Abstract:

Industry alliances serve as a potent conduit for enhancing innovation outputs among firms. However, the dissolution of such alliances is frequently precipitated by inequitable innovation revenue distribution mechanisms. The phenomenon of re-alliance among enterprises within an industry alliance is addressed, and the cooperative game with coalition structure is introduced to delineate the existence of preferential alliances among enterprises. Subsequently, the classic axiom of consistency is extended to cooperative games with coalition structures, axiomatizing the Banzhaf value with coalition structure within this framework. The consistency axiom underscores the intrinsic stability of allocation rules, stipulating that when a subset of participants departs with their allocated gains, the remaining participants’ shares in the resultant reduced game should align with their shares in the original game. Consequently, an allocation rule that satisfies the consistency ensures that agreements formulated under this rule remain unaltered irrespective of participant count fluctuations. Then, a three-stage extended game model is constructed for the distribution of innovation revenues within industry alliances, examining the operational mechanism of the Banzhaf value with coalition structure. Finally, three novel innovation revenue distribution schemes are proposed, predicated on the Banzhaf value with coalition structure, and an empirical analysis is conducted using the intelligent voice intellectual property industry alliance as a case study.The findings indicate (1) The Banzhaf value with coalition structure possess inherent stability and is uniquely characterized by consistency within the priori union and standardization. (2) Within the three-stage extended game model for the distribution of innovation revenues in industry alliances, the Banzhaf value with coalition structure constitutes the subgame perfect equilibrium for the initial two stages. (3) Scheme one, predicated on the Banzhaf value with coalition structure, not only fosters the development of dominant enterprises but also safeguards the stability of the industry alliance. Scheme two enhances solidarity among enterprises within the industry alliance, facilitating the flow of innovation elements. Scheme three is more apt for industry alliances constituted by risk-neutral enterprises.
