Research on triple helix innovation behaviour selection and influencing factors in innovation ecosystem

ABSTRACT

The innovation ecosystem is the relatively stable state that constitutes the behavioural game of the main body, and the triple helix is the key to construct the innovation ecosystem. This paper explores the interactions between the triple helix in the innovation ecosystem by constructing an evolutionary game model to clarify their innovation behaviour choices and influencing factors. And further analyse the interaction regulations between subjects through parametric simulation. Based on the results of game modelling, the behavioural strategies are proposed to maintain the effective operation of the innovation ecosystem under the stable state of the three parties’ evolution. This research idea has a wide application in exploring the relationship between different subjects in the innovation ecosystem, providing theoretical and practical guidance for the choice of the innovation behaviour of government, enterprises, and universities in the innovation ecosystem.
