Technical Standardization of Standards Alliance Considering Delay Effect
Technical standard alliance is an important carrier to achieve technical standardization.Due to the disparity between different enterprises in technical basis,absorptive capacity,and market control,the technical standardization of alliance has the characteristic of delay.However,the impact of delay on alliance technical standardization is not yet clear.Therefore,a differential game model for the technical standardization of alliance enterprises is established considering the influence of delay.The optimal strategy,optimal income,standard research and development,and diffusion of alliance leading and supporting enterprises under three different game mechanisms are investigated,and the influence of standardization delay on strategy selection of alliance enterprises is discussed.The results show that the delay has a positive impact on the degree of standardization effort,technology level,and standard market share of the alliance enterprises,but has a negative impact on the proportion of standardization cost borne by the leading enterprises for supporting enterprises and the overall income of the alliance.Moreover,there are three thresholds for the delay.Only when the delay is less than the minimum threshold,the cooperative mechanism is significantly better than that of other mechanisms.When the delay is greater than the maximum threshold,alliance members reach the optimal decision under Nash non-cooperative mechanism.Furthermore,the three mechanisms have different promoting effects on the standardization of the alliance.The Nash non-cooperative mechanism can only slowly promote technical standardization when the alliance has a low degree of development,and the collaborative mechanism can promote the technical standardization to a large extent and accelerate the diffusion of technical standards on the basis of the high development degree of the alliance.
