Abstract:It points out the deficiencies of the current co-innovation partner selection evaluation methods, to extract the key points to achieve complementarity matching of heterogeneous resources between partners. The matching should be based on the resources difference between the two sides, rather than unilateral resources. In addition to consider the value brought by the heterogeneous resources, the matching should also consider the cooperate cost brought by the heterogeneous resources. Based on this principle, it proposes two evaluation methods of cooperation partner’s selections: Euclid cooperation distance evaluation methods and cooperation attractiveness evaluation method. It discussed the formula meaning, evaluation index system, and so on. The paper comparative analyzed the characteristics of the two methods combined with L Company’s selecting partner case. It also made policies from the searching of potential partner, managing, and enhancing the cooperation matching specific and diversity.
