Abstract:Technological monopoly has a complex and multifaceted impact on enterprise innovation. In an open and win-win economic development environment, the excessive pursuit of technological monopoly may adversely affect enterprises and the industry as a whole. The competitive pattern of enterprises under monopoly conditions has become more and more complex, and it is important to promote ecological collaborative innovation among enterprises to break the technological monopoly, promote the rapid evolution of technology, and realize high-quality development. Therefore, this paper constructs a tripartite evolutionary game model of core enterprises with independent research and development (R&D), follower enterprises lacking R&D capability, and monopoly enterprises. This study uses the innovation ecosystem and technology monopoly as entry points to explore the conditions necessary for fostering ecological synergy among enterprises in the context of anti-monopoly efforts. The parameters of the analysis are established by examining the financial reports of Huawei Technologies, KDDI Corporation, and ZTE Corporation. The simulation analysis is carried out by adjusting the parameters of ecological profit coefficient, R&D probability, and extra profit, in order to study the stability of strategy selection of each party and the stability of the equilibrium strategy combination of the gaming system under different conditions. The results show that: the initial willingness level of the core enterprise, the following enterprise and the monopoly enterprise has limited influence on the evolution process of the system, but there are differences in the sensitivity of the system to the initial willingness level. The eco-collaborative willingness of the following enterprise is positively correlated with the R&D success probability of the core enterprise. The rising cost of innovation compels enterprises to outsource technology, while higher technology purchasing costs further incentivize them to engage in collaboration. Maintaining a moderate eco-coefficient facilitates the establishment of eco-cooperation among firms. Additionally, both an increase in extra profit and a decrease in base profit can promote eco-cooperation, with extra profit serving as a stronger driver of collaboration compared to base profit at the same level.. Therefore, eco-leaders need to improve the willingness of both partners to collaborate. On the other side, firms should focus more on opportunities to create additional profits and increase their added value through innovation and collaboration.
