Abstract

Drawing on the theory of complex adaptive systems, this study develops a multi-agent model of a research innovation team through the NetLogo simulation platform. The operational mechanisms of the research innovation team are delineated into three distinct processes: demand-driven collaborative mechanism, objectives-driven knowledge sharing mechanism, and outcome-driven dynamic trust mechanism. These processes describe the individual decision-making of team members and the complex interactions among them. By analyzing the evolutionary patterns of research innovation team stability under various influencing factors, this study shows that: (1) While the effects on team stability vary across different parameter settings, the underlying evolutionary patterns remain largely consistent. (2) The influences of different factors on team stability exhibit nonlinear characteristics. These findings offer theoretical insights and decision-making support for fostering stable development within research innovation teams.
