Abstract

The green manufacturing innovation ecosystem provides a critical pathway for the interactive innovation balance between exploratory and exploitative technology innovation for green enterprise manufacturing. Under finite rationality, we construct a three-party evolutionary game model and its dynamic replication equations among the enterprise, scientific research, and support layers. We numerically simulate the decision-making behavior of the three parties with the BYD case study to analyze the influence of each parameter on the evolutionary outcome. The results show that the maturity and innovation degree of green manufacturing exploratory and exploitative innovation technologies can effectively measure the degree of innovation balance of the enterprise. Strengthening the scientific research layer to adopt green manufacturing technology innovation research and development for the enterprise and reducing the “conflict” will promote the enterprise to engage in exploratory innovation, which in turn will encourage the decision of enterprise interactive innovation balance. The support layer actively searches for information and supports the green manufacturing innovation ecosystem with information, funding, and other innovation resources, thus facilitating enterprises to engage in interactive innovation balance.
