Abstract

This study aims to investigate the research and development (R&D) competition within the supply chain, focusing on two aspects: R&D competition at the manufacturing level and competition in pricing strategies. This paper establishes a dynamic game model of R&D competition, comprising two manufacturers and two retailers, with both manufacturers exhibiting bounded rationality. The key findings are as follows: (1) an increase in the adjustment speed positively affects the chaotic nature of the R&D competition system, leading to a state of disorder. This chaotic state has adverse implications for manufacturing profitability. (2) The spillover effect exhibits a positive relationship with the level of chaos in the R&D competition system. A greater spillover effect contributes to a more turbulent environment, which subsequently impacts the profitability of manufacturers. (3) R&D cost parameters exert a positive influence on the stability of the R&D competition system. When the system reaches a state of equilibrium, an escalation in the R&D cost parameters poses a threat to manufacturer profitability. (4) Retailer costs play a detrimental role in the stability of the R&D competition system. As retailer costs increase, there is a decline in R&D levels, thereby diminishing manufacturer profitability. (5) To mitigate the chaotic state, we propose the implementation of the time-delayed feedback control (TDFC) method, which reflects a more stable state in the R&D competition system.
