Knowledge Sharing within Innovation Network Members with Netlogo Simulation Platform

The efficient knowledge sharing is the key element for innovation network\´s success. The strategies are classified as "sharing", "no-sharing" and "retaliation". The game model of knowledge sharing is set up in terms of the evolutionary game theory. The simulation model is constructed with the Net logo software platform which is efficient in multi-agent simulation. By modeling and simulation, the evolutionary game equilibrium status of knowledge sharing is analyzed according to different payoff value. The result demonstrates that communication, trust and punishment are all important governance mechanisms for knowledge sharing in innovation network.
