Study on the Knowledge Alliance´s Collaborative Contracts Based on Differences in Power Structure

In the process of inter-organizational cooperation in knowledge aliiance, there exists two power structures, which are core enterprise-led structure and agent-led structure. Our research indicates that in the two structures, the agent´s required unit pay of innovative products is positive correlation to its marginal innovative cost, and is negative correlation to its technical capacity growth earnings. The core enterprise´s optimal marginal profit is negative correlation to the agent´s marginal innovative cost, and is positive correlation to the agent´s capacity growth earnings. Under the situation of the agent-led structure, if the difference between the agent´s unit innovative cost and capacity growth earnings is little, the agent´s required pay is higher than pay of the core enterprise-led structure, and the core enterprise´s marginal profit is lower than profit of the core enterprise-led structure, and vice versa.
