Abstract

Under the background of the rapid development of the digital economy, managing the digital innovation ecosystem is an important topic. Based on the evolutionary game method, this paper studies the evolutionary game strategy selection of the participants in the governance of the digital innovation ecosystem. It is found that: ① The participants in the governance of the digital innovation ecosystem include three aspects: the government, the platform, and other participants. The roles in the process of the evolutionary game are different. The government plays the role of macro policy guidance, the platform strengthening its governance is the key, and other participants play an auxiliary role. By constructing the “government-platform-participant” tripartite evolutionary game model, this paper simulates and analyzes the evolutionary strategy of the three players in the governance to achieve the balance and stability of the governance effect and puts forward some suggestions to promote the governance of the digital innovation ecosystem. ② Governance principle of the digital innovation ecosystem: establish an effective incentive and punishment mechanism, follow the principle of “promoting innovation, subject fairness and welfare maximization,” and coordinate the relationship between relevant stakeholders and their benefit distribution through legislation and other policy levels, to maximize the welfare of the whole digital economy.
