Collaborative Mechanisms in Manufacturing Ecosystems under Digitalization and Greenization Initiatives

Under the backdrop of developing new quality productive forces, digital technology has provided new impetus for the transformation and upgrading of traditional manufacturing and opened new pathways for the green and collaborative development of the manufacturing ecological chain. This study constructs an evolutionary game model of the manufacturing ecological chain to systematically analyze the strategic evolution mechanisms of multi-agent collaborative innovation under various parameter settings. The findings reveal that factors such as the initial strategy probability of ecological chain actors, the digital-green synergy cost coefficient, the profit distribution ratio of core enterprises, and the level of consumer green preference significantly incentivize participation in digital and green collaboration within the manufacturing ecological chain. Furthermore, government regulatory measures play a crucial role in the stability of the game system: increasing penalties for free-riding behavior facilitates convergence toward an ideal equilibrium, while moderate subsidies promote the achievement and maintenance of a stable cooperative state. This study provides theoretical references and practical insights for promoting high-quality and sustainable development of the manufacturing ecological chain.
