Abstract

Knowledge sharing is the foundation of EPC consortium cooperation, this paper focuses on the problem of knowledge sharing strategy selection of EPC consortium members, constructs the EPC consortium knowledge sharing game model based on fairness perception, and analyzes the factors influencing the decision-making of EPC consortium's knowledge sharing behavior through data simulation. The research results show that: the size of the initial probability of knowledge sharing of the gamers has a certain relationship with the system evolution; the evolution of knowledge sharing behavior is positively related to the proportion of knowledge complementarity and the coefficient of synergistic benefit; and negatively related to the coefficient of fairness perception, fixed cost, risk cost coefficient, and the coefficient of direct benefit. Suggestions for building a knowledge sharing platform and strengthening contract management are also put forward to provide support for EPC consortium behavioral decision-making research.
