Benchmarking government’s roles to assure the cooperation in collaborative technology innovation, The case of CDMA technology development
Abstract
This paper focuses on searching for the conditions of cooperation in collaborative technology innovation including the Government and private enterprises. After assuming the collaborative project of code division multiple access (CDMA) as one of the collective actions, attempts to analyze the case of CDMA technology development process by applying the theoretical propositions derived from two approaches, collective action andprisoner dilemma. Identifies government’s roles and strategies as a third party who guarantees the realistic conditions for cooperation to induce the success of joint ventures which inherently have the potential risk of cooperation collapse caused by the opportunistic or free‐riding behaviors of private collaborators as self‐interest seekers. Finally, suggests therealistic conditions for cooperation, government’s roles, and policy tools for the future collaborative R&D.
