Abstract

This paper investigates the profit-sharing and investment strategies for new product development in a one-leader-one-follower R%D alliance while considering the industrialisation risks involved. The long-term value of R%D investment, ROR (rate of return), is used as the decision target by the partners of the alliance. Game models are suggested to inform the decision-making of the R%D alliance. Two cases with different probabilities of industrialisation risks are proposed to demonstrate the different decisions of R%D alliances. The two partners obtain maximal ROR simultaneously under the condition of one case. For the other case, the two partners cannot obtain maximal ROR under the same condition. A dynamic profit-sharing strategy is suggested to manage the R%D alliance. Finally, numerical examples are used to illustrate related issues.
