Abstract

The value network of the high-tech park constitutes a value co-creation system where multiple entities facilitate knowledge transformation through interaction, thereby achieving collaborative innovation. The reasonable distribution of collaborative innovation benefits among various innovation entities is a critical factor in maintaining the motivation for innovation within the value network. This study examines the co-creation mechanism of the value network in high-tech parks from the perspective of knowledge innovation, with the aim of enhancing the efficiency of knowledge transfer and spillover among entities. Additionally, it seeks to establish a fairer and more rational benefit distribution framework to promote collaborative innovation and ensure the stable operation of the value network. Firstly, we identify the entities involved in value co-creation within the high-tech park. Subsequently, we analyze the roles and interrelationships of these entities within the value co-creation network. We determine the knowledge flow pathways by employing the shortest path method, and innovatively construct an MMPP/M/C queuing model to depict the processes of knowledge transfer and spillover among the entities engaged in value co-creation. We optimize and solve the queuing model using the matrix geometric method, deriving metrics such as the average queue length, average arrival rate, average waiting time, and service intensity under the steady state of the system, and verify the applicability and effectiveness of the model in the application of the high-tech park through empirical data. Finally, by integrating the improved Shapley value method, a benefit distribution model is constructed that incorporates five types of factors: contribution level, resource input, knowledge spillover effect, effort level, and risk undertaking. The rationality and operability of this model are validated through computational examples. Research findings indicate that the optimized queuing model enhances the efficiency of knowledge transfer and spillover among entities, while the refined benefit distribution mechanism effectively compensates entities with high contribution levels, substantial resource inputs, significant knowledge spillover effects, elevated effort levels, and high risk assumption levels. This provides both theoretical support and practical guidance for sustaining the long-term stable operation of the value network.
