Model of horizontal technological alliance based on energy efficiency

Abstract

According to the life cycle of technological alliance, a three-stage model about energy efficiency of horizontal technological alliance is presented in this paper. The influence of cooperative technology innovation on technological alliance and the influence of operation mode of technological alliance on its energy efficiency are discussed. The necessary conditions of improving energy efficiency of technological alliance are proved by researching the relation between energy efficiency of enterprise member and energy efficiency of technological alliance. And here are the conclusions: the ratio between differences of income and differences of cost, the operation mode of technological alliance are important factors for improving the member's energy efficiency. Energy efficiency of technological alliance decreases when member's ratio between income increment and cost increment is lower than energy efficiency of other members set. The result of it can be applied to establish technological alliance of industrial groups in China. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
