Companies use cooperative strategies in sustaining performance and competitive advantage. The driver behind the is mutual cooperation. There an integration inter-companies’ alliances at horizontal level. provide platforms coworking spaces for value creation innovation. This purpose of study to explore influence ta’awun (mutual cooperation) innovation alliances. used personal interview with key ...

Stereotypes may influence the attitudes that individuals have towards others. Stereotypes, therefore, represent biases toward and against others. In this paper, we formalise stereotypical bias within trust evaluations. Then, using the iterated prisoners’ dilemma game, we quantitatively analyse how cooperation and mutual trust between self-interested agents are affected by stereotypical bias. We...

In the prisoners’ dilemma game, the only evolutionarily stable strategy is defection, even though mutual cooperation yields a higher payoff. Building on a paper by Robson (1990), we introduce mutants who have the ability to send a (costly) signal, i.e., the “secret handshake,” before each round of the game and to condition their actions on whether or not they observe the same signal from their ...

This paper studies the effects of partner selection on cooperation in an artificial ecol ogy. Agents, represented by finite automata, interact with each other through an iterated prisoner's dilemma (IPD) game with the added feature th-at players choose and refuse potential game partners on the basis of continually updated expected payoffs. Analytical studies reveal that the subtle interplay bet...

We study prisoner’s dilemmas played in continuous time with flow payoffs over 60 seconds. In most cases, the median rate of mutual cooperation rises to 90% or more. Control sessions with 8-time repeated matchings achieve less than half as much cooperation, and cooperation rates approach zero in one-shot control sessions. In follow-up sessions with a variable number of subperiods, cooperation ra...
