Abstract: This paper examines the optimal strategies for distributing limited R&D resources, considering the impact of governmental incentives and intra-enterprise competition teams in Ethiopia. We investigate that Success probabilities are increasing likelihood of innovation success with enhanced resource and effort inputs, but with diminishing returns. Equilibrium analysis and optimization problems, solved via MATLAB simulations, illustrate how resource allocation can significantly enhance innovation efficiency. We find while focusing resources on a single team may maximize outputs under specific conditions, distributing resources across multiple teams can promote beneficial competition and exploit diverse capabilities, thus optimizing the overall innovation within enterprises. This paper contributes valuable insights to strategic management in Ethiopia by outlining mathematical methods through which Ethiopian enterprises can maximize their innovation potential in the midst of resource constraints and competitive dynamics.
