Intellectual property protection and platform digitalization empowering technology entrepreneurship in emerging markets

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: We develop a supply chain model with endogenous interest rate to analyze the collaboration between digital business platforms and technology enterprises in emerging markets, focusing on how platform digital empowerment (PDE) and intellectual property protection (IPP) influence open innovation. We analyze static and dynamic equilibria under bank and platform financing strategies, explore the threshold effect of PDE and the nonlinear influence of IPP, and analyze profit variations among supply chain members under different channel power structures.
