The innovation ecosystem is distinct from innovation itself; the former is based on technology, talent and markets, as well as many other elements of innovation that form the organisational system. Current research on the innovation ecosystem has primarily focused on theoretical discussions of the concept and analysis of evolution mechanisms and influential factors; however, research on mechanisms that influence cooperation and competition within the system is limited. Corporation and competition are the critical elements in the acquisition value of the innovation ecosystem and the realisation of innovation breakthroughs. Given the dynamic nature and complexity of the innovation ecosystem, this research is based on the "value co-creation" theory of innovation ecosystems and consistency with the "reciprocity" principle of evolutionary psychology. Understanding the mechanisms that underlie corporation and competition in the innovation ecosystem from the perspective of evolutionary psychology may foster more efficient cooperation and competition among enterprises, enabling them to realise the value of co-creation and innovation breakthroughs.
创新生态系统不同于创新本身；前者基于技术、人才和市场，以及构成组织系统的许多其他创新要素。当前对创新生态系统的研究主要集中在概念的理论探讨、演化机制和影响因素的分析上；然而，对影响系统内合作与竞争机制的研究却很有限。合作与竞争是创新生态系统获取价值和实现创新突破的关键要素。鉴于创新生态系统的动态性和复杂性，本研究基于创新生态系统的“价值共创”理论，并与进化心理学的“互惠”原则相一致。从进化心理学的角度理解创新生态系统中合作与竞争的潜在机制，可能会促进企业间更高效的合作与竞争，使其实现共创价值和创新突破。
