Abstract

The coordination mechanisms for resolving conflicts of interest among multiple stakeholders are crucial for the efficient operation of science and technology innovation supply chains. The fixed proportion allocation model and static incentive system prove inadequate for complex innovation practices, while flexible distribution methods, dynamic adjustments, and multidimensional performance evaluation systems better stimulate initiative and ensure collaborative stability. Multi-level governance frameworks, consensus-building culture cultivation, and incentive compensation mechanisms at the local policy level provide robust safeguards to mitigate cooperation friction and enhance collaborative innovation capabilities. The study concludes that institutional innovation and incentive mechanism optimization serve as the foundation for promoting efficient multi-stakeholder collaboration in science and technology innovation supply chains, enabling resource integration and sustainable development of innovation ecosystems. These findings offer theoretical support and practical references for regional innovation governance and policy formulation.
