As computer science and complex network theory develop, non-cooperative games and\ntheir formation and application on complex networks have been important research topics.\nIn the inter-firm innovation network, it is a typical game behavior for firms to invest in their\nalliance partners. Accounting for the possibility that firms can be resource constrained, this\npaper analyzes a coordination game using the Nash bargaining solution as allocation rules\nbetween firms in an inter-firm innovation network. We build an extended inter-firm n-player\ngame based on nonidealized conditions, describe four investment strategies and simulate\nthe strategies on an inter-firm innovation network in order to compare their performance. By\nanalyzing the results of our experiments, we find that our proposed greedy strategy is the\nbest-performing in most situations. We hope this study provides a theoretical insight into\nhow firms make investment decisions.
