In addition, a numerical example about Chongqing Yongchuan industrial park, the emulation analysis and the associated discussions are conducted to analyze the equilibriums of principal\u2013agent in different knowledge inputs.

First, this paper reveals the dual adjustments of the node organizations in inputting knowledge, which broadens the vision and borders of the researches on traditional knowledge management. The methods of the traditional principal\u2013agent model and the knowledge input\/output profit model are also expanded. Second, this paper verifies that applying the mode of \u201cknowledge ecological coupling relationship + technology innovation chain\u201d in practice is conducive to enhancing the efficiency of the cross-organizational knowledge allocation in the strategic emerging industry (SEI).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/k-01-2021-0074","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,27]],"date-time":"2021-07-27T05:21:19Z","timestamp":1627363279000},"page":"2987-3008","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Incentive strategy about technology innovation based on knowledge ecological coupling in strategic emerging industry"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"51","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5501-2525","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yue","family":"Long","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8818-2782","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lang","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3747-4897","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pan","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"key2022112109563570400_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"38","DOI":"10.1016\/j.techfore.2017.05.030","article-title":"A win-win-win?
