Study on Evolutionarily Stable Strategies (ESS) in SME Clusters

Evolutionarily stable strategies (ESS) is used between species co-exist in small medium enterprise (SME) clusters. We assume that each of the potential helpers knows the otherspsila strategies in cluster in this paper. We show that the ability to observe their realizations influences the evolutionarily stable strategies (ESS) of the game. According to our results, under the partial information structure ESS do not always exist. No assistance and immediate assistance are possible ESS, while delayed assistance cannot be an ESS. This paper considers a symmetric conflict, all the potential helpers have the same strategy sets and they all play the same role. A general game theoretical model is developed under one information structures: partial information. At the same time we apply our model to study of the assistance in SME clusters.
