Dynamic analysis of industry-university-research cooperation conflict based on interval grey number preference

Conflict of interests in industry-university-research cooperation is the root cause impeding the achievement of cooperation. To provide a basis for decision makers involved in this conflict, dynamic method of conflict analysis could be effectively utilized. Due to the difficulty to obtain preferences of decision makers influenced by several uncertain factors, interval grey number is introduced to describe the uncertain preference in dynamic method of conflict analysis. A new probability of individual state transition is defined, and the dynamic method of conflict analysis based on interval grey number preference is proposed. Finally, an industry-university-research cooperation conflict with interval grey number preferences is analyzed by this new method, and the conflict evolution route is obtained.
