Design-In this paper, based on the analysis of mutually beneficial symbiotic cooperation behaviours of stakeholders in platform supply chain, a three-party evolution game model of stakeholders' cooperation behaviours in platform supply chain based on mutually beneficial symbiosis mode is established to analyse the evolution paths of cooperation behaviours of stakeholders, and the cooperative behaviors of the three participants are analyzed by system dynamics simulation. Research limitations-The results show that: (1) manufacturing enterprise, platform service provider, and customer can spontaneously form a stable state of mutual cooperation (ecological cooperation, ecological cooperation, ecological cooperation). (2) The initial willingness of the stakeholders will affect the evolution direction of platform supply chain cooperation in the mutually beneficial symbiosis mode, and also influence the strategic choices of other stakeholders. (3) The degree of synergy, the degree of symbiosis, the ecological cooperative outputs, and the coefficient of distribution of ecological incomes play a positive role in the platform supply chain stakeholders to reach cooperation. (4) Platform empowerment cost coefficient, enterprise adaptation cost, cooperation risk coefficient, and resource spillover income are the blocking factors for stakeholders to participate in platform supply chain ecological cooperation. platform supply chain stakeholders cooperative behaviour evolutionary game Full Text Additional Declarations No competing interests reported.
