Research On The Incentive Model Of Digital Resources Sharing Among Colleges And Universities

In recent years, with the development of internet digital educational resources sharing among colleges and universities is becoming a widely concerned problem. By means of resources sharing, it can make the resources allocation more efficiency, and balance the distribution of resources among colleges and universities, narrow the resources gab between the rich and the poor, maximize the utilization rate of resources, meet the increasingly requirements on resources of users. Although many colleges and universities have realized the advantage of resources sharing, especially with the advances in technology, the digital educational resources is becoming easier to realize, they show no enthusiasm for the resources sharing, lead to the resources sharing among colleges and universities especially those have large gab in resources can't proceed effectively.Based on the analysis of cost and benefit of participants and considering the characteristics of digital educational resources this paper made an analysis of the behavior of colleges and universities in resources sharing using the principal-agent theory and proposed an incentive model. Using the different service strategy the incentive model adjusted the benefit participants gained from the system and made the utility of participants is related not only to the amount of others'contribution, but also to their own efforts. They were forced to build and contribute resources first if they wanted to use others'resources. So it made the sharing system more efficiency.
