Model input settings.

Input parametersDefault settingsNotes

unit_num20, 40, 60, 80The number of unit agents involved in the organization

random_p0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9We adopted a random network model to describe connections between unit agents. Here, the parameter represented the probability of links between two units

N_routine4, 6, 8, 10The number of routines involved in the organization

A_routine2The number of states for every routine

K_routine1, 3, …, N_routine – 1The number of routines that affected one certain routine’s contribution to the unit’s fitness

unit_AC1, 2, 3Absorptive capacity of each unit agent

error_p0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9The probability of errors occurring when replicatee units duplicated routines from a template

innovate_p0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8The probability of innovative activities for each unit agent

is_env_change?FALSE, TRUEA Boolean variable representing whether the environmental changes existed or not

env_change_P200, 1000The simulation rounds period of environmental changes
