Park, Byung-Jin Robert. "The Effects of Coopetition and Coopetition Capability on Firm Innovation Performance." Diss., Virginia Tech, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/10919/37916.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation is motivated by two research questions: 1) to what extent does coopetition impact firm innovation performance? and 2) to what extent does a firmâ s coopetition capability influence the relationship between coopetition and firm innovation performance? Despite the popularity of coopetition in both the academic and business arenas, empirical studies on the effects of coopetition on firm innovation performance are rare. With the dynamic and paradoxical nature of coopetition, the role of a firmâ s specific capability to manage coopetition (i.e., coopetition capability) is an important issue that has remained under-researched in the literature.
In an endeavor to contribute to the coopetition literature in the context of technological innovation, both theoretical and methodological improvements were pursued for this dissertation. From a theoretical perspective, I conceptualize coopetition as composed of three components: 1) competition between partners, 2) cooperation between partners, and 3) the interplay between competition and cooperation. It is argued that the balance between competition and cooperation is essential to generate greater innovation performance in the paradoxical relationship. Further, I newly conceptualize coopetition-based innovation that is composed of three components: 1) joint innovation, 2) innovation through knowledge application, and 3) innovation in the partnerâ s domains. Methodologically, I measure coopetition as a continuous variable.
Using both a longitudinal research design in the semiconductor industry and an exemplar case study of coopetition, I examine the effects of coopetition and coopetition capability on coopetition-based innovation. To represent coopetition, I employed four combinations with two types of competition (technology competition and market competition) and two types of cooperation (type strength of a focal alliance and tie strength between partners). The empirical evidence indicates that the balance between competition and cooperation at both the dyadic and portfolio levels increases the potential of firms to generate greater innovation performance from coopetition. This study demonstrates that firms with coopetition capabilities can manage coopetition and create greater common value with a partner and appropriate more value from the dynamic and paradoxical relationship. The research findings also have important managerial implications.<br>Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
Coopetition, the activity of competing firms cooperating, comes with both benefits and risks for the parties involved. The approach to studying coopetition differ among scholars, however the phenomenon continues to be relevant in the area of research with several articles published in recent years. While coopetition has gained momentum in research, what drives coopetition is still argued to be an area that needs further development. Research on coopetition in regulated environments, is especially called for. Therefore, this study has the purpose to explore what motivational factors and risks in coopetition may apply to a regulated market. A case study was conducted by looking into two ongoing coopetition relationships in the Swedish eHealth market. The findings show that there are previously identified motivational factors and risks that are relevant in the context of a technological and regulated market. The study contributes with two propositions that suggest that customer demand and occasional low competitiveness are motivational factors for coopetition in a regulated market. Additionally, the findings resulted in two propositions that enclose financial risks and cultural differences as risks.

Previous issue date: 2017-12-11<br>Nenhuma<br>A coopetição é uma estratégia de relacionamento multifacetada, multinível e paradoxal entre
firmas (LUO, 2004; CHEN, 2008; GNYAWALI; PARK, 2009). Apesar do número significativo de estudos relacionados com o conceito, a coopetição é ainda considerada como um conceito em andamento. Os estudos se limitaram em explorar uma série de firmas, principalmente pequenas e médias empresas (PMEs), embora a coopetição possa criar benefícios relevantes para essas firmas (BOUNCKEN et al., 2015). A coopetição deve ser analisar a partir de uma perspectiva multidimensional, considerando a influência de arranjos institucionais em estratégias de competição, cooperação e coopetição entre firmas. Além
disso, há um aumento da pressão competitiva. As empresas buscam a coopetição para alcançar um posicionamento no mercado internacional (FESTA et al., 2017). Minha tese foca-se na lacuna que associa coopetição, instituições formais e desempenho internacional, uma vez que os estudos sobre esses construtos são raros e inconclusivos. Desse modo, minha tese objetiva enfatizar como a coopetição influencia a performance na internacionalização de firmas de mercados emergentes considerando o papel da coopetição. Apesar de essa pesquisa focar em diferentes indústrias, as firmas competem e cooperam em uma mesma indústria, caracterizando a coopetição. Conectando os campos teóricos e empíricos, a questão de pesquisa é: “Qual é a relação entre instituições formais e desempenho internacional das firmas de uma economia emergente considerando o papel da coopetição?”. Esta pesquisa está dividida em duas fases: uma etapa qualitativa e uma quantitativa. A etapa qualitativa é exploratório-descritiva. Foi baseada em 21 entrevistas realizadas com representantes de firmas e instituições formais e com pesquisadores acadêmicos para estabelecer um estudo de caso sobre o contexto. A etapa quantitativa foi realizada com a pesquisa com firmas das indústrias de calçado, vinho e tecnologia da informação, resultando em 166 respostas válidas. A técnica de análise aplicada foi a análise de regressão. As principais contribuições deste estudo são duplas. A primeira contribuição é enfatizar o papel das instituições formais na discussão sobre coopetição. A segunda está relacionada com a pesquisa sobre coopetição associada com a performance na internacionalização de firmas. Poucos estudos lidam com a performance das firmas e geralmente focam-se no desempenho de inovação (GNYAWALI; PARK, 2009; GNYAWALI et al., 2008). Como resultado, é apresentado um quadro que sustenta o conceito de abordagem institucional. Além disso, os resultados mostraram uma relação direta ente instituições formais e desempenho internacional mediada pela coopetição. As limitações deste estudo baseiam-se no fato de a investigação ter ocorrido em um único país. Ao final deste estudo, outros caminhos de investigação surgiram. Em primeiro lugar, esta pesquisa focou-se no nível entre firmas, desconsiderando os níveis individuais, intrafirmas e de rede. Segundo, a coopetição como contexto poderia analisar cadeias de agentes que adicionam valor às firmas (BRANDENBURGER; NALEBUFF, 1995).<br>Coopetition is a multifaceted, multilevel, and paradoxical strategy of relationship between firms (LUO, 2004; CHEN, 2008; GNYAWALI; PARK, 2009). Despite the significant number of studies related to the concept, coopetition is still considered as a concept in progress. Studies have been limited in exploring a variety of firms, mainly small and medium enterprises (SMEs), although coopetition can generate relevant benefits for these firms (BOUNCKEN et al., 2015). Coopetition must be analyzed from a multi-dimensional view, considering the influence of institutional arrangements on competition, cooperation, and coopetition strategies between firms. Moreover, there is an increased competitive pressure. Firms search for coopetition to gain positioning in international markets (FESTA et al., 2017). My thesis focus on the gap that associates coopetition, formal institutions, and international performance because there are rare and inconclusive studies about these constructs. Thus, this thesis aims to highlight the relationship between formal institutions and international performance of firms from an emerging economy taking into account the role of the coopetition. Although this research focuses on different industries, they compete and cooperate in the same industry, characterizing coopetition. While connecting theoretical and empirical topics, the research question is the following: what is the relationship between formal institutions and international performance of firms from an emerging economy taking into account the role of the coopetition? This research is divided into two stages: a qualitative and a quantitative step. The qualitative stage is exploratory-descriptive. It was based on 21 interviews realized with representatives from firms and formal institutions and academic researchers to establish a case study about the context. The quantitative stage was carried out with the survey with firms from footwear, winery, and information technology industries, resulting in 166 valid responses. The analysis technique applied was regression analysis. The main contributions of this study are twofold. The first contribution is to stress the role of formal institutions in the discussion about coopetition. The second contribution is related to the research about coopetition associated with the performance in the internationalization of firms. Few studies deal with firm performance and usually focus on the innovation performance (GNYAWALI; PARK, 2009; GNYAWALI et al., 2008). As a result, a framework supporting the concept of Institutional Approach is presented. Also, results showed a direct relationship between formal institutions and international performance mediated by coopetition. Limitations of this study are based on the investigation to have occurred in a single country. At the end of this study, other avenues of the investigation appeared. First, this research focused on the inter-firm level, disregarding individual, intrafirm and network levels. Second, coopetition as context could analyze chains of agents that add value to the firms (BRANDENBURGER; NALEBUFF, 1995).

This dissertation has a specific objective: to explore the processes underlying the genesis and affirmation of coopetition as management innovation. We asked: what are the microfoundations of coopetition? In what ways is coopetition considered a management innovation? Is it possible to identify generally applicable criteria to recognize coopetition concept? And, finally, is coopetition a new way of looking at interfirm relationships, or more simply a reconceptualization of an old phenomena?

Background: In the contemporary economy, companies increasingly cooperate withtheir competitors to create competitive advantages through knowledge creation andabsorption, broad resource pool, reduced risks and uncertainties, and better productsand services for consumers. This situation is termed as coopetition which refers tofirms simultaneously competing and cooperating with each other.Aim: As a newly developed concept, coopetition has not been fully studied in manyperspectives. This research studies two furnishing retailers in China, Red StarMacalline and IKEA China to explore more fresh knowledge about coopetition. Weput our main focus on a single firm level, investigating the premises of coopetitionstrategy, the driving forces behind coopetition behaviors, as well as the contribution ofcoopetition to service management regarding each firm.Method: Our research design applies the comparative case study. More specifically,we adopt qualitative and deductive approach. The entire research primarily bases onsecondary data, including literature and published information about two firms. Themain source of first-hand data is gathered by interviews and observation.Findings: For firms which involved in competition dominant coopetition, thepremises display the co-existence of similar and complementary attribute while incooperation dominant coopetition, bargaining power of specific participants andunique characteristics of firms are key premises.Mutual dependence and power imbalance are two main driving forces behindcoopetitive behaviors. In the low-mutual-dependence condition, actors behavecompetitively regardless their power imbalance. In the imbalanced dependence situation, the actor who has both power disadvantage and dependence disadvantagehas more cooperative behaviors.Coopetition can contribute to the service management arena. Competition dominantcoopetition enhances service quality in terms of products and service diversity, while cooperation dominant coopetition facilitates the customer value co-creation.

<p>Konkurrens har varit den gällande synen under en lång tid för hur företag ska tänka och agera på en marknad.

Senare har dock samarbete blivit mer vanligt eftersom det exempelvis kan ge minskade kostnader, högre kvalitet och en ökad utdelning på lång sikt. Allt eftersom marknaden förändras har en blandning av dessa uppstått, det vill säga coopetition. Detta innebär att två eller flera aktörer samarbetar trots att de även är konkurrenter.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.<br>Coopetition is the simultaneous cooperation and competition amongst competitors (Gnyawali &
Madhaven, 2001); the objective being mutually beneficial results (Oxford, 2012). It is a fairly new
concept and has not widely been applied to the hospitality industry. Most of the research that exists
on this topic relates to destination marketing, cooperation or competition in tourism and hospitality;
very little looks at coopetition.
The current economic situation, and as its negative impact on the hospitality industry in South
Africa, has provided a need to explore how hotels are able to work together in order to retain their
position in the market as well as gain a competitive edge over one another and other markets.
The primary objective of the research report is to contribute to coopetition theory, specifically in the
hospitality industry. The study is based on research of the interaction between the network of fivestar
hotels in Cape Town. It explores their relationships with one another and with other hotels in
South Africa.
The secondary objective is to answer a number of subordinate research questions which provide
insight into the factors that promote or hinder coopetition. It considers the reasons for coopetition,
the role of third parties in the relationship, the impact of geographic location on these relationships,
amongst other factors.
The results of the study have provided insights as to how factors internal and external to the
organisations impact their willingness to cooperate with their competitors. The study determines
reasons for coopetition, activities where it is present and shares the impact of the coopetitive
initiatives to date. It confirms some of the existing theory and highlights areas where there is scope
for future research.

Full textAbstract:
Technological innovations and development have caused rapid changes in the business environment. These changes have forced firms to change in the way they do business and operate. Two industries that are affected by these changes are the telecommunication industry and the information technology (IT) industry. Here, it is no longer possible for firms to operate completely individually, and many firms are pushed to engage in so called coopetition, which is cooperation with both vertical and horizontal competitors. As a consequence of the environmental changes, firms’ business models also need to change. They need to find new ways to create and deliver value that meet customer demand, and to capture a fair portion of that value from customers. We have found a connection between coopetition and business models, since value creation and value capture is central in both concepts. Previous research has however only touched the connection between coopetition and business model, and literature still lack research on this new subject. The research gap has led us to formulate the following problem definition: How can coopetition and business models be integrated, and what effect does it have on firms’ value creation, delivery, and capturing? With this problem definition the study has three purposes. Firstly, the study aims to find how coopetition and business models can be seen and understood through the lenses of each other. Secondly, how such integration can lead to that the complex nature of coopetition can be managed more appropriately. Thirdly, create an understanding for what effects coopetition and business models can have on value creation, delivery, and capturing when integrated. As the aim with this degree project is to develop a deeper understanding for this connection, we have chosen to do a qualitative study. We have conducted interviews with participants from seven different firms. In order to complement the theoretical framework we have held an expert interview with Professor Devi Gnyawali. The analysis has led us to the conclusion that coopetition and business models are connected in more ways than is admitted in the literature today. We have found that coopetition and business models are not only connected in value creation and value capture, but also in value delivery. We can also conclude that it is important to develop principles in the business model of when, why, and how to engage in different forms of coopetition to better manage it. This can have a positive influence on value creation, value delivery and value capture.

Esta tesis doctoral pretende dar respuesta a preguntas tradicionales de la literatura de empresa usando herramientas de economía ampliamente aceptadas. Uniendo los campos de la contabilidad y la productividad, se aíslan distintos factores que determinan los cambios en productividad y se analiza su contribución sobre el desempeño financiero de la empresa, sobre el cambio de rentabilidad. Se hacen aportaciones metodológicas y se proporcionan nuevos instrumentos a los gerentes de empresas para la toma de decisiones conducentes a aumentar la competitividad.
El primer capítulo propone una definición de incentivo económico potencial de los competidores para colaborar entre ellos: coopetición. Usando un enfoque no paramétrico basado en una medida del desempeño financiero (la rotación de los activos o ROA), se compara entre los estados de no coopetición y coopetición. Las ganancias potenciales de ROA en coopetición se descomponen en distintos factores. Usando la industria europea del automóvil entre 2000 y 2012, se genera una muestra de más de cuarenta y cinco mil casos de cooperación potencial entre dos plantas competidoras. Unos doce mil de esos casos presentan ganancias de ROA debidas a la coopetición, principalmente gracias a mayores ganancias de productividad asociadas a coopetición. Por su parte, las plantas pequeñas encuentran mayores incentivos económicos en la coopetición, pero únicamente si se involucran de forma activa. El capítulo ofrece algunas recomendaciones sobre la flexibilidad que la legislación europea que rige este tipo de acuerdos debería ofrecer.
El segundo capítulo ofrece una nueva metodología para definir y medir el downsizing organizacional, considerando no solo los cambios en la cantidad de trabajadores sino todos los factores productivos de la organización. La definición se basa en cantidades teóricas costo-eficientes de las cantidades de inputs. Con este enfoque novedoso, se mide el efecto que el downsizing tiene sobre los cambios en productividad, que a su vez se puede relacionar con los cambios en ROA. Así, se quiere medir la contribución directa que tiene el downsizing organización sobre los cambios del desempeño económico. De forma natural, se extiende esa definición para el downsizing del trabajo, que está más cerca de las medidas parciales de downsizing que la literatura ha usado generalmente. Se ilustra esta metodología usando plantas de producción europeas entre 2000 y 2012. El downsizing organizacional no contribuyó a mejorar el ROA de esas plantas, mientras que el resto de componentes de productividad contribuyeron a empeorar el desempeño económico promedio durante todo el período.
El tercer artículo parte de la metodología presentada en el segundo definiendo reestructuración organizacional: upsizing o downsizing. Se trata de analizar más profundamente las consecuencias en el desempeño de distintas opciones de reestructuración en la industria europea del automóvil. Se comparan de forma directa dos muestras opuestas de plantas que incrementan o reducen su tamaño organizacional para analizar las diferencias. Varias hipótesis comparan los efectos de la reestructuración de ambos grupos. Los resultados muestran diferencias significativas: mientras que las plantas que redujeron su tamaño vieron su ROA reducirse, las que incrementaron su tamaño lo vieron incrementarse. En promedio las plantas que aumentaron tamaño obtuvieron mejor contribución al desempeño financiero a través del efecto de la restructuración, el cambio técnico y el cambio de eficiencia (tres componentes del cambio de productividad). Para las empresas que redujeron su tamaño, las reducciones de los precios de los factores no compensaron las importantes pérdidas de productividad al reestructurarse.<br>This dissertation aims to provide answers to traditional questions in the business literature using well-adopted economic tools. By bringing together accounting and productivity fields, it analyzes the contribution to the financial performance change from different drivers of productivity change. The methodological contributions throughout the dissertation provide novel instruments to the management on their decision making to enhance the competitiveness of the business.
Chapter One proposes a definition of the potential economic incentives for competitors to collaborate with each other: coopetition. With a non-parametric approach based on a financial performance measure (return on assets, ROA), it compares between non-coopetition and coopetition statuses. Potential ROA gains from coopetition are decomposed by economic driver. Using the European automobile industry, a sample of over forty-five thousand cases of two-plant potential cooperation is created, in the period from 2000 to 2012. Roughly twelve thousand of these cases presented ROA gains from coopetition, mainly driven by higher productivity gains of coopetition. As well, smaller plants find stronger economic incentives for coopetition, but this effect is only fruitful when they actively engage to coopetition. The chapter offers some policy recommendations on the legal framework of competition issued at the EU level.
Chapter Two proposes a novel methodology to define and measure organizational downsizing, which encompasses not only changes in labor but also all the inputs employed by an organizational unit. This definition is used to assess the downsizing effect on productivity changes, which can be directly linked to changes in ROA. Thereby, it directly measures the contribution from downsizing to the financial performance change. A natural extension of that definition is presented for labor downsizing, which relates to the commonly adopted definition in the literature, merely dependent on labor changes. The methodology is illustrated using European automobile production plants from 2000 to 2012. Organizational downsizing among automobile plants was found to have no effect on ROA, whereas related effects worsened the financial performance all over the period.
Chapter Three expands upon the previous one, defining organizational restructuring: upsizing or downsizing. The chapter is a deeper analysis of the performance outcomes of different restructuring processes in the Automobile industry in Europe. It compares two opposite samples of organizational downsizers and organizational upsizers to understand better their differences. Several hypotheses were introduced, which directly compare the restructuring-related contributions to financial performance in the two groups. Results for the two subsamples in that industry were significantly different: organizational downsizing contributed to worsen financial performance whereas organizational upsizing contributed to improve it. On average, upsizers obtained higher contribution to financial performance from restructuring, technical change and efficiency change (three drivers of productivity change). For downsizers, input prices reductions did not compensate the detrimental productivity losses.

Full textAbstract:
Coopetition, the joint occurrence of competition and cooperation between two actors on more than one activity is an emerging topic of research. As Bengtsson and Kock (2014) mentioned, there is an exponential increase in published papers that tackle the problems and opportunities surrounding coopetition. Coopetition as a phenomenon has received an increased attention since Raymond Noorda, CEO and founder of Novell, first introduced the concept in the 1980s (Luo, 2007). Though, not only has the academic realm seen an increase, the business world has moved towards a more cooperative identity in relation to their competitors. Where partnerships used to be looked upon as second best solution (Beamish, 1988), it is now changing rapidly with the increase of joint ventures and other forms of partnerships (Pastor & Sandonis, 2002, p. 245). This empirically explorative study uses data extracted from an established Asian high-technology company. With 61 respondents ranging from regular employees to top management, correlation and regression analyses have been conducted to draw conclusions about the role of internal coopetition for learning within organizations based upon the previously mentioned variables. In conclusion, parts of the inter-organizational theory on coopetition can be adapted and used in an intra-organizational framework. Though more importantly, it is proven that in order to increase organizational learning from within the company, the coopetition intensity should be maintained on high levels.<br><p>Continue</p>

Full textAbstract:
Cooperation have in previous research been seen as a negative impact on competition and vice versa. This thesis is building on a concept called coopetition in which cooperation and competition is studied simultaneously. Coopetition have been studied in terms of the level of cooperation and competition. However, we found a possible link between coopetition and complexity in previous literature. Thus, the purpose of this study is to explore whether complexity can develop an understanding for what organizations within a company group cooperate and compete about as well what they want to cooperate and compete about. The four main cornerstones in the theoretical frame of reference is cooperation, competition, coopetition and complexity. We begin by defining these concepts, describing previous research and discuss various factors of the concepts. Finally, we further develop the possible link between coopetition and complexity. For reaching our purpose we study a company group in the travel industry. We are conducting unstructured interviews with people at leading positions in the company group. Our analysis is done by thematic network analysis in six steps. The empirical data is coded, basic themes are found and a condensed version of the interviews is presented together with a short presentation about the company group. In the analysis we present two global themes, cooperation and competition. These are both derived from the basic themes and organizing themes. The factors of complexity are the organizing themes. Our conclusion is that complexity can categorize wanted and actual cooperation in the company group in the sense that complexity has to be lowered for cooperation to exist. Regarding competition, we did not draw any conclusion to our purpose due to lack of data. However, we find that competition is mainly seen as negative in the coopetitive situation studied. The implications of this thesis is that complexity can further refine the concept of coopetition but the causality have to be further tested. In a managerial perspective, leaders should focus on decreasing the factors of complexity if cooperation is wanted. We also suggest that it is important to understand if people in organizations are positive towards cooperation and negative to competition or the other way around.

Full textAbstract:
Companies increasingly rely on external partners when starting their innovation initiatives. Emergent innovation ecosystems of heterogeneous actors proved to be successful in leveraging combined competence for the creation of the new ventures. However, constantly changing environment of simultaneous competition and cooperation – coopetition, presents a challenge for the ecosystem management. Drawing on the network orchestration and coopetition research, I analyze management practices and coopetition dynamics in the digital creative industry in Northern Sweden. Based on the analysis, I offer two main contributions. First, I provide a detailed account of innovation ecosystem orchestration within the digital creative industry, including its chronological evolution and the challenges related to it. Second, the application of coopetition notion to the innovation ecosystem context brings forward tensions that should be further scrutinized in order to develop better management practices for such innovation networks.

Full textAbstract:
I dagens ekonomi räcker det inte att beskriva aktörer på marknaden som samarbetande eller konkurrerande. Företag både samarbetar och konkurrerar med samma företag, vilket kräver ett mer dynamiskt begrepp för att beskriva situationen - detta begrepp är coopetition. Coopetition innebär en blandning av de två engelska orden cooperation och competition, och syftar till när bolag både samarbetar och konkurrerar med varandra på samma gång. Coopetition äger rum på de flesta marknader världen över, och den internationella filmmarknaden är inget undantag. Forskning har visat att produktionsbolag på den globala filmmarknaden ingår i “coopetitiva” relationer med sina konkurrenter, men då den svenska filmindustrin ser annorlunda ut än den internationella, finns en viss problematik med att applicera denna forskning på svenska produktionsbolags interaktion med varandra. Därför har denna studie avsett att kartlägga hur coopetition ser ut mellan produktionsbolag på den svenska filmmarknaden. Resultatet visar att coopetition mellan svenska produktionsbolag yttrar sig genom samarbete inom områdena finansiering, rättigheter, kompetensdelning, riskspridning samt bransch intresse, samtidigt som konkurrens äger rum inom områdena finansiering, rättigheter samt upphovsmän.

Full textAbstract:
The coopetition (simultaneous focusing on cooperation and competition) between organizations and within organizations has received increasing attention from academia and practice. However, there is no guide on how coopetition can be encouraged. I discuss in how far leadership styles (Transformational, Transactional, laissez-faire, and Autocratic) can be utilized to enable coopetition between the project manager and functional manager and between the project managers as well within a matrix organization. Analyzing 16 semistructured interviews from a company located at Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, I explain that both transformational and transactional together (mixed style) can enhance the coopetition between the managers.

Full textAbstract:
Med den stora överhängande klimatkrisen som influerar sättet som vi agerar och lever idag så ökar även forskningen kring hållbarhet inom alla områden. Det blir vitalt att fortsätta undersöka då vi har en deadline att möta. Det blir hela tiden av vikt att ta reda på hur vi kan förändra de ordinarie sätten att leva och arbeta på för att istället kunna göra en positiv klimatpåverkan. Inom den företagsekonomiska forskningen har hållbarhetsarbete diskuterats som ett sätt att generera kapital och marknadsfördelar. Vidare finns även diskussioner om att det är vitalt för företagen att arbeta med hållbarhet och vilka tillvägagångssätt de kan använda. I diskussionen har forskningen visat att olika typer av samarbeten har en tydlig effekt på hållbarhetsarbete där företag uppmanas att arbeta tillsammans med andra för att nå hållbarhetsmål. Studien syftar till att studera hur företag kan förbättra sitt hållbarhetsarbete om de samarbetar med sina konkurrenter, alltså om de ingår i en hållbar coopetitiv relation. Detta forskningsområde saknar tidigare forskning då fenomenet hållbar coopetition ännu inte är djupt studerat, vilket har gjort att studien presenterar ett tydligt forskningsgap men att resultaten hittills visar på positiva utfall från hållbarhetsfrämjande coopetitiva relationer. Författarna har valt att undersöka fenomenet hållbar coopetition genom en fallstudie där vi medvetet valt att inkludera fyra verksamheter från ett hållbart restaurangnätverk. Nätverket passar studien då deras främsta anledning till att arbeta tillsammans är för att främja hållbarhet i restaurangbranschen samt att alla aktörer inom nätverket är varandras konkurrenter. För att undersöka nätverket har författarna valt en kvalitativ metod där insamlingsmetoder för primärdata valdes till semistrukturerade intervjuer. Insamling av sekundärdata sker i viss mängd för att tydligare assistera informationen om nätverkets mål och arbetssätt. Studien konkluderar att den studerade hållbara coopetitiva relationen främjar hållbarhet då studiens resultat visar på att respondenterna har kunnat utveckla sitt hållbarhetsarbete och inkluderat arbetssätt i linje med hållbar utveckling. Författarna kunde även identifiera drivkrafter, förutsättningar och utfall hos aktörerna kopplat till den hållbara relationen. Detta gör det möjligt för studien att ge ett teoretiskt bidrag i en utveckling av forskningsområdet hållbar coopetition då studien har kunnat visa att coopetition främjar hållbarhetsarbete. Med resultatet kan vi uppmuntra samhället till att fortsätta skapa coopetitiva hållbara relationer för att främja hållbarhet och för att utveckla verksamheternas enskilda arbete till att gå i linje med hållbar utveckling.

Full textAbstract:
The business environment has become increasingly complex and dynamic in recent years, requiring companies to compete in a fast-developing and fast-changing environment. In order for companies to maintain sustained competitive advantage and success, they increasingly engage in various forms of inter-organizational alliances, which enable the creation of value. Value creation through alliances is often seen as a result of a purely collaborative behavior however, it can also result from the presence of collaboration and competition simultaneously. Thus, one form of inter-organizational alliances that has become increasingly popular both scientifically and practically in the last two decades is coopetition, the paradoxical relationship that arises when two or more companies cooperate and compete with each other at the same time. We have detected three gaps in previous research on coopetition. Firstly, previous research has lacked to look at coopetitive interactions and their effects. Secondly, research has lacked to empirically investigate negative outcomes of coopetition. Thirdly, research has lacked to examine a two-sided perception of specific dyadic coopetitive relationships and their coopetitive interactions with regard to performance outcomes. This research gaps motivated us to find answers to the following research question: “How do coopetitive interactions in a dyadic coopetitive relationship affect the performance outcomes of both partners in this relationship?” As such, the purpose of the study is to explore the effect of coopetitive interactions on performance outcomes from a two-sided perspective in a dyadic coopetitive relationship. This further means exploring how coopetitive interactions occur, how such interactions impact performance outcomes, and what factors influence these coopetitive interactions. In order to realize the research purpose consisting of four objectives, we conducted a qualitative study in form of semi-structured in-depth interviews with ten companies from different industries located in Sweden. This enabled us to get one two-sided perspective from two coopeting partners of the same coopetitive relationship and beyond some one-sided perspectives that still provided perceptions for both sides of the coopetitive relationship. The findings and analysis show that the customer plays a central role in the decision for two companies to form a coopetitive relationship and engage in coopetition either out of mutual consent or out of force. Depending on if the customer has an unsought influence or a forcing influence on the decision to engage in coopetition, the interactions can be either cooperation- or competition-dominated. This further influences the degree of tensions, which are created internally, and these tensions influence the degree of reciprocity, which will ultimately affects the respective performance outcomes for both companies in the dyadic coopetitive relationship. Furthermore, we have figured out that these coopetitive interactions can be affected by a combination of managerial capabilities (proactivity, management frameworks) and social capabilities (commitment, trust, transparency, openness). As a result, we derived propositions and developed a conceptual model illustrating this process for validation in further research.

Full textAbstract:
Konkurrens och samarbete kan ses som kontraster. Men teorin coopetition menar att dessa kan ske simultant. Studiens syfte är att utöka coopetition-fältet genom att undersöka ett branschforum och hur samarbete och konkurrens kring hållbarhet upplevs av konkurrerande fastighetsbolag. En fallstudie på Stockholms stads Forum för hållbara fastigheter har genomförts. Studien består av sex semistrukturerade intervjuer med en projektledare för forumet och fem bolagsrepresentanter. Det teoretiska ramverk som använts är processdelen ur Bengtsson & Raza-Ullahs (2016) modell. Studien tyder på att processen är dynamisk, men innehåller mindre utmaningar och är mindre komplex än vad teorin beskriver. Det går inte heller att identifiera någon spänning. Samtidighet sker i tid, men inte i rum. I denna studie är hållbarhet ett område där det är relativt lätt att samarbeta med konkurrenter. Avslutningsvis ställer sig studien frågande till vad det egentligen innebär att samarbete och konkurrens ska ske samtidigt samt hur det tar sig i uttryck.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse explore la question suivante : comment les entreprises gèrent-elles la coopétition par le prisme du partage de connaissances ? et à quelles intentions stratégiques répondent ces choix managériaux ? Notre principal résultat consiste en l’identification de trois stratégies de coopétition, chacune reposant sur un management particulier du partage de connaissances. Les deux premières s’inscrivent dans la continuité des travaux existants sur la coopétition. Elles adoptent une approche Hamelienne de course à l’apprentissage, dans laquelle la gestion du partage consiste à trouver des techniques pour partager la connaissance critique pour le succès du projet commun, sans permettre au partenaire d’internaliser la connaissance. Ces techniques consistent à « protéger » ou « partager & protéger ». En revanche, la troisième stratégie identifiée, à l’inverse des prédictions de la littérature sur la coopétition, encourage un partage plus ouvert et intensif qui peut même aller jusqu’à renforcer le coopétiteur avec sa connaissance. Mais si l’entreprise s’engage dans cette stratégie ce n’est pas par altruisme ou par volonté d’aider l’autre, mais parce qu’elle perçoit une opportunité pour capturer de nouvelles connaissances. Ainsi, les entreprises ont conscience de la dynamique positive de création de connaissances qui va être générée en partageant de manière transparente au lieu de réduire la transparence (i.e., processus de capture de valeur constructif). Cette troisième stratégie permet d’aller plus loin dans notre compréhension des stratégies de coopétition et de leur management. Elle ouvre la voie à de nouvelles recherches se basant sur des fondements intégrant Deutsch et Nonaka. Notre contribution n’est pas uniquement académique, elle est aussi managériale. Elle ouvre les champs des possibilités d’actions des dirigeants, en identifiant une stratégie contre-intuitive, pour maximiser les opportunités liées à une relation de coopétition. De plus, notre modèle intégrateur peut être réutilisé pour former les individus à la coopétition en leur permettant d’identifier trois stratégies et leurs implications organisationnelles<br>We investigate how does a focal firm strategize and manage coopetition through the specific lens of knowledge sharing. Based on two case studies of two firms considered as masters in the management of coopetition, we identify three ways to create and pursue the focal firm’s current and future advantage in coopetitive project. The two first ways confirm the dominant research approach of coopetition which argues that a focal firm should obstruct or reduce to its strict minimum the coopetitor’s potential for internalizing the knowledge shared for the project success (i.e. reduce or restrict the focal firm’s knowledge transparency). Indeed, the value creation of a coopetitive project success can be jeopardized by the fear of knowledge sharing between competitors. The reduction or restriction of its knowledge transparency is a key organizational solution to overcome this fear of knowledge sharing and thus this fear of collaborating with a competitor. Alternatively, we identified a third way of strategizing and managing coopetition which goes one step further in coopetition. Indeed, by building on our empirical results, Deutsch’s theory of conflict resolution and Nonaka’s organizational knowledge creation theory, we argue that the creation and pursuit of current and future advantage for a focal firm in coopetitive project can also consist in implementing a strategy and management based on greater and freer transparency. In that case, the dominant coopetitive knowledge sharing adages of “protecting” or even “sharing and protecting” shift into “sharing and enabling for constructive capturing.” This third way opens academic research opportunities based our boarder theoretical roots than Hamel’s approach of inter-firm relationships in which the strategic intent is a learning race and one of the key organizational element is a minimized transparency. It also has managerial contributions. Indeed, it increases top management analytical capability by generating a new counter-intuitive insight: enabling a competitor in a coopetitive project can be strategic tool to create and pursue current and future advantage for themselves. Moreover, our integrated framework can be reused to train the analytical coopetitive capabilities of top managers by making them aware about three ways of strategizing and managing coopetition

L'apprentissage profond a été utilisé pour trouver de nouvelles solutions à des problèmes de longue date dans la recherche en sciences sociales. Il nous permet non seulement d'analyser de multiples modalités de données (texte, audio, vidéo, images), mais aussi de découvrir de nouvelles techniques pour améliorer les approches de modélisation existantes. Dans ma thèse, j'étudie comment l'apprentissage profond peut apporter de nouvelles solutions aux problèmes dans le contexte de la coopetition. La coopétition fait référence à un environnement dans lequel plusieurs agents peuvent simultanément rivaliser et collaborer les uns avec les autres. Naturellement, la plus grande question dans ce domaine est de savoir comment trouver un équilibre entre les forces opposées de la collaboration et de la concurrence. Dans ma thèse, j'utilise l'apprentissage profond pour résoudre ce problème à la fois au niveau du consommateur et au niveau de l'entreprise. Chacun de mes chapitres examine un contexte de concurrence différent. Le chapitre 1 porte sur les négociations entre les entreprises et leurs clients, le chapitre 2 sur la concurrence entre plusieurs entreprises sur la base des données des clients, et le chapitre 3 sur les jeux de négociation non structurés avec des informations asymétriques entre deux agents. Traduit avec DeepL.com (version gratuite)<br>Deep learning has been used to find novel solutions to long-standing problems in social science research. It not only allows us to analyze multiple modalities of data (i.e., text, audio, video, images) but also uncover new techniques to improve upon existing modeling approaches. In my thesis, I look at how deep learning can provide new solutions to problems in the context of coopetition. Coopetition refers to a setting where multiple agents can simultaneously compete, as well as collaborate with each other. Naturally, the biggest question in this area is how to find a balance between the opposing forces of collaboration and competition. In my thesis, I use deep learning to tackle this problem statement at both the consumer level and the firm level. Each of my chapters considers a different coopetition context. Chapter 1 looks at negotiations between firms and their customers, chapter 2 is on coopetition between multiple firms on the basis of customer data, and chapter 3 focuses on unstructured bargaining games with asymmetric information between two agents

Full textAbstract:
Research on the phenomenon of coopetition described as two competing firms cooperating with the intent to create value have seen a great increase the last couple of years. However, studies exploring intra-firm coopetition have been less popular leaving this research field understudied and in need for further exploration. An intra-firm competition relationship can be defined as when two or more project teams cooperate on a joint project, simultaneously as they are competing for their parents’ firms’ resources. Pursuing such a contradictory relationship is not without challenges and therefore, cooperative and competitive activities needs to be balanced in order to achieve value creation. In the context of an organization based on projects, the dynamic relationship of coopetition poses several challenges for project managers to handle. The purpose of the study was to further generate and assist the development of the theory field of coopetition by gaining a deeper understanding of the coopetitive dynamics on an intra-firm level. In this thesis, we explore How is intra-firm coopetition perceived and handled in order to create value within an organization? By conducting semi-structured interviews, seven project team members from three different organizations in the automobile industry ecosystem, shared their experiences of working project based and being exposed to intra-firm coopetition on daily basis. Our findings suggest that intra-firm coopetition needs to be balanced to support value creation. The analysis of the study was conducted by a project-as-practice lens which supported the understanding of cooperative and competitive activities that the project teams participated in. The respondents perceived cooperative activities as beneficial for organizational learning and stressed the importance of social interactions between project teams. On the other hand, competitive activities were perceived as positive as long as they were held on a healthy level and did not become dominant. Our study advances the research field of intra-firm coopetition by gaining knowledge of underlying factors of cooperative and competitive activities that are sources for tension, and how reaching and maintaining a state of balance is crucial for value creation both for the project team, organization and customer. Keywords: Coopetition, Intra-firm coopetition, project-based organizations, and projects-as-practice.

Full textAbstract:
Detta är en studie om coopetition inom destinationsnätverk, det vill säga när aktörer på en turistdestination ingår i ett nätverk där samarbete och konkurrens sker samtidigt. Studien är gjord på Visit Gellivare Lapland (VGL), ett destinationsnätverk i Gällivare i norra Lappland som består av ett destinationsbolag, turistbyrån samt ca 55 stycken medlemmar som verkar inom besöksnäringen. Coopetition är en sammansättning av engelskans cooperation och competition och är ett fenomen som uppkommit i och med att konkurrerande organisationer går samman för att nå konkurrensfördelar. Det teoretiska syftet med denna studie är utveckla en förståelse för hur kommunikation och motivation hindrar respektive möjliggör coopetition inom ett destinationsnätverk och det praktiska syftet är att utveckla Visit Gellivare Lapland som destinationsnätverk genom att ge destinationsbolaget och dess medlemmar en förståelse för hur kommunikation och motivation påverkar samarbetet inom nätverket. I och med att vi i studien vill nå en förståelse för begreppet coopetition inom destinationsnätverk har vi antagit en hermeneutisk kunskapssyn och eftersom syftet är att se hur de på förhand bestämda faktorerna kommunikation och motivation påverkar coopetition så antar studien ett deduktivt angreppssätt. Praktiskt har vi gjort en kvalitativ undersökning bestående av tolv stycken semistrukturerade intervjuer med medlemmar från destinationsnätverket VGL samt anställda på destinationsbolaget och turistbyrån. Med intervjuerna ämnade vi besvara vår frågeställning: Hur uppfattar destinationsbolaget Visit Gellivare Lapland och dess medlemmar coopetition i destinationsnätverket? Av studien framgår att medlemsrespondenterna generellt sett inte upplever någon konkurrens, men att de alla gärna samarbetar med andra medlemmar inom nätverket. Den främsta motivationsfaktorn för medlemskapet i destinationsnätverket uppger medlemmarna är marknadsföringen som de får utav destinationsbolaget/turistbyrån. Destinationsbolaget uttrycker dock en önskan om större engagemang från medlemmarnas sida då de upplever att få medlemmar medverkar i nätverkets aktiviteter, så som exempelvis medlemsmöten. Vad gäller kommunikationen i nätverket framgår att en rad olika kanaler används, men huvudsakligen sker kontakten mellan destinationsbolaget/turistbyrån och medlemmarna via mail och telefon. Vi får av destinationsbolaget/turistbyrån uppfattningen att de inte tycker att medlemmarna tar till sig den information som skickas ut, medan medlemmarna i flera fall uttrycker att de får för mycket mail, så att de inte tar sig tid att läsa. De främsta slutsatserna och rekommendationerna vi vill ge destinationsbolaget/ turistbyrån är att de bör se över kommunikationen med medlemmarna och förmedla den nytta medlemmarna kan få av att vara engagerade i destinationsnätverket. Gällande medlemmarna anser vi att de först och främst bör inse vikten av sin egen medverkan i nätverkets aktiviteter och att samtliga medlemmars engagemang i nätverket kan förbättra nätverket i stort.

La coopetition viene definita come un fenomeno paradossale che coinvolge simultaneamente competizione e cooperazione in una relazione tra due o più attori. L’idea principale è che due o più attori rivali, cooperino tra loro rimanendo competitors per ottenere simultaneamente i vantaggi della prospettiva competitiva e di quella cooperativa, che tradizionalmente vengono ritenute antitesi l’una dell’altra. La coopetition viene implementata come strategia di creazione e cattura del valore in diversi settori, ma in maniera rilevante in quello dell’high tech dove essa trova terreno fertile grazie alla presenza di caratteristiche chiave. Il lavoro di tesi vuole focalizzarsi su questo fenomeno, partendo dagli studi e dalle ricerche in questo ambito che hanno trattato l’argomento in riferimento a settori e organizzazioni diverse, spesso definendo la coopetition sotto diverse lenti teoriche. In maniera specifica il lavoro di tesi si concentrerà sul settore mobile phone, che è stato ed è teatro di diverse tipologie di dinamiche coopetitive. Dopo aver analizzato il fenomeno sotto il profilo teorico infatti, il focus sarà diretto alla descrizione e analisi di casi di studio che evidenziano le strategie coopetitive di Samsung, in particolare a livello intra-organizzativo, la coopetition interna tra le unità organizzative di Samsung , a livello verticale, la coopetition tra Samsung e il principale concorrente Apple e infine, a livello di network, la coopetition tra Samsung e i produttori di smartphone che condividono il sistema operativo Android. Il lavoro di tesi consentirà di cogliere l'organizzazione e la strategia di Samsung basata su una peculiare coopetition multi-livello e il ruolo ricoperto da essa nel supporto alla rapida crescita dell'azienda coreana nel mercato globale dello smartphone.

This paper is the result of a study of competition and cooperation in regard to tourism between the five largest municipalities in Norrland in northern Sweden. The municipalities are Luleå, Skellefteå, Umeå, Sundsvall and Gävle. The aim was to study the relation between competition and cooperation between these municipalities. An important theoretical aspect in this study is coopetition, where competition and cooperation occur at the same time. The studies on coopetition in the Nordic kontext is limited and the main literature on coopetition study the relationship between firms. This study however takes a geographical standpoint and aims to fill the gap in the literature on how competition and cooperation are connected to each other between chosen municipalities. To do this the tourism strategies of the municipalities were studied thoroughly. These written strategies provided information about how the municipalities view their competitive advantages and disadvantages and some general information about how they cooperate with the nearest regions. To find out how the municipalities think about competition and cooperation with the other four specific municipalities interviews were made with experts on the tourism field in each municipality. The results show that the municipalities do not have established strategies for how they are to be competitive compared with other specific municipalities. They do not see it as profitable to compete, instead they should complement each other. At the same time however, most of the municipalities mostly cooperate with municipalities in a short distance from them, and due to lack of resources only briefly or not at all with the municipalities studied here.

Full textAbstract:
Horizontal relationships between subsidiaries within an MNC are rarely shown on an organisation chart but the interactions along this dimension are critical to the achievement of an MNC’s global operations and strategic activities. Different interaction logics of social relationships and economic exchanges in horizontal relationships induce simultaneous competition and collaboration between the subsidiaries.
Collaboration and competition is a business reality in inter-subsidiary relationships as they collaborate to share resources and knowledge, but ultimately compete for resources, customers and profits. While much research has focused on the effects of internal collaboration, and to a lesser extent internal competition, on organisational performance, little is known about the antecedents of competition and collaboration and the interplay of simultaneously occurring interactions. By focusing on one or the other, any understanding of the inherent tensions between the two is overlooked.
This research explores the coopetitive nature of the inter-subsidiary relationship using a qualitative approach within three MNCs, where internal competition and collaboration are more salient. Data were gathered from 98 semi-structured interviews with top and senior management, top management focus groups and a body of secondary data including internal reports, policy documents and external publications, among others, has been referenced.
The study makes three key contributions. First, by extending Luo’s (2005) theoretical model of intra-MNE coopetition, the study identifies additional respective antecedents of competition and collaboration. Second, the study locates inherent tensions arising from inter-subsidiary coopetition and explicates how the tensions are managed by the HQ and subsidiaries using spatial, balancing and assessing mechanisms and specific interventions. Third, the study offers an empirically-based model of inter-subsidiary coopetition with a more dynamic and temporal set of multiple relationships among the subsidiaries within the MNCs. Management implications include that senior management teams be aware of the opportunities and constraints of promoting a culture of collaboration while simultaneously fostering inter-subsidiary competition through internal accounting policies and incentive systems, and that the capability of senior managers to work effectively within dual organisational structures be developed and incorporated into executive development programmes.

As a means of enhancing our everyday lives, ICT industry has caused and experienced significant transformations during past two decades. This transformation relates to technological advances within ICT, and beyond the ICT ecosystem. Wireless ICT is also not an exception in this regard. Accordingly, if we consider Internet of Things (IoT) as the main enabler for transformation, M2M is then the technological enabler of IoT that represent the Wireless ICT in the process of transformation. In this thesis we benefit from the concept of Smart City as a place where Wireless ICT participates for digitalizing other industries. We investigate how smartification is taking place, where our findings show that wireless ICT mainly empowers other industries to provide M2M-enabled services. Consequently, this participation imposes major changes on the wireless ICT ecosystem itself. Therefore, we study the changes that are forming the “future wireless ICT”. We have studied cases from smart cities, and expanded our data collection by performing semi-structured interviews with experts and decision makers, as well as participating in multiple projects and workshops. Accordingly, we have benefited from two major theories for analyzing the collected data; namely ARA model and Five Forces framework. Finally, we argue that traditional actors (i.e. MNOs & Vendors), first have to adopt value co-creation in new businesses. This means cooperation among these actors, which changes the Seller-Buyer relationship to Supplier-Customer, in which they co-create the value. Accordingly, we argue that the linear processes of creating value are inefficient in these new markets and value networks must be adopted instead. As a result, we introduce “vertical coopetition” as a dominant business relationship among traditional actors, and new entrants in future wireless ICT. As the main contribution of this thesis, we discuss the logic behind vertical coopetition while comparing it with horizontal coopetition.<br><p>QC 20160815</p>

“[A]s much as any other product, the car has shaped not only the global economy but how billions of people live”1,whilethe digital area is nowshapingthe car.Coopetition, a strategy presenting firms with the opportunity to collaborate and compete at the same time,is becoming a prevalent phenomenonamong large OEMs and start-ups in the automotive industry.Respectively, considering that coopetition, in the context of open innovation and new technologies, has been identified as a successful strategy, this thesis will therefore analyse the relationship between OEMs and external start-ups in the context of coopetition and corporate open innovation strategies. Several typesof corporate incubators, accelerators and corporate innovation labs emerged within the last years, howeveran integration of all three of these has not yet been widely explored. Accordingly, while these open innovation streamsare used by large corporationsto get access to the start-upecosystemand increase their innovation capabilities, the relationship between OEMs and external start-ups will further lead to CIIAs (a combined approach of corporate incubators, corporate innovation labs and corporate accelerators),demonstratedin the context of coopetition. This exploratory study therebycontributes to the relationship between external start-ups and OEMsthrough aCIIA approach,answering the two following researchquestions;•What are the main drivers of the OEM and external start-uprelationship?•How do OEMs and external start-ups coopete in the context of corporate open innovation strategies?To dulyanswer these research questions, we choseaqualitative researchmethodcombined with an interpretivist and inductiveapproachas well asempirical findings generated from 6semi-structured interviews.

Full textAbstract:
Miljöproblemen är ett faktum som idag blir allt mer uppmärksammat. Företag har insett att de måste ta ansvar och har aktivt börjat arbeta mer med hållbarhet. Logistik har en stor påverkan på miljön, i och med att det rör aktiviteter allt från råvaruproduktion fram till distribution till slutkund. En industri som är speciellt utsatt är textilindustrin, varför vi har valt att fokusera på denna industri i denna studie. Samarbete och integration är nödvändigt inom logistik för att uppnå en miljövänlig flödeskedja. Företag har till stor utsträckning börjat samarbeta med leverantörer för att uppnå en effektiv flödeskedja, inte bara ur lönsamhetssynpunkt utan även miljömässigt. Samtidigt har begreppet coopetition (samarbete med konkurrenter) fått en allt större uppmärksamhet det senaste årtiondet. I litteraturen har användningen av coopetition hittills haft ett lönsamhetsfokus, och inte i lika stor utsträckning på hur företag kan använda coopetition för miljömässiga anledningar. Således identifierade vi ett gap i litteraturen kring användandet av coopetition i flödeskedjor med syftet att uppnå en mer hållbar flödeskedja och därmed en mer hållbar textilindustri. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka huruvida företag inom textilindustrin är villiga att använda coopetition för att uppnå en miljövänligare flödeskedja från råvaruproduktion till och med produktion, i ett bredare perspektiv än det som görs idag. Vidare är syftet att undersöka inom vilken/vilka aktiviteter i flödeskedjan där coopetition är möjligt och på vilket sätt dessa samarbeten kan genomföras. Denna studie genomförs med hjälp av kvalitativa intervjuer med respondenter från stora och små företag inom textilindustrin. Studiens centrala slutsatser är att respondentföretagen överlag är positivt inställda till användningen av coopetition i miljömässigt syfte. Däremot vet de inte i dagsläget på vilket sätt inom vilka aktiviteter där samarbeten skulle vara möjligt samt på vilket sätt dessa samarbeten skulle kunna utformas. Coopetition kan ses som ett verktyg för att uppnå miljövänligare flödeskedjor, däremot är det viktigt att företagen vinner något på samarbetet. Vidare ges förslag på underlättande faktorer då ett coopetitionsamarbete ska implementeras och bibehållas. Sammantaget bidrar studien med insikt till användandet av coopetition ur ett bredare perspektiv än det som fokuseras på idag.

In the thesis, the methodology and methodical guidelines for evaluation of the readiness of an enterprise to implement coopetition model are performed that based on integral indicator assessment which generalizes the features of industry dynamics, market heterogeneity, the degree of cooperation inside of an enterprise and competition level. At the same time, the understanding of coopetition is presented as a system of paradoxical multilevel interactions between proactive economic entities that choose the partner consciously despite the previous experience or duration of the interactions towards new value creation and new competences generation. The classification of the coopetition is developed by restructuring the features, types and number of participants of the interaction, meanwhile, the organizational development models are classified by including the coopetition as an atypical and yet normal attribute of organizational dynamic. Therefore, the organizational models are classified by the following approaches: situational, selection, dialectic, theological, institutional, phenomena, game theory, revolutionary, cyclic and wave approach, and structural functionalism. The organizational development is interpreted as a system of coopetitive organizational and economic interrelations that are formed owing to dialectic interactions of planned and spontaneous interventions into organizational processes and structures, that develop co-evolutionarily reproducing mutual influence of the transformations in the business environment and strategic management concepts. As a results of overview of previous findings and comparative analysis the system of key features of organizational development is complemented by the following: coevolution of the strategic and organizational adaptations (or mutations), multifunctional leadership, the existence of systematic paradox of organizational development (proactivity and adaptivity co-existence), and coopetitive features of organizational development. In the thesis, the bibliometric analysis was conducted to reveal the clusters of the main academic outcomes in the sphere of coopetition research, the chronology analysis, global trends and the most possible trajectories of the future development of coopetition research were presented. The hypothesis about the existence of certain drivers of competitive, coopetitive and cooperative behavior in the market was formulated and proved by DEA which implies the determination of the efficiency of transformation of the inputs of an enterprise into outputs, and which gives the opportunity to reveal the industrial specifics of forming the competitive pressure, key drivers of competitive and coopetitive interactions. The air crafting industry became the pilot for the research to check the hypothesis. It is proved that the competitive pressure from B2B customers (airlines) arise and shifted the focus of competitive interactions between main players towards cost-effective decisions to the detriment of human-friendly decisions. Coopetition as an opposite to rent-seeking behaviour may offer many options that will bring benefits in terms of resources economization, as well as safety and security benefits. The methodology of the preliminary selection of the potential partners was performed in the thesis. The offered methodology is based on evaluation of three criteria: market share, intentions to competences development and ability to cooperate. These criteria allowed to form the profiles of the enterprises (outsider, laggard, business shark, lone ranger, scout, benefactor, innovator and technological leader) and their possible interferences (coopetition, intense competition, light competition, the cooperation of strong ones, cooperation of weak ones, neutrality and opportunism). The matrix of interference presented in the thesis is an effective tool for decisionmaking about the choice of strategic partner for coopetition. The methodical toolbox is developed as a two-steps approach which implies the microeconomic stability evaluation and cooperation stability assessment. The microeconomic stability hexagon is based on the evaluation of the dispersion of revenue and margin, research and development costs, sales and administration costs, long-term debts (quantitative data), meanwhile the cooperation stability hexagon is based on assessment of cooperative interactions in a sphere of supply, research and production (combination of quantitative and qualitative data).
After revealing the most relevant potential partner for further coopetition there is a need to evaluate the business-patterns and strategic ploys in accordance complementarity of the further structuring business-processes. CANVAS modelling as a methodical approach was re-structured and re-grouped towards the search of homogeneity and /or heterogeneity of the patterns, and new zones of interactions with the potential partner, which can be done by the modification of neural network analysis (as it was performed in the thesis). The CANVAS-model is complemented by new blocks of the analysis: competitors-opportunists and competitors-voluntars (neologism). In the thesis the qualitative data research was performed (the combination of the expert evaluations and empiric research). The survey data were collected and processed to reveal the main antecedents and laws of coopetition appearance in such industries of Ukraine as: air crafting, car manufacturing, chemistry, energy and machine-building industries. It was revealed the link between the readiness to implement the coopetition strategy and life cycle of the organization, between readiness and internality – externality, and reactivity of the TOP-management of the enterprises. It is proved the coopetition is related to the competences-oriented strategy and is the opposite to the risk-avoiding and rent-seeking behavior. The hypothesis about the interrelations between the readiness to implement coopetition and the organizational characteristics was proved. Thus, the industrial specifics were revealed as a result of data processing: there is a link between the readiness and life cycle of the organization, internality or externality of TOP-management
and activity degree in a process of decision-making. The criterions of the partner choice were detailed for the industries of Ukraine, and the link between opportunism and readiness to implement the coopetition was identified. In the thesis, it is offered to use the term "organizational viscosity" as a characteristic of an organizational system that affects the speed of evolution towards coopetition as a new paradigm, and which is related to decentralization and speed of decision-making and dynamics of organizational configurations.

Det övergripande syftet med den här avhandlingen var att utreda om network coopetition, samarbete mellan konkurrerande aktörer, kan öka värdeskapandet inom hälso- och sjukvården. Inom hälso- och sjukvården är network coopetition ett ämne som fått liten uppmärksamhet i tidigare studier. För att besvara syftet utvecklades en modell för network coopetition inom hälso- och sjukvården. Modellen applicerades sedan på en del av vårdkedjan för patienter i behov av neurokirurgisk vård. Resultaten från avhandlingen visar att: (1) Förutsättningarna för network coopetition i vårdkedjan för patienter i behov av neurokirurgisk vård är uppfyllda. (2) Det finns exempel på horisontell network coopetition i den studerade vårdkedjan. (3) Det existerar en diskrepans mellan hur aktörerna ser på sitt eget och de andra aktörernas värdeskapande. (4) Värdeskapandet bör utvärderas som ett gemensamt system där hänsyn tas till alla aktörer och utvärderas på process- nivå där hänsyn tas till alla intressenter. Dessa resultat leder fram till den övergripande slutsatsen är att network coopetition bör kunna öka värdeskapandet för högspecialiserade vårdkedjor med en stor andel inomlänspatienter.<br>The overall purpose of this thesis was to investigate whether network coopetition, cooperation between competitive actors, can increase the value creation within the health care system. Within health care, network coopetition is a subject granted little attention in previous research. To fulfil the purpose a model for network coopetition within the health care system was developed. The model was the applied to one part of the chain of care for patients in need of neurosurgery. The results from this thesis show: (1) The conditions for network coopetition in the chain of care for patients in need of neurosurgery are fulfilled. (2) Examples of horizontal network coopetition have been found in the studied chain of care. (3) There is an existing discrepancy between how each actor recognizes its own and the other actors’ value creation. (4) The value creation ought to be evaluated as a common system where all actors are taken into account and at a process level where all stakeholders are considered. These results supports the final conclusion that network coopetition ought to be able to increase the value creation for highly specialized chain of cares with a large share of within-county patients.

Full textAbstract:
The concept of coopetition was introduced by Brandenburger and Nalebu in 1996 and is defined as a combination of cooperation and competition between multiple organisations. Since then, the number of articles on coopetition has constantly increased. As part of this process, the literature introduced the paradigm of forced coopetition. This recently developed paradigm describes a situation in which a client organisation forces multiple external suppliers to cooperate, even though the suppliers are competitors on an inter-organisational level. Hence, forced coopetition is an integral part of IT multi-sourcing projects with multiple IT supplier organisations. This research project focuses on an evaluation of factors that influence the success of forced coopetition relations in IT multi-sourcing projects. Due to the simultaneous coexistence of cooperation and competition, the client organisation experiencestensions, which may cause the multi-sourcing project to fail. As a result, the awareness of factors that are critical for the success of such relationships is crucial for a client organisation. This is particularly important because supplier organisationsplay an increasing role in the success of the client organisation. Despite the increased importance of coopetition management, only a limited body of research has examined which factors and control mechanisms have an impact on successful forced coopetition relations. This research project is first attempt to bridge this research gap. The study applied an explanatory sequential mixed method design, with priority placed on quantitative methods. First, the study conducts a quantitative survey to identify the critical success factors of a forced coopetition relation in IT a multi-sourcing project. Finally, explanatory semi-structured interviews are conducted within the study to discuss the quantitative findings in more detail while integrating the literature. Ultimately the study identified a set of factors which are considered as critical for forced coopetition relations. The study makes two main contributions. First, the study provides a framework of critical success factors in forced coopetition relations. Second, it offers guidance to managers of IT multi-sourcing projects as to which factors needs to be taken into account in order to successfully manage IT multi-sourcing projects with competingsuppliers.

Les entreprises ont particulièrement recours aux fusions-acquisitions (F/A) suite à des chocs sectoriels et la maîtrise de telles stratégies constitue un enjeu important pour la vie économique des entreprises. L’objectif de notre thèse était d’approfondir notre connaissance de l’aspect humain des F/A. Plus particulièrement, nous nous sommes intéressés aux relations entre les membres des organisations fusionnées et à l’évolution des identités de ces organisations. Pour ce faire, nous avons réalisé une étude du cas Air France-KLM constituée d’une revue de presse, d’une revue des rapports annuels de l’entreprise et de 49 entretiens semi-directifs. Nos résultats ont permis de retrouver un certain nombre d’éléments de la littérature en ce qui concerne la coopération, la compétition sociale et la résistance du personnel dans le cadre de la fusion. Aussi avons-nous été en mesure de préciser le fonctionnement de certaines de ces catégories. Surtout, nous avons mis en lumière l’existence de l’opportunisme dans le cadre des F/A et contribué à notre connaissance des différentes formes qu’il peut prendre.

To this end, we carried out a case study of Air France-KLM, consisting of a press review, a review of the company's annual reports and 49 semi-structured interviews. Our results revealed a number of elements in the literature concerning cooperation, social competition and employee resistance in the context of the merger. We were also able to clarify how some of these categories operate. Above all, we have highlighted the existence of opportunism in the context of M&A and contributed to our knowledge of the different forms it can take. We have also shown that the identities of the organizations involved in an M&A can evolve in a simple, hybrid or market-driven way over the course of the collaboration with the partner

Bakgrund: Företag idag verkar i en föränderlig omvärld och inom marknadsföringsforskningen blir företagens relationer allt mer centrala för att skapa värde och konkurrensfördelar för dagens företag. Genom att företag både samarbetar och konkurrerar samtidigt, kan en värdefull coopetition-relation uppstå, som kan ses som svaret på hoten från omvärlden.Syfte: Studiens syfte är att beskriva hur coopetition mellan företag i ett destinationsnätverk skapar värde, samt analysera vilket detta värde är. Metod: En kvalitativ fallstudie med semistrukturerade intervjuer. Studiens respondenter utgörs av fyra turismföretag som ingår i Göta Kanals företagsnätverk Officiell Partner Göta Kanal samt Göta Kanalbolags marknadschef. Slutsatser: Studien visar att coopetition existerar inom Officiell Partner Göta Kanal och att turismföretagarna uppfattar samarbete och konkurrens inom nätverket på olika sätt. Genom samarbete skapar coopetition värde inom nätverket genom att turismföretagarna rekommenderar varandra till turisten och på så sätt skapar en bättre helhetsupplevelse för denne. Värdet som skapas genom konkurrens består av att företagarna driver varandra till utveckling. Inom nätverket skapas värde genom en process av drivkrafter och aktiviteter som är sammankopplade och påverkar varandra. Denna process beskrivs av några respondenter som cyklisk, genom att samtliga aspekter är dynamiska.

Full textAbstract:
Intresset för närproducerad mat växer. Klimatdebatten ökar medvetenheten kring maten vi äter. Som ett resultat av detta startades REKO-ring 2013 i Finland. 2016 kom REKO-ring till Sverige och har ökat snabbt i popularitet. REKO står för rejäl konsumtion och konceptet går ut på att närproducerad mat säljs via Facebook-grupper, direkt från producent till konsument. Antalet producenter som säljer liknande produkter inom varje REKO-ring ökar vilket bidrar till att producenterna måste samarbeta och konkurrera samtidigt. Syftet med studien är att öka förståelsen för hur samarbete och konkurrens fungerar mellan producenter inom REKO-ring samt undersöka om begreppet coopetition kan utvecklas genom tillämpning i alternativa matnätverk. Tidigare forskning gällande fördelar och nackdelar inom alternativa matnätverk, samarbete och konkurrens inom alternativa matnätverk samt coopetition används för att uppnå syftet. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer med grönsaksproducenter som deltar i REKO-ring samlades empiri in för att söka svar på de forskningsfrågor som vägleder undersökningen. Resultatet visar bland annat att producenterna upplever relationen med konsument som en fördel och mängden administration som en nackdel. Samlingen av producenter är en positiv sida av samarbetet och behovet att vara strategisk nämns som ett resultat av konkurrensen. Utifrån coopetition visar det sig leda till bättre kvalitet och större utbud. Relationerna inom nätverket är god, men studien finner också tecken på att engagemanget ibland brister hos deltagande producenter. Studien finner även att producenter inom REKO-ring inte anser att en anställd ansvarig behövs i nätverket vilket visar på motsatsen mot tidigare studier som finner att ledarskap är viktigt där coopetitionbaserade relationer existerar.

Le paysage actuel de la recherche en coopétition, avec ses pressions concurrentielles accrues, met en évidence la nécessité d'élaborer des cadres de réflexion pour faire progresser notre compréhension des interactions organisationnelles, et établit l'importance de la construction d'une base solide de recherche pour l'étude de la coopétition interne. Cependant, en dépit d'une littérature croissante examinant la coopétition inter-organisationnelle, les recherches sont encore rares concernant la nature, les dynamiques et l'évolution du phénomène au sein des entreprises. Cela contraste avec le fait que, les organisations doivent faire face à une complexité structurelle croissante, ainsi que des rôles professionnels qui changent radicalement au cours des années, amenant les employés à acquérir de nouveaux types de connaissances et à développer de nouvelles formes d'interactions avec d'autres acteurs.La présente thèse vise à opérationnaliser le phénomène de coopétition intra-organisationnelle, tandis qu'un modèle théoriquement éclairé est développé pour évaluer les conséquences de la coopétition sur les processus organisationnels de connaissances. La recherche propose dans un premier temps une compréhension en profondeur des antécédents, dynamiques, et conséquences de la coopétition intra-organisationnelle.

However, despite growing literature examining inter-organizational coopetition, the research field has been little investigated in terms of the nature, dynamics and sustainability of the phenomenon within firms. This contrasts with the fact that, organizations have to cope with an increasing structural complexity as well as professional roles which are drastically changing over the years, requiring employees to acquire new types of knowledge, and to engage in new forms of relationships with other actors.The present thesis aims at operationalizing the phenomenon of intra-organizational coopetition, while a theoretically informed model is developed to assess coopetition outcomes on organizational knowledge processes. The study first offers an in-depth understanding of the drivers, dynamics and outcomes of intra-organizational coopetition. Involving an innovative real-time Delphi panel of experts in the field of coopetition, empirical insights expand and add new dimensions to the existing theoretical knowledge on intra-organizational coopetition. Delphi results provide a set of items relevant for the measure of several aspects underlying intra-firm coopetition. The model is then tested among companies operating the knowledge-intensive industry of software edition. Empirical data reveals that intra-firm coopetition leads to different outcomes at the intra- and inter-unit levels. Future research avenues, operational implications for managerial strategies and practices are discussed along with novel propositions directed at educational bodies

The best strategy is a winning strategy which should contradict the traditional thinking and be innovative. Drawing on the resource-based view and coopetition, this study tries to explore innovative strategies within traditional industries. Using the industry of wedding photography as an empirical case, this study examines why such a traditional industry need to be innovative. The results of this study indicate that firms in the industry of wedding photography could develop an innovative strategy by successfully turning their competitors into complementors. By doing so, the traditional wedding photography firms could enhance their efficiency on managing product, service, process, and human resource and then increase their economic performance.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>靜宜大學<br>企業管理研究所<br>90<br>In the past, concerning the theory studies and practical aspects of the strategy managements, they were always led mainly by the quintessence of competitions. The adoption of competition strategy reflected the competitive dominance that the company had pursued for, the advantageous position in the field of industry that the company was tend to occupy, and the business direction of this company was always guided by developing something that was difficult to copy that created a unique competitive power.
However, the competition strategy had over-emphasized the organization, the competitors and other personnel with conflict of interests, and as a result, the human relationship became a repetition game of competition and cooperation. Thus, the social relationship of organization was neglected, and therefore, there were doctrines to contend the cooperation strategy in order to compensate the deficiency of the competition strategy.
The competition and the cooperation had long been regarded as two extremenesses, there was absolutely no space for compatibility. Today, the strategies of competition and of cooperation are adopted jointly, and this is deemed the unexpendable condition for an enterprise to pursue its success.
Integrating the relevant documents, one finds that the relevant studies had all but started from the points of view respectively, either of cooperation or of competition, and only to proceed the research unilaterally, and little of these studies have discoursed on enterprises adopted jointly both the strategies of competition and of cooperation simultaneously. Additionally, it is known, also from these documents, the resources of the enterprises are not proportional, that will affect the forming of strategies, but the discourses of this relevant non-proportional condition are apparently not enough, therefore, this study cut in from the angle of resource non-proportion and from competition & cooperation strategies, in the expectation of compensating the deficiency of the studies by starting from either competition strategy or from cooperation strategy unilaterally.
As the design aspect of this study, for controlling the factors of the differences among various industries, this study has chosen the simulator industry as a main study object. At the mean time, this study has adopted the case study as its main study method, and used the social network analytical method as a backup, to analysis the relevant queries concerning the adoption of competition and of cooperation strategies and the degree of competition and of cooperation for this individual case to be studied in its relationship of competition and of cooperation.
As for the data collected for this study, in addition to those from the relevant reports on newspapers, magazines and subsidiary information from publicized brochures, the in-depth personnel interview has also been adopted, in order to obtain the primary information needed for this study. Of all the case data collected, after systematic induction, ordination and analysis, attained the following results:
I. In the Aspects of Theory:
This study has developed the following propositions:
1.The characteristics of an enterprise will affect the resource non-proportional condition among this enterprise and other suppliers.
2.Enterprises with different characteristics, the adoptions of competition or of cooperation strategies are also different.
3.The enterprises with resource dominance have the tendency to adopt competition strategy; whereas those enterprises with soft resource condition have the tendency to adopt cooperation strategy.
II. In the Aspects of Practice:
This study has derived via social network analysis concept, a measurement mode for the intensity of competition and of cooperation. This result will serve as a reference to enable the enterprises in making decisions on the adoption of either the competition or the cooperation.

碩士<br>元智大學<br>管理碩士在職專班<br>104<br>In this study, we concentrate on the competition as well as the cooperation of trade between China and the US. By means of adopting literature research and historical research, we explore the determinants of entering the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) among all the countries where China and the US play the major roles on the Economic and Trade. Also, we discuss the stability of ensuing economic developments and the wrestling of global energy resources between China and the US. Finally, we suggest that both countries should revolutionize the economic structures and monetary policies domestically. In addition, China and the US should put the stereotypes aside, work together and share the common interests so that they can lead all other countries from the economic recession to prosperity as bellwethers.

碩士<br>國立成功大學<br>交通管理科學系<br>102<br>In maritime freight transportation, because the leading carrier proposes the daily frequency operational model, small carriers cooperate with each other so that they can compete with the leading carrier and improve their service quality. While cooperating with others, these carriers simultaneously compete with cooperative carriers. In this scenario, a game of coopetition is formed. To systematically analyze this problem, we formulate a nonlinear mixed integer program to determine the optimal levels of coopetition for a single company and embed the resulting program into a general game theoretic framework. A diagonalization algorithm that incorporates an ascent direction searching technique is developed to evaluate the game effectively. The numerical results show that carriers choose similar coopetition levels to maximize their profit, and the coopetition game can reach equilibrium in general conditions. Furthermore, it is observed that the competition cost impacts the competition level and that the cooperation cost impacts both cooperation and competition levels

碩士<br>靜宜大學<br>管理碩士在職專班<br>98<br>Coopetition is a relationship between two firms that simultaneously involves both competition and cooperation. Companies that have traditionally been competitors are increasingly cooperating to achieve competitive advantage. Coopetition becoming more and more common strategy within highly competitive business environment.
There are multifaceted relationships between firms under coopetition, and the relationship is likely to be changed. However, the early studies have only limited in identifying the influence factor for firms’ relationship evolution.
This paper aims to identify the factors which influence the relationship evolution under coopetition strategy within Taiwan semi-conductor industry. Based on a literature review and expert interviews following the case study approach, this paper has identified that Heterogeneity Resources, Asymmetries in learning, and Benefit sharing will result relationship evolution under coopetition between firms.
The factors for interfirm coopetition relationship evolution could help the organization to understand the nature of the critical success factors so that they can exam their current situations of coopetition strategy and facilitate the formulation of action plans for better management.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>東海大學<br>高階經營管理碩士在職專班<br>106<br>Coopetition in the literature of inter-organizational relationships has been discussed as a base strategy to enhance competitiveness. This research investigates the impact of coopetition on joint action (joint purchasing raw material and joint land development) in the context of construction firms that are involving cooperation and competition.
This research discusses these questions through a review of the literature on coopetition and its application in inter-organizational relationships. The analysis is conducted in the construction industry, obtaining results through an empirical investigation. Our findings based on a sample of construction firms indicate that competition has a positive impact on joint purchasing raw material, that cooperation has a positive impact on joint land development, and that coopetition has a negative impact on joint land development. Finally, theoretical and managerial implications are discussed.
