“…Companies choose coopetitive relationships (hybrid) as a response to the generation of additional transaction costs resulting from market imperfections [37,38] and hierarchic structures [39,40]. Coopetition belongs to the hybrid forms that are mostly affected by transaction costs.…”

Abstract:The growing importance of cooperative relationships may currently be observed throughout the world. The vast majority of such relationships take the form of coopetition, i.e., the simultaneous existence of cooperation and competition between competitors. Previous research on coopetition characterizes these relationships mostly in the context of the benefits achieved. Researchers emphasize a number of benefits resulting from coopetition, e.g., stimulation of innovations of partners, development of the technology, obtaining complementary resources, entering new markets, or creating new products. However, when deciding to begin coopetition, companies should not only consider the benefits, but also the drawbacks associated with such relationships. This is due to the fact that disadvantages are inherent features of coopetitive relationships between competitors. The relationship between the duration of cooperative relationships in particular areas and the benefits and costs associated with these relationships is scarcely researched. Using a sample of 210 companies operating in the high-tech sector in Poland, we aimed to cover this gap in the knowledge base and to analyze this aspect of coopetition. Several research methods including multidimensional correspondence analysis, correlation analysis of qualitative variables, a chi-square test, multi-table analysis, and association rules were applied. The results of our research showed that coopetition is a viable strategy which contributes to the sustainable development of firms. We also found that the duration of coopetitive relationships in different areas of company activity is related to different types of benefits to collaboration partners.

“…Ritala and Hurmelinna-Laukkanen 2009), research has been somewhat ambiguous about the effect of coopetition on innovative outcomes Ritala 2012). Quintana-Garcia and Benavides-Velasco (2004) demonstrated that coopetition, along with other relationships, has a positive impact on innovation, whereas other studies found no significant increase in innovation performance, or even negative effects of coopetition on innovation (Mention 2011). Coopetition can, however, also involve higher risks than non-competitive collaborations (Cassiman et al 2009;Nieto and Santamaría 2007).…”

“…Although many empirical studies of coopetition for innovation are conducted in an international context (Gnyawali and Park 2011;Park et al 2014;Quintana-Garcia and Benavides-Velasco 2004;Yami and Nemeh 2014), few studies explore the link between international coopetition and innovation. The assumed importance of international coopetition can both be explained by the advantages obtained by coopetition (discussed above) and by advantages of international alliances.…”

International coopetition for innovation: Are the benefits worth the challenges?

International coopetition has rarely been studied in relation to innovation. Further exploration of effects of international coopetition, i.e. the pursuit of simultaneous cooperation and competition, on a firm's innovation performance is especially important as such a relationship is challenging with a high propensity to fail. This observation formed the point of departure for this study, which aims to increase the understanding of the effects of international coopetition on firm innovativeness and how these effects are conditioned on the magnitude of the organizational adjustments a firm introduces. We use an unbalanced panel of 9839 firms that participated in four waves of the Swedish Community Innovation Survey between 2008 and 2014 as our empirical base. We illustrate that firms that cooperate with competitors internationally are more likely to exhibit higher propensity to introduce radical innovations, yet this effect is conditioned upon the magnitude of organizational adjustments. Overall, our study contributes to the understanding of the implications of international coopetition and what a firm needs to benefit from it.

“…It is a sustainable strategic choice to form such strategic alliance among enterprises (Cristina et al, 2004) in which enterprises are able to learn knowledge, organizational learning ability and so on from their rivals and enjoy some positive things brought about by their cooperation, such as maximized capital, R &D ability, improved knowledge and expanded market (Jorde & Teece, 1989). Besides, Beamish (1998Beamish ( , 1996 and Kougt (1958), noticing and studying the stability of strategic alliance, emphasize re-examining current and future strategic alliances.…”

The characteristics of enterprises' strategic alliances definitely lead to their complexity and instability while relative stability serves as a premise and necessity for success. Starting from strategic alliances, this paper studies competition-oriented strategic alliance, a special alliance involving both competition and cooperation. Profound analysis is conducted inside and outside such an alliance on influential factors related to its stability.
