“…The frequency of use is primarily interesting since most of the offers are related to sporting and educational facilities. Moreover, coopetition has rarely been studied on a collective level but rather on an individual level [82]. Hence, one could interpret the LCT as an enhanced and collaborating platform which offers added value for their end consumers [35,50,51] in the context of an affordable and comprehensive access to the mentioned facilities.…”

Analyzing the Coopetition between Tourism and Leisure Suppliers—A Case Study of the Leisure Card Tirol

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Even though coopetition in the context of tourism is not new, research lacks concrete examples within the leisure business and about its effects on local communities. Hence, this study investigates a super-regional alliance of tourism and leisure suppliers as well as its effects on the community in the region of Tyrol, Austria. In the framework of 60 guided interviews, all organizations engaged in the Leisure Card Tirol (LCT) were contacted and questioned. The analysis of the qualitative data shows the motives for joining the alliance are either economic or non-economic in nature, and thus the alliance is evaluated differently by the various suppliers. Several corporations including swimming pools, ice skating rinks, museums, a football stadium (limited access), and mountain railway companies attract more locals to consume leisure (a partly merit good) due to their membership in the LCT alliance. However, the suppliers' heterogeneity in respect of their management (governmental, private, and mixed forms) is suggested to be the reason behind the LCT's financial survival. In summary, intentional coopetition in the context of a super-regional year-around pass may be a sustainable model of increasing a local community's welfare by providing affordable leisure activities, although some minor and major issues on the part of the suppliers might occur.

“…In the game theory, coopetition is a positive-sum game which simply means it is a win-win solution. In this light, coopetition is a strategy of joint creation of value and competition in its division, in conditions of partial convergence of interests or goals and a variable structure of the game with a positive (non-zero) sum, the result of which is positive but variable because cooperative behavior is accompanied by confrontational attitude and it is difficult to determine ex-ante to what extent partners will profit from cooperation [7]. Coopetition is a two-sided and paradoxical relation that appears between cooperating companies in some part of their business, while at the same time these organizations can compete in another field to achieve better results, both individual and joint [8].…”

“…It can be seen that the benefits resulting from both competing and cooperation relationships [1] with which companies supplement their activities are increasingly sought after. Jointly created value is often the result of cooperation of many participants in the value chain [7] including competitors, moreover, it would be impossible to achieve by the parties involved alone.…”

As a result of the gas market liberalization, new business models are emerging and one that brings positive effects to market players is purchasing group functioning. This paper adopts the approach of gas market review and provides a synthesis of its functioning in Poland. The review focuses first on the frameworks of the process of gas market liberalization. Next, the author presents gas market structure and lists and comments on its components. Then, the main characteristics of the market are discussed. The author presents a case study of the Metropolitan Gas Purchasing Group—the largest gas purchasing group in Poland with the volume reaching almost 225 GWh of purchased gas. As a result, the author highlights the effects of this coopetitive strategy which reached a value of PLN 3,000,000.

“…In practice, the realization of additional benefits is associated with the coopetitive interaction of players. Coopetition is a deliberate strategy of mixing cooperation and competition [7] at different stages and arenas in order to achieve better individual and collective results [8]. The term coopetition has been present in strategy literature for many years now, allowing for several threads of research to exploit or investigate it.…”

Coopetitive Nature of Energy Communities—The Energy Transition Context

et al. 2021

The decentralization of the large-scale energy sector, its replacement with pro-ecological, dispersed production sources and building a citizen dimension of the energy sector are the directional objectives of the energy transformation in the European Union. Building energy self-sufficiency at a local level is possible, based on the so-called Energy Communities, which include energy clusters and energy cooperatives. Several dozen pilot projects for energy clusters have been implemented in Poland, while energy cooperatives, despite being legally sanctioned and potentially a simpler formula of operation, have not functioned in practice. This article presents the coopetitive nature of Energy Communities. The authors analysed the principles and benefits of creating Energy Communities from a regulatory and practical side. An important element of the analysis is to indicate the managerial, coopetitive nature of the strategies implemented within the Energy Communities. Their members, while operating in a competitive environment, simultaneously cooperate to achieve common benefits. On the basis of the actual data of recipients and producers, the results of simulations of benefits in the economic dimension will be presented, proving the thesis of the legitimacy of creating coopetitive structures of Energy Communities.
