“…As put by Thomson and Perry, (2006, p. 23) "most scholars would agree that cooperation and collaboration differ in terms of their depth of interaction, integration, commitment, and complexity, with cooperation falling at the low end of the continuum and collaboration at the high end." The process of collaboration is perceived as more complex and abstract than cooperation, while cooperation focuses more on specific desired outcomes and occurs as an early, integrated part of the collaboration process (Kusa et al, 2019; Miles et al, 2006). From a network perspective, both the process of collaboration as well as cooperation build on the underlying aspects of relationship‐building, trust, and knowledge‐sharing (Keane & Costin, 2019), regardless of the partnering entity.…”

This study examines the phenomenon of co-located industrial clusters with different industry cores in one region. A multi-method research design, including semi-structured qualitative interviews and a standardized survey, was chosen. The empirical results show different patterns of collaboration and competition: on the one hand, the hiring of employees, especially in the segment of (highly) skilled labor, is an important concern for firms facing a tight labor market of co-located clusters. Consequently, filling vacant positions is challenging for firms of both industrial clusters, which results in a competitive environment, including labor poaching. On the other hand, the linkages between firms are influenced by the institutional setting, such as changing regulatory environment, leading to more collaboration, even though an intense rivalry between participating firms has existed for decades.

“…Belonging to a consortium can give an organization various benefits, such as learning new skills or acquiring knowledge, gaining legitimacy and status, increasing economic and management performance (Podolny and Page, 2002), overcoming operational weaknesses and increasing the supply to customers (Kusa et al, 2019), among others.…”

Consortia are a form of association between organizations seeking to reach a common objective. This study aims to systematize discussion in the area of library consortia and relate it to aspects of information management. To this end, the Web of Science databases was used to identify the literature to be analysed, resorting to Bibliometrix software. The results show a tendency in the literature to discuss themes such as open access contract management. The study concludes on an evolution of themes setting out from shared resources and directs future research towards identifying questions of access to and ownership of information resources.

“…Additionally, organizations cooperate with others to overcome limitations of access to resources [24] and to enhance innovativeness [25]. Moreover, inter-organizational cooperation is positively correlated with entrepreneurial orientation, and it impacts firm performance as strongly as proactiveness [26]. Consequently, we assume that strengthening inter-organizational cooperation can significantly support the development of enterprises operating in the RES market as well as the overall RES market.…”

In the renewable energy source (RES) market, which is highly atomized, business events play an important role in supporting inter-organizational cooperation. The aim of this paper was to examine the impact of three characteristics of the events, namely, the location of the event, type of event (brokerage event versus company mission), and type of leading partner (public versus private), on the effectiveness of the business events (expressed by the number of meetings during an event and the number of partnerships initiated as a result of these meetings). We analyzed 304 promotional events organized in the European RES market. We employed basic statistical tests to verify our hypotheses. Our findings suggest that (1) the numbers of meetings and partnerships differ depending on the event’s location (country and region of Europe), (2) the type of the event (brokerage event versus company mission) affects the numbers of meetings and partnerships (in particular, during brokerage events (BEs), significantly more meetings take place than during company meetings (CMs)), and (3) the type of an event’s leading partner (public versus private) has no impact on the numbers of meetings and partnerships. With its findings, this paper contributes to RES market development and the theory of inter-organizational relations. It presents meaningful implications and recommendations for enterprises, business networks, and event managers operating in RES markets.
