Multifaceted Relationships Under Coopetition Description and Theory
TLDR
In this paper, a growing form of interorganizational "multifaceted" relationship under "coopetition", where a buyer, supplier, and/or partner is also a competitor, is examined.Abstract:
This article examines a growing form of interorganizational "multifaceted" relationship under "coopetition," where a buyer, supplier, and/or partner is also a competitor. We first describe different types of such relationships and the strategic dilemmas they present. Then, using resource dependence and transaction cost theories, we consider the antecedent conditions for the formation of such relationships and discuss strategies for dealing with them. Finally, we consider questions for further study of these types of arrangements.read more

Untangling the Rise of Coopetition: The Intrusion of Competition in a Cooperative Game Structure
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose the notion of cooperation as a truly co-competitive game, where firms interact among each other on the basis of a partially convergent interest structure, and develop a series of propositions linking the rise of co-competition to a set of environment-related and firm-related factors in order to explain the drivers of the intrusion of competitive issues within a cooperative game structure.
