Should we be more critical and nuanced when it comes to the metaphorical, notional and representational worlds that define innovation ecosystem? Through a deconstruction of two important ecosystem metaphor, we reveal a pronounced disaccord between the normative charge of respective notions on...

While there is a fast-growing number of studies on FinTech, the relationships between technology companies and banks have received only limited attention in the research literature. Most of the studies on FinTech-bank interactions conducted so far address the questions: why banks collaborate...

Lending institutions’ reluctance to lend to MSMEs or to offer them competitive interest rates stems from the relatively costly information acquisition for small loans. The central idea is to bridge the information gap between the demand and the supply side by creating a credit analytics...

Increased competitiveness with other transport systems and declining operation margins have motivated freight forwarders in the air cargo transport industry to look into horizontal collaboration. This paper focuses on developing a fully integrated five-phase auction-based coopetition model, a...

The business model concept and the concept of coopetition have been the focus of substantial attention for the past twenty years. However, current research is still short on explaining how both concepts relate to each other. This paper provides a first integration of the two concepts by trying...

Telecommunication sector faces to parallel investments into both fiber and 5G, however due to monetization challenges, return on investments often lag behind normal profit expectations. Co-investment, like mobile network sharing can promote cost efficiency, however cooperation raises regulatory...

We examined how entrepreneurial support, resource securement, and coopetition affect the performance of SMEs in the turbulent context of an emerging economy. Data collected from a survey of SMEs in Bolivia generated an unusual finding: the often called for coopetition strategy has no significant...

We study competition between an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and its contract manufacturer (CM). The CM manufactures a product for the OEM and sells it to the OEM. Contract terms are determined through Nash bargaining. The CM also manufactures its own product and both products are sold...

The objective of the research is to understand how the use of game theory situations can be useful in facilitating behavioural change in the development process. The context is to engage the coopetition of souvenir retailers in the implementation of an inclusive tourism project, in a remote and...

In a highly competitive environment, the phenomenon of coopetition is emerging rapidly among various firms as well as markets which is significant to enhance firm's open innovation performance (FOIP). However, Malaysian High-Tech SMEs are unable to develop a well-managed coopetition mechanism...

Deployment of 5G networks is often described as a disruptive phenomena. Specifically 5G should enable new emerging Internet of Things (IoT) applications. However, such applications require new regulation and business models to incentivize costly infrastructure investments. Currently, no clear...

Background: Coopetition is a powerful means by which microenterprises can compete against large firms in low margin sectors, such as the small retail outlets in South African townships, known locally as spaza shops. Although coopetition is widely used by foreign nationals who own and manage such...

Purpose – This conceptual paper uses the resource-based theory (RBT) of the firm to argue that for competitors to improve their innovation through a cooperative relationship – coopetitive relationship – they need to work on building a stable relationship with each other by investing a...

We examine whether firms’ co-opetition (i.e., simultaneously competitive and cooperative) behaviors in standard-setting organizations (SSOs) affect their public R&D disclosure. We find that relative to matched control firms, firms that participate in SSOs increase their narrative R&D...
