About the Book
This innovative book portrays the state-of-the-art of coopetition
strategy regarded as a compelling mindset to exploit entirely the
potential of actors interdependencies (firms, governments, suppliers,
customers, scientists and partners) in todays global scenarios. It
provides the rudiments for navigating an exploration journey into a
virtually new and emergent management subfield.
This volume presents three key distinctive features:
it is the first attempt that delves systematically and rigorously
into coopetition strategy and coopetitive behaviour;
it clearly elucidates the contribution of coopetition to the
advancement of strategic management and managerial practice;
it is the outcome of the collective brains of several scholars, with
diverse geographical roots and backgrounds, who cultivate original
research on co-opetition strategy from a variety of perspectives
(economic, managerial, political) and multiple methods (theory
building, game-theoretical, experimental and inductive case-based
inquiries).
Looking into this volume, the reader will realize that, while the
topic is at the beginning of its lifecycle, coopetition strategy has
touched an important crossroads which solicits a more comprehensive
and systematic assessment. If mindfully formulated and implemented,
this hybrid strategic option is able to increase returns and generate
value for shareholders, entrepreneurs, managers and coopetitors.
Reviews
"The confluence between competitive advantage and collaborative
advantage in the world of international business has been ongoing but
the empirical work to support this type of strategic decision has been
fragmented. This exceptional volume provides an up to date
collection of research papers addressing this issues and sparking the
development of the coopetition strategy area. Strategy academics,
consultants, practitioners will find this volume useful in their
research, advice and action." Dr Rehan ul-Haq, strategy and alliances
academic and consultant, Birmingham Business School, University of
Birmingham.
