“…Only a few studies (Gurnani et al 2007;Bakshi and Kleindorfer 2009;Carfì and Schiliro et al 2012;Luo et al 2016) have applied game theory to coopetitive decision problems. As acknowledged by Brandenburger and Nalebuff (1996), there is significant potential benefit in investigating how game theory can be used to explore coopetition in complicated and realistic situations, especially the relationship between the incentives and the levels of competition, cooperation, and coopetition in interfirm relationships.…”

This research explores rival firms' optimal strategies when engaging in market competition. We assume that customer demand is subject to customer sensitivity to the competitors' price and service levels. First, we develop coopetition models under a symmetric case where there is identical serviceinvestment efficiency between two firms. We then extend our analysis to an asymmetric case in which the two firms have different service-investment efficiencies. Our results show that the optimal strategic decisions regarding whether to compete or cooperate and how to cooperate depend on the intensity of the market competition in which the firms are engaged. The results also indicate that coopetition changes the dynamics of the competition and cooperation between the rival firms. More specifically, on the one hand, coopetition eases competition intensity in the cooperating area, for example, price or service; on the other hand, it increases competition intensity in the non-cooperating area. Decision frameworks are proposed that enable firms to make optimal strategic decisions on coopetition under various market conditions.

“…Consequently, it is necessary to avoid the irreversible negative effects of climate change, but also to preserve the environment and guarantee sustainability. The policy solution is to move toward a green economy and low-carbon world, through the creation and diffusion of low-carbon technologies, as highlighted in Carfì and Schilirò (2012a). Limiting at the global level the amount of carbon that gets into the earth's atmosphere is critical to keeping climate change within acceptable boundaries.…”

Sustainability has become the emerging goal for countries, companies, and people. Sustainability usually refers to the need to develop models necessary for both human beings and our planet to survive. However, sustainability is not a short-term problem; it is above all a long-term issue, posing intergenerational equity problems. Moreover, sustainability needs efficiency. The efficient use of energy, natural, material, and informational resources is vital for sustainability and sustainable development, which should be the major goal of every country, as established in Rio in 1992, and reaffirmed at Rio+ 20 in 2012. But any strategy aiming at sustainability and efficient use of resources must focus on innovation and technological progress. Consequently, innovation is fundamental to making sustainability possible and improving efficiency. Yet, innovation for sustainability must be environmentally friendly (e.g., green technologies). The principle behind such a strategy is better instead of more. This paper aims at highlighting the key relationship among sustainability, innovation, and efficiency. First, it examines the concept of sustainability, looking at the neoclassical literature on sustainability and its relationship with innovation. Then, it analyzes different theoretical approaches and discusses the policy issues for sustainability where innovation, natural capital, human capital, population, and institutions are fundamental factors. JEL Classification: Q32; Q38; Q50; Q55; Q56 1 The Brundtland Report (World Commission on Environment and Development 1987) follows an all-encompassing approach in which economic, social, and environmental objectives are placed on the same logical level. However, an increasingly common criticism of this approach is that it does not take sufficient account of the limits imposed by the ecosystem. In fact, in the Brundtland Report (and this is perhaps the key to its success) the natural environment does not constitute a limit for economic growth, while synergies are emphasized.
