“…The correspondence analysis belongs to the group of incomplete taxonomic methods. This method is widely used in studies related to collaboration and coopetition [123]. This technique, as well as multidimensional scaling and principal component analysis, leads to an increase in the transparency of data and simplifies the interpretation.…”

Benefits and Drawbacks of Coopetition: The Roles of Scope and Durability in Coopetitive Relationships

et al. 2018

Abstract:The growing importance of cooperative relationships may currently be observed throughout the world. The vast majority of such relationships take the form of coopetition, i.e., the simultaneous existence of cooperation and competition between competitors. Previous research on coopetition characterizes these relationships mostly in the context of the benefits achieved. Researchers emphasize a number of benefits resulting from coopetition, e.g., stimulation of innovations of partners, development of the technology, obtaining complementary resources, entering new markets, or creating new products. However, when deciding to begin coopetition, companies should not only consider the benefits, but also the drawbacks associated with such relationships. This is due to the fact that disadvantages are inherent features of coopetitive relationships between competitors. The relationship between the duration of cooperative relationships in particular areas and the benefits and costs associated with these relationships is scarcely researched. Using a sample of 210 companies operating in the high-tech sector in Poland, we aimed to cover this gap in the knowledge base and to analyze this aspect of coopetition. Several research methods including multidimensional correspondence analysis, correlation analysis of qualitative variables, a chi-square test, multi-table analysis, and association rules were applied. The results of our research showed that coopetition is a viable strategy which contributes to the sustainable development of firms. We also found that the duration of coopetitive relationships in different areas of company activity is related to different types of benefits to collaboration partners.

“…This result indicates that larger firms have better capabilities not only for collaborating more frequently with universities (Gallié & Roux, 2010;Levy et al, 2009) but also for coordinating with research groups that are more geographically distant. Such firms have a broader set of capabilities for searching for distant research groups and managing long-distance collaborations.…”

“…Although small firms may seek collaborations with universities, larger firms tend to seek such collaborations more often in order to obtain new information, enhance their professional recruitment, and facilitate the application of external knowledge in their innovation activities (Bishop et al, 2011). Indeed, most firms that collaborate in R&D with research institutes are large, as such firms can more easily manage and incur the costs of long-distance collaboration (Levy, Roux, & Wolff, 2009). By contrast, small and medium-sized firms tend to rely more on their local environment in research collaborations since collaborations over long distances tend to require a broad set of capabilities and incur substantial costs (Muscio, 2013).…”

This paper examines factors that affect the geographical distance of university-industry linkages by analysing specific characteristics of both sides of the collaborationfirms and universities. Previous studies have provided important evidence related to this issue; however, they have used data from either firms or universities. Therefore, this paper contributes to existing research on this issue by using information on both collaboration partners. For this purpose, data from the Directory of Research Groups in Brazil are used to estimate an empirical model. The main results indicate that firms with higher absorptive capacity and larger firms tend to collaborate with research groups that are more geographically distant. Further, on the university side, high-performance and larger research groups tend to attract firms that are more geographically distant as collaboration partners. Long-distance collaborations therefore usually occur when firms require high absorptive capacity and when they cannot find high-quality local universities.

“…It is broadly recognized that universities and industries are converging toward a hybrid arrangement where the differences between scholarly and commercial rationales are becoming indistinct (e.g., Levy, Roux, & Wolff, 2009). However, a limited number of firms utilize universities as a supplier of information and knowledge (Laursen & Salter, 2004;Welsh, Glenna, Lacy, & Biscotti, 2008).…”

Furthermore, the tendency to collaborate in research with universities differs across industries (Laursen & Salter, 2004;Levy et al, 2009). …”

University-Industry Knowledge Transfer: Channels of Sport Research Interaction

The reputation of academic programs is increasingly defined in terms of both the generation of high-quality research and the success in transferring scientific findings into commercial development. However, there is a lack of empirical evidence on the particular channels of research interaction between sport academia and sport companies. The purpose of this study was to assess, for the first time, the degree to which different channels of research interaction could be used to inform the research involvement levels of sport organizations with sport academia. Information was gathered from 292 sport managers working for United States sport companies. The results provide evidence that sport managers who collaborated with sport management academia are more concerned with working on joint research projects with sport management scholars and departments than with academic engagement in patenting and licenses, or involvement in networking, scholars' mobility, and publication research channels.
