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

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.

“…Therefore, competitiveness requires competitors to achieve success in this sense. At the end of the competition process, there are always losers as well as winners (Simmons, King, Tucker & Wehner, 1986). Kohn (1986, p. 4), who deals with competition in two different ways, states that the first aspect of the competition is a competition in which there are losers or winners.…”

In this study, determining the prediction level of competitive attitudes of teachers' educational beliefs was aimed. For this purpose, The Teacher Competitiveness Scale was developed for teachers. In the process of developing the scale, exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were performed on two different samples. In the analysis, it was observed that the scale consists of 4 subdimensions called winning by competition, approval, superiority and exclusion and 16 items. As the second scale, The Educational Beliefs Scale consisting of 40 items and 5 dimensions was used. In the second sample, independent groups t test, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were performed. Analyses showed that male teachers had significantly higher scores compared with female teachers according to the competitiveness score. According to the institution type variable, it was determined that private school teachers had significantly higher scores than public school teachers compared to the competitiveness score. According to the linear regression that is done for determining the predicted level of teachers' competitiveness attitudes by educational beliefs, essentialism and perennialism determined positively their competitiveness attitudes; existential education belief predicts negatively and significantly.

“…And coopetition is often regarded as an immanent element of corporate growth strategy (Dagnino, 2009). There are also analyses of simultaneous streams of cooperation and competition at the internal organisational level, in particular in transnational corporations (Luo, 2005;Luo et al 2006;Slotegraaf and Tsai, 2002), individual people (Colley et al, 1985;Lu and Argyle, 1991;Simmons et al 2001;Ross et al 2003;Geraudel and Salvetat, 2014) and networks (Cygler 2010;Madhavan, 2006, 2001;Bengtsson and Kock, 2000).…”

Background and Goal:The article is aimed at conducting an empirical analysis of the value and significance of coopetitors' attributes thanks to which coopetition, which is a combination of cooperation and competition between competitors, generates a substantial corporate profit. Four major competitors' attributes have been analysed: its size, geographical scope, market and technological position. The research also includes the Porter's value chain. Design/ Methodology/Approach: The survey has been conducted on a sample of 235 high-tech companies operating in Poland and involved in coopetition. The sample is representative. The data have been collected at interviews with company top executives or owners. The research applies the method of classification trees, which, thanks to diagrams, sequentially divides the examined data space into classes (spaces) of similar properties. The assessment of the effect of coopetition, including its variants, made by the examined company served as a dependent qualitative variable. Four coopetitor's attributes and their variants were assumed as explanatory variables (predictors) affecting the assessment of cooperation. Results:The results of research indicated the necessity for an accurate competitor's profile selection. The significance of each of the four attributes may be different depending on the undertaken areas of cooperation with a competitor. The value of all the attributes of competitors is also diverse depending on the area of cooperation. A selected competitor's profile with regard to the four analysed attributes may become a stimulant to generate benefits in one area, while in another area it may become an inhibitor. Conclusions: So far, the selection of a coopetition partner has been treated universally, without scrutinizing on some specific needs in relation to the area of cooperation. The selection of an appropriate coopetitor's profile will allow for the cost reduction in search of appropriate candidates for cooperation and in relations management.
