“…Part b: In the proof below, we need to show that a polynomial, f(Δc, θ), is positive within the region 0 < Δc < UB(θ) and 0 ⩽ θ < 1 (cf Figure 1 for a visual presentation of the domain). We use the methodology proposed by Pun and Ghamat (2014) to solve this problem.…”

We consider the outsourcing strategy problem of two competing original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) whose products are each made up of two components. The OEMs have different specializations, and therefore the component that each firm can produce in-house is different. Each firm must decide whether to outsource the other component to the competing OEM or to a third-party supplier. Prior research has demonstrated that competitors can be better off cooperating as supply-chain partners; therefore, one might expect that, as long as the OEMs are not at a severe cost disadvantage, they should maximize their cooperation as supply-chain partners, especially when competition between products is strong. Interestingly, this study finds that more cooperation between competitors may actually be harmful. Under certain conditions, while one of the OEMs should outsource to the competing firm, the other should outsource to a third-party supplier, even when the third-party supplier is more expensive and the competition is intense.

“…The M-S collaborative mode has been increasingly popular in the applications of various kinds of supply chain areas, including the textile and clothing industry [23], environmental sustainability [24,25], and integration of raw materials [26], attracting increasing researches on it. Most of the literatures focus on the application of the R&D process of the complex product.…”

This paper analyzes a problem processing mechanism in a new collaboration system between the main manufacturer and the supplier in the "main manufacturer-supplier" mode, which has been widely applied in the collaborative development management of the complex product. This paper adopts the collaboration theory, the evolutionary game theory and numerical simulation to analyze the decision-making mechanism where one upstream supplier and one downstream manufacturer must process an unpredicted problem without any advance contract in common. Results show that both players ' decision-makings are in some correlation with the initial state, income impact coefficients, and dealing cost. It is worth noting that only the initial state influences the final decision, while income impact coefficients and dealing cost just influence the decision process. This paper shows reasonable and practical suggestions for the manufacturer and supplier in a new collaboration system for the first time and is dedicated to the managerial implications on reducing risks of processing problems.

“…The practical importance of R&D alliances has resulted in a bunch of research papers about the topic. Researchers studied, for instance, the motives to start an alliance (Pun and Ghamat 2016;Sambasivan et al 2013;Taylor 2005), the kind of partners that has to be selected for the alliance (similar, or dissimilar to the firm in terms of technological background) (Makri, Hitt, and Lane 2010), the organisation of the alliance (Gulati and Singh 1998;Sampson 2007), and whether alliance capabilities can be learned (Heimeriks and Duysters 2007;Sampson 2005). It is beyond the aim of this study to summarise all R&D alliance literature.…”

Knowledge sharing in inter-organisational teams: the role of the advice network and the substitutive role of the formal network in an R&D alliance

Innovation is about individuals collaborating to share existing knowledge and create new knowledge. Increasingly these collaborations cross organisational boundaries, like in R&D alliances. Many of these alliances are coopetitive, partners cooperate, but also compete with each other. Although knowledge sharing in coopetitive settings has been studied on the firm and the unit level, the micro (individual) level is underresearched. We consider individual alliance-related work performance of alliance members in a (moderately) coopetitive R&D alliance, drawing on social network theory and the organisational coordination perspective. We examine the influence of individual alliance members' position and level of activity in the alliance advice network on their work performance. We also examine the substitutive role of the alliance formal network, representing the official channels of knowledge sharing. We suggest that individuals' work performance is better explained by their position in the formal network, rather than in the advice network.
