Coopetition among competitors in global industries: drivers that lead to coopetitive agreements

What is it about?

Cooperation among competitors, namely coopetition, is a growing strategic guideline in many global industries affected by technological innovation. By using an event history analysis, we develop a framework on firm, inter-firm, and industry level drivers on the likelihood of each competitor in the industry entering into coopetitive agreements in global competitive contexts. Empirical data are analysed in five global industries: car industry, telecommunication industry, air transportation industry, bank industry, and computer programming services industry. Promising results offer an explanation of a new competitive approach experienced by firms in turbulent global environments.
