Abstract

Firms rely on coopetition strategies (i.e., alliances with competitors), which combine cooperative and competitive behaviors to yield higher innovation outcomes. To allow for these combinations, seminal research on coopetition has considered competition and cooperation independent dimensions. However, recent contributions have suggested that they are interdependent constructs that can be either positively (balance view) or negatively (tension view) related. We claim that these two views are complementary, and that the degree of competition has an inverted U-shaped relationship (i.e., both positive and negative) with the degree of cooperation. Distinguishing between “current competition” and “proximity of future competition” and based on a sample of 180 coopetitive projects involving innovation and R&D in the biopharma industry, we show how current competition and the proximity of future competition impact the degree of cooperation in coopetitive projects. Specifically, we demonstrate the role of the proximity of future competition in directly reducing the degree of cooperation and moderating the impact of current competition on cooperation.

解除当前和未来竞争对创新合作项目中合作的影响
企业依靠合作竞争战略(即与竞争对手结盟),将合作行为与竞争行为结合起来,以获得更高的创新成果。为了考虑到这些组合,关于合作竞争的开创性研究认为竞争与合作是独立的两个维度。然而,最近的研究表明,竞争与合作是相互依存的,可以是正相关(平衡观点),也可以是负相关(紧张观点)。我们认为,这两种观点是互补的,竞争程度与合作程度呈倒 U 型关系(即正负关系)。我们区分了 "当前竞争 "和 "未来竞争接近度",并以生物制药行业中涉及创新和研发的 180 个合作项目为样本,说明了当前竞争和未来竞争接近度如何影响合作项目中的合作程度。具体来说,我们证明了未来竞争的临近程度在直接降低合作程度和调节当前竞争对合作的影响方面所起的作用。

期刊介绍: Research Policy (RP) articles explore the interaction between innovation, technology, or research, and economic, social, political, and organizational processes, both empirically and theoretically. All RP papers are expected to provide insights with implications for policy or management. Research Policy (RP) is a multidisciplinary journal focused on analyzing, understanding, and effectively addressing the challenges posed by innovation, technology, R&D, and science. This includes activities related to knowledge creation, diffusion, acquisition, and exploitation in the form of new or improved products, processes, or services, across economic, policy, management, organizational, and environmental dimensions.
