Abstract

Most studies on coopetition strategy concentrate on the inter-organizational level. Lately, a growing literature has focused on coopetitive strategies within organizations, opening new windows for the study of the phenomenon. This article is part of this new context. The main objective is to design a research framework of the antecedents, dynamics, and outcomes of intra-organizational coopetition. We conducted qualitative and exploratory research, collecting evidence through a focus group with managers from a large educational institution. Our findings grouped categories of antecedents, dynamics, and outcomes into an intra-organizational coopetition framework, designed to support future research and management decisions. The findings also contribute to the advancement of the coopetition literature in the service sector, describing the interplay between cooperation and competition in the education industry. We hope that our findings will spark further research into intra-organizational coopetition strategies.

组织内竞争:合作与竞争相互作用的前因、动力与结果

大多数关于合作战略的研究都集中在组织间层面。最近，越来越多的文献关注组织内的合作策略，为研究这一现象打开了新的窗口。本文就是这一新背景的一部分。主要目标是设计一个组织内合作的前因、动态和结果的研究框架。我们进行了定性和探索性研究，通过与一家大型教育机构的管理人员进行焦点小组讨论，收集证据。我们的研究结果将前因、动态和结果分类到一个组织内合作框架中，旨在支持未来的研究和管理决策。研究结果也促进了服务业合作文献的发展，描述了教育行业合作与竞争之间的相互作用。我们希望我们的发现将激发对组织内部合作策略的进一步研究。

In the 21st century, overcoming such problems seem to be challenging to educators and practitioners. Do educators and practitioners agree on which management skills are required for success in the 21st century? These all issues call for substantial research to achieve a very modern sustainable business era of the global economy. IJBMS intends to focus on the business and management issues with the vision of sustainable competitiveness along with scientific evidences. The quantitative approach for analyzing a research problem is promoted by IJBMS.
