Chiambaretto Paul - The Routledge companion to coopetition strategies

The Routledge Companion to Coopetition Strategies

As more and more strategic alliances are forged between competitors, a dedicated word has been coined to described this strategy: coopetition. Coopetition strategy research began in the early 1990s and has been steadily increasing; yet, a global overview of the field has been lacking.

This reference volume is the first to provide a comprehensive international survey of coopetition research. Organized thematically and written by the worlds most-cited researchers in the field, it views the topic through the lens of a variety of disciplines including innovation, strategic management, operations management, and marketing.

This reference book is the definitive resource for researchers looking to understand the field of coopetition throughout business and management.

Coopetition has emerged as a word, as a business practice, and as a field of academic research in recent years. Yet, much ambiguity and misunderstanding about the definition and implications of coopetition remain. The Routledge Companion to Coopetition Strategies put together by Anne-Sophie Fernandez, Paul Chiambaretto, Frdric Le Roy, and Wojciech Czakon, who are among the first academics to have extensively investigated coopetition, is a clear, comprehensive, and much-needed contribution to the understanding of this new phenomenon.

A book on coopetition has been much needed given the prevalence of this phenomenon and a growing body of research studying it. Fernandez and colleagues are expert guides in the coopetition safari helping the reader to understand the paradoxes of coopetition, comprehend what extant research has already been done, and discover exciting new research opportunities. The book is very well written and easy to read. I strongly recommend this book not only for seasoned scholars doing research on coopetition or PhD students getting inspired to study this research area, but also for faculty teaching strategic management, entrepreneurship, and marketing to graduate and undergraduate students.

Fernandez, Chiambaretto, Le Roy, and Czakon invite us all on a safari into the wilds of coopetition research. With 37 thoughtful essays on multiple different aspects of coopetition, The Routledge Companion to Coopetition Strategies is a valuable resource for both academics and thoughtful practitioners on how to better understand and manage the inherent paradoxical tensions associated with simultaneous competition and collaboration.
