Interfirm relationships have become an important means to cope with
ever-intensifying business dynamics and higher uncertainties. In this
context, "coopetition" has been gaining momentum. Coopetition is a
combination of collaboration and competition taking place in the context of
a relationship, a business strategy or a business model, in which firms
compete and cooperate with each other at the same time. Therefore, it is
clear that collaboration and competition are not mutually exclusive, but
actually often coexist and even create benefits from their joint dynamics.
In this special issue, we call for papers on the field of "Coopetition and
Innovation", seeking both empirical (qualitative and quantitative) and
theoretical/conceptual papers.
