Co-opetition, simultaneous co-operation and competition, is a recent phenomenon. Co-opetition entails sharing knowledge that may be a key source of competitive advantage. Yet, the knowledge gained by co- operation may also be used for competition. There is little investigation of how this problem may be modeled and, hence, managed. A game-theoretic framework for analysing inter-organisational knowledge sharing under co-opetition and guidelines for the management of explicit knowledge, predicated on co-ordination and control theory has been proposed, but remains untested. This research empirically investigates these issues in the context of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). SMEs provide an interesting setting as they are knowledge generators, but are poor at knowledge exploitation. The paper uses data from UK SMEs to investigate co-opetition, management of knowledge sharing and the role of IS. |
