Reviews

Contemporary markets are increasingly complex and dynamic. Diverse business contexts have become closer, and are increasingly influenced by socio-economic and technological factors. Firms nowadays build alliances even with competing players to ensure entrepreneurial survival and growth. This publication aims to investigate, compare, and contrast the theoretical and practical elements of business concepts and models that are acclimated to the dynamic changes of our modern era. Furthermore, it describes and analyzes the current cooperative interactions among firms, and evaluates the contribution of knowledge dynamics in coopetition.

Organizational performance is one of the major elements required in contemporary markets, and the necessity to promote initiatives for innovation in new technological investments creates the foundations for growth, enabling businesses to explore opportunities in the global context. This book aims to explore and utilize the existing academic knowledge, and to contribute to the topic of coopetition within and across firms for entrepreneurial growth. It is a culmination of recent global circumstances and credible academic theories, focusing on analyzing, evaluating and interpreting the modern status-quo in the international business environment.

Through 24 chapters, researchers working in various business fields around the world consider theoretical and practical elements of business concepts and models involved in international business and the cooperative interactions among businesses in conjunction with competition. They explore the value of “coopetition” in entrepreneurial internationalization and business development, the process of knowledge flows, and organizational sustainability for coopetitive entrepreneurship. They address innovation and entrepreneurship, knowledge management and learning, organizational sustainability and growth, politics and regulation, and economic, technological, and social development. They examine whether innovation is different across sectors and disciplines, to discover emerging patterns, factors, triggers, catalysts, and accelerators to innovation and their impact on research, practice, and policy. They discuss the concept of coopetition, the coexistence of both collaborative and competitive forces in interorganizational settings, and a new way of thinking for accelerating the innovation process and generating greater value; the temporal dimension of multinational enterprises; entrepreneurial initiatives and the basic traits of knowledge management in business development; the role of transformational leadership, technicality and entrepreneurship, and innovativeness in going international; knowledge-based entrepreneurship formation; the internationalization process of Internet of Things firms; and coopetitive aspects of international brand licensing. Further chapters cover knowledge flows and dynamics for organizational performance and coopetitive entrepreneurship through innovative and technological strategies, including intangible assets, specific knowledge and knowledge-related assets, interface features, establishing a startup, mobile phone innovation, and digital food hubs as disruptive business models, and a framework involving the World Trade Organization, sustainability, and green growth.
