Impact of Co-Opetition on Firm Competitive Behavior: An Empirical Examination
研究了竞合网络中企业的不同结构位置如何影响其竞争行为的数量和多样性，发现中心性正向影响竞争行为数量，结构自主性正向影响多样性，且市场多样性调节这些关系。
The authors examine how co-opetition—simultaneous cooperation and competition—affects firms'competitive behavior, proposing that differential structural positions among firms in a coopetitive network reflect resource asymmetries among them and that such asymmetries lead to differences in the volume and diversity of competitive actions undertaken by those firms. Data on cooperative network structure and competitive actions from the steel industry suggest that the firm's centrality is positively related to its volume of competitive actions and that its structural autonomy is positively related to the diversity of such actions. Moreover, market diversity moderates the impact of centrality and structural autonomy on competitive behavior.
