| description | Purpose: The impact of the observed multidimensional pressures and managerial tensions has increased
the necessity to rethink the sources of competitive advantage, giving the ground for developing open
and collaborative streams of research. This paper addresses this necessity by blending the lenses of
open strategizing with coopetition phenomena in order to understand the convergence between those
two relational approaches to strategy formulation.
Design/methodology/approach: It is a conceptual paper in which we recognize the compatibility and
common roots of coopetition and open strategy. These we recognized through using seven managerial
paradoxes.
Findings: We explore seven strategic dilemmas that emerged from the overlapping contexts of those
two – individually paradoxical – approaches. We identify several research avenues and specific research
questions accompanying them.
Research limitations/implications: The research questions asked at the end of theorization that we see as
relevant can provide the ground for further research by scholars interested in strengthening the theoretical
foundations of either coopetition or open strategy, but also in these two concepts simultaneously. As
a conceptual article, this paper is prone to researchers’ subjectivity bias.
Originality/value: This is the first study where the perspective of blending open strategy and coopetition
is applied. |
