The Interpretive Nat ure of Coopetition: From CEO Temporal Cognition to Investor Evaluatio n

Collaborating with Competitors Pays Off, but No t Always

Circumstances also play an important role. In stable times, collabor ation with competitors is associated with stronger growth in the valu ation of innovation. During the COVID-19 crisis, that benefit was muc h smaller. Investors therefore seem to assess such collaborations dif ferently in uncertain times.

Luo’s research shows that compan ies must not only carefully consider the extent of their collaboratio n with competitors but also how they explain the purpose and risks of such collaborations to investors. This is particularly relevant now that companies are increasingly relying on collaboration - including with parties with whom they also compete- to tackle major innovation challenges.

DESCRIPTION: The Interpretive Nature of Coopetition: From CEO Temporal Cognition to Investor Evaluation

Collaborating with Comp etitors Pays Off, but Not Always

Collaborating with comp etitors can help companies share knowledge, reduce innovation risks, and develop new products or technologies. However, research by organi zational scientist Xiya Luo shows that more collaboration isn’t aut omatically better. Investors respond most positively when collaborati ons with competitors make up a moderate portion of a company’s tota l partnerships.Circumstances also play an important role. In stable t imes, collaboration with competitors is associated with stronger grow th in the valuation of innovation. During the COVID-19 crisis, that b enefit was much smaller. Investors therefore seem to assess such coll aborations differently in uncertain times.Luo’s research shows that companies must not only carefully consider the extent of their colla boration with competitors but also how they explain the purpose and r isks of such collaborations to investors. This is particularly releva nt now that companies are increasingly relying on collaboration - inc luding with parties with whom they also compete- to tackle major inno vation challenges.More information about the dissertation .
