Competition or coopetition: Should firms supply key components to their market rival?<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In many industries, firms purchase components or raw materials from upstream suppliers while competing with these same suppliers in the downstream market. For instance, despite patent battles and lawsuits between the primary rivalry in the smartphone market, Apple and Samsung recently announced that they will collaborate on future projects; Samsung will supply chips and displays for the upcoming Apple products. This study examines the strategic choices between competition and coopetition for two rival manufacturers. A complex relationship exists between these two firms (e.g., Apple vs. Samsung) who manufacture substitutive products. In addition, these firms have an option to purchase (or sell) a key component from (or to) each other. By comparing the equilibriums of the competition model and two proposed coopetition models, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental principles that govern coopetitive relations between competing firms. This exploration enables us to derive the structured optimal solutions for the firms and enhances our understanding of the nature of coopetitive behaviour. Our study provides important managerial implications that can be utilized as a strategic guidance for firms to pursue coopetition strategy in various business environments.<\/p>\n
