Factors that drive Coopetition and exploration of potential Supply-Based Drivers to Coopetition

Although coopetition has received more and more attention over the past couple of years, researchers have given little attention to coopetition for supply. In practice a lot of companies coopete for supply, but in literature this practice has been neglected almost completely. This study aims to provide an overview of the current knowledge about drivers for coopetitive relationships and expands this knowledge with the data of two case studies involved in coopetitive relationships for supply purposes. The overview of drivers for coopetitive relationships in the field of Supply Management provides managers with an idea of occurrences that can be tackled by involvement in coopetitive relationships.
