Dong Chen,Li Dai,Donghong Li +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a U-shaped relationship between the presence of market competitors for a member firm and the firm's joint R&D output with other consortium members is examined, and the relationship is mediated by interactions with other members at the firm level and moderated by collaborative efforts at the consortium level.

Abstract: This study examines how competitive and cooperative relationships within R&D consortia influence member firms’ innovation output. We propose a U-shaped relationship between the presence of market competitors for a member firm and the firm's joint R&D output with other consortium members, and examine how the relationship is mediated by interactions with other members at the firm level and moderated by collaborative efforts at the consortium level. Using a unique sample of 320 firms from 52 R&D consortia in China, we find support for our predictions. This multi-level study extends our understanding of competition and cooperation in multi-party networks and provides insights for creating a balance between the two forces that is conducive to innovation.

Competition for competence and interpartner learning within international strategic alliances
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed analysis of nine international alliances yielded a fine-grained understanding of the determinants of interpartner learning, concluding that not all partners are equally adept at learning, that asymmetries in learning alter the relative bargaining power of partners, stability and longevity may be inappropriate metrics of partnership success, and partners may have competitive, as well as collaborative aims, vis-a-vis each other.
