Dear colleagues,
This is a reminder that Strategic Management Journal is organizing a special issue on the interplay of competition and cooperation. The deadline for submissions is November 2, 2015. This means that even if you don't have a ready paper for that special issue now, you have enough time to start a new research project!
This special issue seeks to promote research on the interplay of competition and cooperation among
firms. It encourages papers that connect the separate streams of research on competitive strategy and
cooperative strategy, highlight value creation and appropriation in coopetitive interactions, and
combine inter- and intra-organizational levels of analysis. This special issue also encourages papers that
shed light on the coevolution of competition and cooperation, while analysing their consequences or
identifying antecedents and mechanisms that drive their interplay.
Submitted papers should encompass both elements of competition and cooperation. Studying the
interplay of competition and cooperation may entail considering how cooperation drives competition
or vice-versa. Alternatively, submissions may examine how competition and cooperation jointly drive
organizational outcomes. We further encourage papers that underscore the trade-offs and tension
between competition and cooperation. We welcome both conceptual and empirical papers reporting
either quantitative or qualitative methods that rely on archival data analysis, surveys, case studies, or
experiments, with special interest in longitudinal data, cross-disciplinary research, and multilevel
approaches
