Coopetition or Co-opetition (sometimes spelled "coopertition" or "co-opertition") is a neologism coined to describe cooperative competition. Coopetition is a portmanteau of cooperation and competition, emphasizing the "petition"-like nature of the joint work.

Coopetition

Online customers expectations growing fast Local markets require similar sets of features R&D is expensive and time consuming Open source popularity in enterprise projects Huge demand and lack of resourcesGrowing number of cross-border projects Omni-channel commerce

Coopetition in eCommerce - why?

Focusing on building something new or improve something that everybody uses Partnering with similar but not the same Sharing information with clear goals and rules Protecting some knowledge to keep competition aspect and don’t become a supplier

“Share & protect” balance

“Coopete” locally…

…and globally

1 + 1 = 3

Forget maths…
