Knowledge Transfer and Small Businesses
نویسندگان
چکیده
Co-opetition, simultaneous co-operation and competition, entails sharing knowledge that may be a key source of competitive advantage. However, sharing is dangerous when the knowledge might be used for competition. Levy et al (1999) show how a game-theoretic framework can help analyse inter-organisational knowledge sharing under conditions of co-opetition. This research extends this work into the small and medium-sized enterprise (SMEs) domain. The paper presents data on knowledge sharing activities and consequences from a set of West Midlands-based SMEs.
