Abstract

Coopetitive environments are characterized by situations where firms simultaneously compete and cooperate with competitors. Such situations impede the generation of proprietary and discretionary learning, by forcing competitors to selectively share critical knowledge about their assets. The objective of this chapter is to explore the learning strategies that can be deployed by firms in coopetitive configurations with no other choice than deploying an 'adverse learning' mechanism to reach their customers through cooperation with their competitors. After exploring the mechanisms of asymmetric learning in the first section, the chapter adopts an ecological perspective in drawing paralels between animal organization and groups of firms in gaining a strategic advantage through asymmetric learning.
