There are many books and academic articles on cooperation in relation to innovation – and to a lesser extent on coopetition. This book is not intended to extend this already long list of academic works and textbooks. Cooperation is a multidimensional phenomenon which can be approached from several angles and which requires the decompartmentalization of disciplines, notably that of economics and management sciences.
The aim of this book is to show, through different theoretical corpuses borrowed from the industrial economy, the international economy, as well as from strategic management, the various possible approaches to analyzing the concept of cooperation. This review of the literature shows the complexity of the cooperative phenomenon, from its emergence several decades ago up to the most recent developments in the 2000s, including coopetitive practices, platforms and new forms of inter-organizational networks (business ecosystems).
