| Summary: | The paper presents some of the problems relating to the coopetition relations in the steel industry. Coopetition is one of the key issues relating to the inter-organizational cooperation in recent years. On one hand, companies are working together and sharing the effects of uncertainty arising from the environment, and on the other hand they compete with each other in other areas, remaining competitors. In other words, they must reconcile each aspect of competition and cooperation, which is particularly important in case of cooperation involving more than two partners. Coopetition is a relatively new phenomenon, however it is growing very rapidly, and companies which are able to utilize this concept effectively can gain a coopetitive advantage over their competitors. |
