Drivers of SMEs coopetition and their evolution

While the literature on coopetitive strategies is expanding, the topic of the drivers of coopetition has received little attention. However, understanding the drivers of coopetition is a key issue for practitioners in charge of the implementation of the coopetition process. Addressing this gap in the literature, we explore the drivers of SMEs coopetition in a French wine industry area: Pic-Saint-Loup. Our findings reveal that the drivers of coopetition are evolving and are determined by the environmental context and the centrality of the actors.
