ABSTRACT

Competing and collaborating with competitors at the same time (coopetition) has proved to be an effective strategy for SMEs in developing countries. The strategy aids in the survival of small business through resource sharing, knowledge transfer and innovation performance. This article aims to highlight the importance of coopetition through theoretical and empirical evidence by studying 355 companies in SADC countries to examine the effect of collaboration on firm performance and to further infer coopetition as a driver for economic growth through firm performance in SADC countries.
