Abstract
The purpose of the study is to extend the coopetition concept to the regional level, throwing light on the dynamics of cross-border collaboration affected by paradoxical tensions between national and regional demands. We use in-depth interviews with home country institutional actors, utilizing immersive fieldwork on location and an iterative process in data analysis and theory development. We develop a conceptual model of unbalanced supranational coopetition, demonstrating internal tensions from nested paradoxes in a multilevel view. The balance is affected by unique contradictory interactions between regional and national interests, triple identities, ambivalence, and avoidance manifested at macro, meso and micro levels. The findings show the prioritization of non-regional demands and overall reactive dynamics, thereby contributing to the coopetition research stream.
期刊介绍：
The Scandinavian Journal of Management (SJM) provides an international forum for innovative and carefully crafted research on different aspects of management. We promote dialogue and new thinking around theory and practice, based on conceptual creativity, reasoned reflexivity and contextual awareness. We have a passion for empirical inquiry. We promote constructive dialogue among researchers as well as between researchers and practitioners. We encourage new approaches to the study of management and we aim to foster new thinking around management theory and practice. We publish original empirical and theoretical material, which contributes to understanding management in private and public organizations. Full-length articles and book reviews form the core of the journal, but focused discussion-type texts (around 3.000-5.000 words), empirically or theoretically oriented, can also be considered for publication. The Scandinavian Journal of Management is open to different research approaches in terms of methodology and epistemology. We are open to different fields of management application, but narrow technical discussions relevant only to specific sub-fields will not be given priority.
