Dear Daire
Thank you for sharing your point of view with us

There are contexts in which people (companies) cooperate but in other contexts they compete

In the context of a team, the sharing of Know how to reach a certain objective, how can it be considered?

Two companies offering the same products and / services that come together to respond to a contest?

Which is healthier, in your opinion, in the project teams? Competition, collaboration or coopetition?

Dear Luis,

I would see your question as what is more natural and apposed to what is more healthier. By that I mean rarely do you have mergers of equals whether its sharing intellectual property, resources, value add for customers or shared services facilities their is always a more dominate player that brings in the 'smaller' player into the negotiation for any such cooperation between two organisations.

My approach would be:

1. Collaboration
2. Competition
3. Cooperation.

I would see cooperation as my least favourite approach as I see it as a mask for more ulterior motives no matter how its packaged.

Daire
