Chapter Chapter 2 in Collaboration in the Australian and Chinese Mobile Telecommunication Markets, 2014, pp 9-30 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In recent years the process of globalisation and development of telecommunication technology has fostered an increase in various types of local and international inter-firm collaboration. Cooperation and competition are mutually applied in the business world. However, cooperation has been increasingly considered superior to competition both for individuals and firms (Contractor and Lorange 1988). This development derives from both intellectual and social concerns (Faulkner and Rond 2000).
