Date:??August 29-31,?2024
Venue:?Shanghai

Introduction
Business is like war without the bullets. Is inter-company competition just a win-lose game? Does a company have to base its success on its competitor’s failure? No! Both competition and cooperation are the inseparable part of business operation. Companies need to develop their strategies based on how to compete and cooperate at the same time. Any strategy that aims to achieve benefit at the expense of others will trigger strong countermeasures, which often make your original efforts end in vain. The final net result will be nobody gains nothing (or the Prisoners’ Dilemma). The co-opetition strategy, derived from the game theory, is a revolutionary strategic thinking about how to create and capture value. In a changing economic world, the adoption of such a strategy will help us change the game of business and secure a favorable position in the game. The joint success that Coca-Cola and Pepsi have achieved is largely the result of their trading off between competition and cooperation. It’s hard to believe that the two century-old rivals have had fewer price wars in a mature market than Chinese TV manufacturers have had in the last ten or so years in a fast-growing market.
The next few years will still see a growing Chinese economy, and most of sectors in China will continue to be fast-growing markets. It’s of greater significance for companies to cooperate and compete in an effective and sustainable way than it is to just scramble for market share.
