Contemporary Challenges in Cooperation and Coopetition in the Age of Industry 4.0
This proceedings volume provides a fresh perspective on current challenges in cooperation and coopetition in the age of Industry 4.0. Featuring selected papers from the 10th Conference on Management of Organizations’ Development (MOD) held in Zamek Gniew, Poland, this volume extends the knowledge of cooperation and coopetition, presents analytic tools used in the research, considers the potential impact of Industry 4.0 on collaboration, and provides recommendations for managerial practice.

The Internationalisation Maturity of the Firm
In the 21st century, even small firms can reach customers located in different, often remote, parts of the world.

In the book, business relationships are operationalised by a set of characteristic...
Market and Technical Knowledge Integration in R&D Intensive Companies
Market and Technical Knowledge Integration in R&D-Intensive Companies explores the integration of market and technical knowledge within R&D-intensive companies. The crux of the book’s theoretical premise is the importance of integrating market and technical knowledge within organisations. Drawing from the resource-based view (RBV) and the knowledge-based view (KBV) of organisations, this premise stresses the need for knowledge integration. After an analysis of the literature on R&D, the book presents qualitative evidence from interviews of R&D professionals who elucidate knowledge integration methods. The book provides theoretical as well as practical insight on market and technical knowledge integration. Presenting a new approach to understanding how R&D intensive companies operate, the book gives researchers and practitioners practical advice on improving market and technical knowledge integration. It explains the critical role of efficient market and technical knowledge integration in innovation. It also examines how knowledge management contributes to superior business performance of R&D intensive companies.
Digitalization and Firm Performance
This book explores how digitalization and digital technologies influence markets, firms, financial institutions and organizations.

However, the book goes beyond this and, by adopting a holistic view, examines the social impact of digitalization, with the authors discussing how trade unions and employers present Industry 4.0 to employees and the general public. This book will be of interest to anyone studying digital innovation, digital management, digital strategy, Fin Tech, firm management, and Industry 4.0.
