This study investigates the motivation behind an incumbent firm's strategy to open up its technology and an entrant's decision on whether to adopt this technology. We model the interactions between firms’ strategies toward coopetition and the entrant's technology development capacity, as well as the technology transformation rate, which occurs in the technology adopting process. We find that the two technological parameters exert significant influence on the coopetition decisions of firms. Moreover, consumer surplus and social welfare are compared under different configurations. We further verify the robustness of our main results in two extension cases.

朋友还是敌人？科技公司竞争下的战略性技术开放和采用

本研究调查了现有公司开放其技术的战略背后的动机，以及进入者是否决定采用该技术的决定。我们模拟了公司的竞争战略与进入者的技术开发能力之间的相互作用，以及在技术采用过程中发生的技术转化率。我们发现这两个技术参数对企业的竞合决策有显着影响。此外，比较了不同配置下的消费者剩余和社会福利。我们在两个扩展案例中进一步验证了我们的主要结果的稳健性。
