competition
coopetition

To answer perhaps a little buntly, ss a mother-tongue english speaker, the word coopetition sounds to me like nonsense. I would never use it.


competition in cross-cultural CoPs?

I'm happy to continue in here, and I'm curious to learn why it thought that
competition may be more of a problem in a cross-cultural setting.

Communication problems and misunderstandings may be more likely, but when we bridge across continents, disciplines and organisational structures then I believe cooperation to be the default, with the real
competition perceived as closer to home.
