Co-opetition is a concept used and enlarged in business. Is it possible to implement it in HEIs?
A very interesting, timely and intriguing question Krzysztof! Not a great deal has been done on competition itself (though see https://core.ac.uk/download/files/108/398034.pdf) but surely as part of a wider gravitation towards a model of 'alliance capitalism', features of cooperation that align to the concept of strategic co-opetition are becoming more not less pronounced also in the HE sector as competition for funding, students and international collaborations/markets intensifies. There is certainly scope for applying many of the groundbreaking concepts first developed by Brandenburger and Nalebuff. Good luck with your research endeavors!
Dear Krzysztof,
I am interested in coopetition in the context of Polish Universities. I have some ideas about quite interesting method of analysis :)
If you want we can discuss this issue in detail throug e-mail/private mesages/telephone.

Dear prof. Krzysztof Leja!
I will be very happy, if my knowledge and skills in mathematical modelling and statistical analysing could be helpful for your research.
I can also propose to add to this topic the idea of analysing the different methods of consumer's decision making (in the context of HIs competition).
Best wishes

Dear Krzysztof,
This is a very interesting question and I can confirm that there is a lot happening in this area. This is quite true in France as well as the UK and very common in marketing initiatives.
I published a paper in 2014 on co-optition in French business schools.(see below)
I would be grateful of any comments you have and would be very happy to talk to you more on this subject.
Best wishes,
Mark

I would be somewhat wary. Many changes to the HE ecosystem are working against traditional forms of more collaborative academia. In 2010 Tom Kennie and I drew parallels with the changing world of professional services. The discussion paper for the LFHE is linked below.

It is extremely kind of all of you to show my question so much consideration. Thanks a lot
It is very interesting topic. As a manager of private higher education institution I have more than 10 years experience at Latvian market. This question was very actual for for me and still is interesting. There are big field for research in this case in Latvia. It will be very interesting to cooperate and make research in this field.
