schestowitz"In the tech industry, former Novell CEO Ray Noorda popularized the term coopetition (also called coopertition): Sometimes you’ll work with your competitor to grow the market for both of you. Still, it helps to be watchful (note Novell’s size today). Or as Woody Allen noted: The wolf will lie down with the lamb. But the lamb won’t get much sleep."Dec 24 19:23
