Influence of Coopetition on the Resilience of Startups:From the Perspectives of Entrepreneurial Learning and Institution Capital
In the VUCA(volatility,uncertainty,complexity,and ambiguity)era,the survival and development of startups becomes more difficult,and organizational resilience is the key ability for startups to respond to crises and growth against the trend.Based on the knowledge-based theory,this paper explores how startups learn and build resilience in the process of coopetition in the context of ecosystems.From the perspective of broad perspective,it employs the structural equation model to analyze the survey data from 479 companies.The results indicate that coopetition positively influence resilience and learning,and entrepreneurial learning positively mediates the relationship between coopetition and resilience.The results also reveal the moderating effects of institution capital,that is,it positively moderates the coopetition-learning relationship and negatively moderates the coopetition-resilience relationship.This paper expands coopetition to the field of resilience and entrepreneurial ecosystem,which may provide a new perspective for the resilience literature from the broad perspective and deepen the understanding of the knowledge-based view in the context of entrepreneurial ecosystem.
