Coopetition...

...is the new buzz word being used the describe the courting between Ford and General Motors. Apparently these two dying brands will attempt to restart each other with a relationship of necessity.

GM has too many brands. Ford has too much crap on the lot. This ought to be a recipe for even greater failure than the two are capable of separate. I have stated on many occasions, and will do so again, never will a domestic car grace my driveway.

The Germans and the Japanese are head and shoulders above their competition.

I coined the word coopetition in 1977 because of work I was doing for the Red Cross. Since then I have developed the beginnings of a new language that addresses the philosiphical and pracritcle connections. I believe without these included the higher ground for coopetition will be slow to flurish. I would be interested in chatting about these issues. I was published 2 years ago in PM magazine.
