  text: "Data ecosystems offer new opportunities for value creation by enabling companies
    to combine and reuse\r\ndata beyond their own boundaries. Coopetition, i.e., simultaneous
    cooperation and competition, is an\r\nimportant dynamic within data ecosystems
    that must be understood and managed well to leverage the\r\nnon-rivalrous nature
    of data. A systematic literature review of 38 peer-reviewed studies on ecosystems\r\nand
    coopetition was conducted to clarify how coopetition affects data ecosystems.
    Using qualitative\r\ncontent analysis, the study summarizes how coopetition is
    calibrated, what results it produces, and what\r\nchallenges are associated with
    it. The resulting Data Ecosystem Coopetition (DECo) model specifies\r\nfour management
    levers, as well as the associated outcomes and common challenges. In addition,
    six\r\ncycles were identified that link levers, challenges, and outcomes. These
    cycles provide concise guidance\r\non elements that tend to vary together and
    highlight areas that are prone to specific tensions."
