Abstract
An approach is provided that creates a co-opetition index. The co-opetition index is created by mining data from online sources that are related to competitor activities associated with a competitor of an organization. The competitor is selected from many competitors of the organization. Possible business actions are automatically identified that correspond to the competitor activities. The set of possible business actions are analyzed using a game theory analysis. The game theory analysis results in an identification of next actions that maximize a payoff to the organization. The co-opetition index is adjusted based on a classification of the next actions on a competitiveness scale. The resulting co-opetition index is then provided to a user of the system.
