This thesis contributes to the history of economic thought by showing what is missing in mainstream competition theories explaining the actual functioning of capitalism: collaboration. The thesis proposes two original synthesis on the practices of competition and collaboration together in the markets. In this context a new concept has born: coopetition. The thesis pushes the frontiers of the traditional Schumpeterian analysis to understanding of the functioning of the digital economy. Mechanisms related to FinTech and streaming sectors have demonstrated that collaboration strategies play a critical role in developing a market power and increasing profit.
