Competitive advantage an example of trading based on the commonly cited outcome of Prisoner's Dilemma: screw your rivals before they screw you. Get better, faster access to resources so that you can grow at the expense of other organisations. Very much a win-lose scenario. How sustainable is this strategy in the long-term — should we believe Porter?
Look at 'sustainable cooperative advantage'; long-term, high trust relationships reduce the likelihood of defection. Many players, so tragedy of the commons = uncoordinated individual actions of multiple agents.
Cooperation... hailed, but actually not usually supported by espoused values. Told that collaboration is key, but the behaviours rewarded for demonstrate otherwise. Think Rousseau: acting inauthentic = self destruction [Julie, ou la nouvelle Héloïse]
