Abstract

IBM's 'Radical Collaboration' model has been an innovative approach to meeting the challenges of the huge R&D and capital investments that are needed to stay competitive in the global semiconductor industry. This model has required a rethinking of what is proprietary, and what is shared, and where do the boundaries of co-operation end and competition begin. IBM and its partners have managed to stay competitive at, for example, the 45 nm mode, at a far lower cost than firms that 'go it alone', and there is a large benefit from a larger funnel of ideas and diverse points of view. It also reshapes what firms can use to build competitive advantage, or it necessitates a rethinking at least.
