The main purpose of the present paper is to analyze the feasibility of managing coopetition among two given agents in a firm, under a Markovian structure, where the transition probabilities are defined by the incentive schemes for cooperation and competition and the personality-tradeoffs between the two agents. Furthermore, the asymptotic behavior of the model is considered and analyzed through a numerical estimation of the different possibilities. The behavior of the steady state probabilities as a function of the incentive scheme is shown for different possibilities of personality-tradeoffs between the agents. The existence of a Dominant Coopetitive Range, wherein the steady state probability of the coopetition state is higher than the similar probabilities of the cooperation and competition state, is shown to exist for some types of personality-tradeoffs. The State Dominance Mapping i...

The financial theory about the increased market of mergers and acquisitions in the world, presented diverse reasons for entering into this type of strategic processes, different results about the success or the failure after some years of functioning, and diverse approaches for a better comprehension about financial and non financial variables which are related to those results. In this paper, these themes were explained with a special attention to the market of mergers and acquisitions in Latin America, due to its special characteristics as emerging market and concluded that although the approaches for studying the mergers and acquisitions are so diverse, the proposition of another approaches for researching mergers and acquisitions in Latin America could be related to the situation of the firms to be joined (financial and non financial), the management of those processes, the character...
