曾经互为竞争对手的优酷和土豆宣布合并时，有多少人乍舌，同时又有多少人称赞？当单打独斗已经无法为自己获的明显竞争优势的时候，合作竞争（coopetition）或许是一个不错的出路。

Coopetition (or co-opetition) is the result when two competing companies with overlapping products or technology find it beneficial to work together – ultimately increasing sales for both companies.

“合作竞争”（coopetition或co-opetition）指两家经营同类产品或技术、互相竞争的公司意识到双方合作会有更多收益后转竞争为合作的情况，双方销售额都会因此有所增加。

Coopetition is a portmanteau of cooperation and competition. It occurs when companies interact with partial congruence of interests. They cooperate with each other to reach a higher value creation if compared to the value created without interaction, and struggle to achieve competitive advantage.

Coopetition是cooperation（合作）和competition（竞争）两个词的合成形式。两公司部分利益一致时多会采取该政策。与单打独斗创造的利益和独自挣扎获取竞争优势相比，双方合作创造的利益更大。

英语新词：驴友 tour pal

驴友一词源自网络，“驴子”起源于新浪网，“驴友”最初由新浪旅游论坛传出，是旅游的旅的谐音，是对户外运动，自助自主旅行爱好者的称呼，也是爱好者自称、尊称对方的一个名词，因为驴子能驮能背，吃苦耐劳，所以，也常被爱好者作为自豪的资本之一。更多地是指背包客，就是那种背着背包，带着帐篷、睡袋，穿越、宿营的户外爱好者。
