Abstract
In a highly competitive environment, the phenomenon of coopetition is emerging rapidly
among various firms as well as markets which is significant to enhance firm‘s open
innovation performance (FOIP). However, Malaysian High-Tech SMEs are unable to
develop a well-managed coopetition mechanism which influence negatively on open
innovation (OI) performance. To address this problem, the objective of this study is to
investigate the effect of coopetition-based OI on the FOIP. To achieve this objective, a
survey was conducted by using cross-sectional research design. Managerial employees of
Malaysian high-tech SMEs were selected as the ultimate respondents of this study. While
analyzing the data through PLS-SEM, it is revealed that coopetition has major
contribution to enhance FOIP. Likewise, it is highlighted that the role of trust and
dependency is crucial to develop a good coopetition platform. The study contributed in
the body of literature by investigating the mediating role of trust and dependency to
enhance the positive effect of coopetition based OI on FOIP, particularly in Malaysian
high-tech SMEs. Thus, the current study has major importance for Malaysian high-tech
SMEs to look on the vital factors to expedite coopetition and innovation activities
