Here is an idea that has been occupying my mind for quite some time now. I am not completely sure if the term, which I came up with, is the most appropriate but it works for me.
A symbiotic company
is a company which works together with other companies although initially it may seam that they are in direct competition. For example, company A provides security services and company B provides security services as well. Company A is not about market dominance, instead they try to work with company B in such a way that both companies benefit. Company A is a symbiotic company
. It is twisted but it makes perfect sense to me.
This type of relationship does not imply that company B dominates company A. Not at all. This type of relationship implies that both companies have different working models and also different values. For example, company B may have tighter deadlines for and more streamed-lined services. Company A has loose deadlines but more creative output. On their own both companies have advantages and disadvantages but together they create a very powerful combination.
Again, this is certainly not about market dominance.
