Abstract
There is a challenge before manufacturing, trading, and service companies, in the form of competitiveness in Industry 4.0 conditions. Classic passive matching strategies will be ineffective here. The winners will be those who actively anticipate the solutions of the new economy and those who are the first to actively support the implementation and internalization of new solutions. The problem the authors of the article are facing is the indication how companies behave in an attempt to actively influence the acceleration of the Industry 4.0 implementation process and thus to take a privileged position in the area of the value chain appropriate for the new economy. According to the authors of the article, the solution to this problem lies in the entrance of companies into the network with features of coopetition. Companies can then use such networks from all sources of efficiency of the co-opting network and thus increase their competitiveness and value on the market. The aim of the article is to build a network model with the features of coopetition dedicated to activities supporting the company taking a privileged position in new areas of economic activities on the example of the Industry 4.0 Revolution.
