Competition and Collaboration in the AI Race

ABOUT THE EPISODE As companies race to lead the next wave of artificial intelligence, where does healthy competition end and destructive rivalry begin? Henning Piezunka, Wharton Associate Professor of Management, explores how competition shapes business strategy, why rivalries can become personal, and when collaboration creates greater value than competition. Using today’s AI race as a backdrop, he explains what leaders can learn from business, sports, and organizational research about navigating both successfully.
