In the era of rapid globalization and digital transformation, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the manufacturing sector encounter significant challenges in scaling operations, enhancing operational efficiency, and fostering innovation. This study focuses on manufacturing SMEs, where coopetition– a strategic blend of competition and cooperation– addresses these challenges. Despite its potential to drive innovation and value creation, coopetition networks often struggle to succeed, particularly under the pressures of advancing technology and the need for digital collaboration. To address these issues, this research develops a comprehensive framework that integrates Service-Dominant (S-D) Logic with technology-enabled coopetition networks. Utilizing the Design Science methodology, the study presents a framework that underscores the crucial role of technology in fostering value co-creation within SME networks. This framework is designed to enable sustainable and effective engagement in coopetition, significantly mitigating the risk of network failure by aligning technological innovation with coopetition principles. The proposed framework was evaluated through a targeted survey of managers from SMEs in the Portuguese stone manufacturing sector. The survey results con firmed the practical applicability and potential to promote robust and sustainable coopetition strategies. By integrating theoretical insights with practical applications, this research offers a roadmap for SMEs to effectively manage the complexities of coopetition within the digital supply chain environment.

Management and Production Engineering Review

Management and Production Engineering Review (MPER) is a peer-refereed, international, multidisciplinary journal covering a broad spectrum of topics in production engineering and management. Production engineering is a currently developing stream of science encompassing planning, design, implementation and management of production and logistic systems. Orientation towards human resources factor differentiates production engineering from other technical disciplines. The journal aims to advance the theoretical and applied knowledge of this rapidly evolving field, with a special focus on production management, organisation of production processes, management of production knowledge, computer integrated management of production flow, enterprise effectiveness, maintainability and sustainable manufacturing, productivity and organisation, forecasting, modelling and simulation, decision making systems, project management, innovation management and technology transfer, quality engineering and safety at work, supply chain optimization and logistics. Management and Production Engineering Review is published under the auspices of the Polish Academy of Sciences Committee on Production Engineering and Polish Association for Production Management.

Management and Production Engineering Review (MPER) is a peer-reviewed international multidisciplinary journal that covers a wide range of topics in production engineering and management. Production engineering is an evolving field of science that encompasses the planning, design, implementation, and management of production and logistics systems. What sets production engineering apart from other technical disciplines is its focus on human resources. The journal aims to advance both theoretical and practical knowledge in this rapidly developing area, with a special emphasis on production management, organization of production processes, management of production knowledge, computer-integrated management of production flow, enterprise effectiveness, maintainability and sustainable manufacturing, productivity and organization, forecasting, modeling and simulation, decision-making systems, project management, innovation management and technology transfer, quality engineering and workplace safety, as well as supply chain optimization and logistics. Management and Production Engineering Review is published under the auspices of the Polish Academy of Sciences Committee on Production Engineering and the Polish Association for Production Management.
