Abstract: Co-evolution between indigenous technology development in Canon's printers and subsequent market learning primarily from PC producers through "coopetition" that attempts to assimilate advanced knowledge from competitors by inspiring them in a cooperative way can leverage a fusion of indigenous printer technology and the effects of market learning. Consequently, this co-evolution leads to higher functionality development which in turn induces further strengthening of indigenous technology. This paper attempsts an empircal analysis to demosntrate the foregoing hypothetical view.
