Abstract
Companies and organizations must cope with the challenge of a demanded sustainability. Collaboration and competition represent a promising approach. The objective of this work is to develop strategies for competition and collaboration which enable increased economical benefit while boosting sustainability issues. The research is focused on value creation strategies, competition, collaboration and their impact as drivers for technological progress. Analysis based on scenarios and forecast reports about value creation in the remanufacturing area of production equipment are carried out. The target is to collect and rank criteria for an evaluation of business strategy regarding sustainability. Existing business strategies for industrial value creation are transferred to the field of remanufacturing analyzed as well as characterized regarding the gathered criteria to support sustainable acting between partners in value creation networks for remanufacturing of production equipment.
