PUBS are facing a logistical nightmare after parts of Essex were split into different coronavirus tiers. Colchester and Tendring remain under Tier 2 restrictions today while the majority of Essex - including neighbouring Braintree and Maldon districts - has been put into Tier 3 due to a sharp rise in infection rates. Tier 3 rules mean pubs and restaurants must close - except for takeaways - while residents are urged not to travel outside of the area.

The Context
The idea that competitors should sometimes cooperate with one another has continued to gain traction since it was initially explored in the 1990s.
The Issue
A Framework for Action
Start by analyzing what each party will do if it doesn’t cooperate and how that decision will affect industry dynamics. Sometimes cooperation is a clear win. Even if it isn’t, it may still be preferable to not cooperating. But it’s critical to try to figure out how to cooperate without losing your current advantages.
The moon landing just over 50 years ago is remembered as the culmination of a fierce competition between the United States and the USSR. But in fact, space exploration almost started with cooperation.
