COMPETITION
Competition in biology, ecology, and sociology, is a contest between
organisms, animals, individuals, groups, etc., for territory, a niche,
or a location of resources, for resources and goods, mates, for prestige,
recognition, awards, or group or social status, for leadership.
Competition is the opposite of cooperation. It arises whenever at least
two parties strive for a goal which cannot be shared or which is desired
individually but not in sharing and cooperation. Competition occurs
naturally between living organisms which co-exist in the same environment.
For example, animals compete over water supplies, food, mates, and other
biological resources. Humans compete usually for food and mates, though
when these needs are met deep rivalries often arise over the pursuit of
wealth, prestige, and fame. Competition is also a major tenet in market
economy and business is often associated with competition as most
companies are in competition with at least one other firm over the same
group of customers, and also competition inside a company is usually
stimulated for meeting and reaching higher quality of services or products
that the company produce or develop.
The study of competition
Competition has been studied in several fields, including psychology,
sociology and anthropology. Social psychologists, for instance, study
the nature of competition. They investigate the natural urge of
competition and its circumstances. They also study group dynamics, to
detect how competition emerges and what its effects are. Sociologists,
meanwhile, study the effects of competition on society as a whole. In
addition, anthropologists study the history and prehistory of competition
in various cultures. They also investigate how competition manifested
itself in various cultural settings in the past, and how competition has
developed over time.

COMPETITIVENESS
Competitiveness pertains to the ability and performance of a firm,
sub-sector or country to sell and supply goods and services in a
given market, in relation to the ability and performance of other
firms, sub-sectors or countries in the same market.
The term may also be applied to markets, where it is used to refer
to the extent to which the market structure may be regarded as
perfectly competitive. This usage has nothing to do with the extent
to which individual firms are "competitive'.
