Description
Introduction In the management field, most contemporaneous studies highlight the competitive theme, introducing various approaches to competition and competitiveness (Cho & Moon, 2000). As per the more generic definition (proposed by Stigler as cited in Newman, Eatwell, & Milgate, 1998) competition is perceived as rivalry between individuals (or groups or nations) which always arises when two or more parties struggle for something that not everybody can achieve; the core element of competition is the freedom that traders have to use their resources, in whichever way they want, exchanging them at whatever price they wish. Assuming that competition involves the search for and retention of scarce factors, competitiveness is regarded as a means to surviving this competition, and it can be associated to performance (revealed competitiveness) or efficiency (potential competitiveness) --assumptions that are often questioned as they are insufficient to express the essence of the phenomenon when organizational past behaviors are analyzed, regardless of market and competition dynamisms.
