Products should compete on their own merits, and consumers everywhere should have the ability to easily choose the best products available for purchase. Fair and open competition dictates that the best product wins, and market forces prevail.

So, lets discuss more on competition & employee rivalry. And how competition affects innovation??

Dear Capt Kartik, The question does not relate to rivalry between enterprises or companies. The present question relates to rivalry between employees of an organization. So, rivalry between employees doesn't become the cause of innovation, RATHER...

Rivalry definitely catalyses innovation provided it is maintained with limits that are either ethical or managerial. Rabid rivalry can become dangerous when it gets out of hand. The word competition is more apt as rivalry tends to signify personal...

AS she walks by the reception she jeers. This shocks all the visitors around because of her unbecoming behaviour. But she doesn’t mind them and continues mocking the beautiful receptionist, who ignores her. Rumor in the office has it that the man she has hopes in, is instead interested in the new beautiful receptionist. This is just one of the few cases of office rivalry. Instances where workmates don’t see eye to eye because of rivalry over girls or men, are many in workplaces. Some become sworn-enemies even when they might be occupying the same office. So, why do workmates, who would have otherwise been close, develop such a deep-rooted hatred for each other? One of the major cases of off...

BE AWARE!!! Its better to compromise rather losing the top guns..... Think twice before you act. This is a common issue employee fighting another employee, employee fighting management, management having a tension with high potential employees. Competition helps employees to develop contribute maximum. Companies also try their best to get the best out of their best employees. But when when it comes to retaining them they fail to do so... Why?? What went wrong?? Is the Employee wrong or the Management? Here are some of the biggest mistakes companies are making with high-potential talent ultimately failing to retain them. Ignoring the view from the pipeline This is the first big mistake and i...

It is all becoz for obtaining talent or good things you need hard work and passion. And if one hesitates to take an initiative then he has to do nothing because by default he is doing bad things and can become lazy.

Business Management Consultant  |  Supported idea  "Make The Groung Rules Clear"  |  1 year ago
That could be a difficult subject. I agree that management should monitor situations like this. It could be risky to encourage or even allow productive rivalry in a company because it can get out of hand. But on the other hand it could possibly...
Saket Vishal  |  Added idea  "Create competency groups"  |  1 year ago
It is always good to put forward groups rather than individuals. Create competency groups that have their own focus and objectives. Competing these groups against each other with knowledge sharing, rewards, and other factors, will help in...

Vinod Somal  |  Supported idea  "rivalry@workplace should be based on ethics."  |  1 year ago
not all the time is it possible to interpret the argument based on ethics.  after all its the nature of each individual which influences his actions,  no matter how much you try to inculcate ethics into an individual, his intepretation will...
Akbar Namazi  |  Added idea  "2 sides to every coin."  |  1 year ago
employee rivalry can be positive if the rivalry is to gain a better position by working in the appropriate manner towards achieving that goal, similarly it can be negative if people use malpractices to achieve same goal.
Patrick Ashok Waghmare  |  Supported idea  "Affecting overall productivity"  |  1 year ago

There are two types of competition, healthy and unhealthy, and anyone can use a contest structure to engage in either kind. Healthy competition encourages everyone involved to push themselves harder than they would have without competition, and as a result they achieve more personal or professional growth whether they won or lost. Healthy competition expands the boundaries of what you believed was possible for yourself. And it encourages you to admit to others that you’re ambitious. Unhealthy competition is when your reaction to others’ success is negative, rather than inspiring and motivating to you. Unhealthy competition is where you hope others have limitations because you are afraid you...

World IP Day, 26 April: "The Power of Ideas as the seedbed for innovation and creativity" "World Intellectual Property Day is an opportunity to encourage people to think about the role played by intellectual property in everyday life, and about its importance in stimulating and safeguarding innovation and creativity. This year we celebrate the starting point of all intellectual property, the seeds from which all innovations and creative works grow – ideas." WIPO member states decided, in 2000, to designate a World Intellectual Property Day to raise awareness of the role of intellectual property in our daily lives, and to celebrate the contribution made by innovators and artists to the development of societies across the globe. April 26 was chosen as this was the date on which the Convention establishing WIPO entered into force in 1970. Significance of World IP Day To raise awareness of how patents, copyright, trademarks and designs impact daily life To increase understanding of how...

Grown in the lab: Artificial implants (Cornea) that restore sight in partially blind patients Here is a good news: Button-shaped artificial corneas have restored the sight in men and women in danger of going blind. The man-made corneas were just as good at improving eyesight as those usually obtained from donors. In time, the transparent implants could help ease the dire shortage of donated corneas.   Worldwide, 1.5million people go blind each year because they cannot have corneal transplants. Damage to the cornea, the collagen-based transparent outermost layer of the eye, is one of the most common causes of blindness. It affects ten million people around the world and can be caused by genetics, surgery, burns, infection or chemotherapy. Previous attempts to develop synthetic implants have had limited success. To create an implant that is as close as the real thing as possible, the North American and Swedish researchers grew a synthetic form of human collagen in the lab and moulded...

We are hired for our ability to use our intellectual resources - to find solutions, suggest the road ahead, develop plans, chart courses of action etc etc. The boss is looking for relevant, practical acceptable plans which are both effective efficient. To a human being, ‘thinking’ is hard work. Given a choice the ‘head’ is a procrastinator. It will look for the simplest way out. Employees come in various shades – from those who don’t want to, or cannot think, or lack the ability to innovate and think fresh, to those who seem to do wonders every time. So what happens – confronted with an issue, the former is most likely to look for precedence, dig old files presentations, google for templates, activate his / her networks etc till he has a start point. Thereafter it is the familiar story of Controls C V. The first time this gets the approval of the boss, we are comfortably on the road downhill.      Some of our subordinates fresh out of college have the ability to start with, but...
