business competition
Corporate contest dynamics
Business competition is the rivalry between companies seeking the same customers, market share, or resources.
Businesses compete on price, quality, service, innovation, or brand appeal.
The term often appears in legal and economic contexts: antitrust laws promote business competition, healthy business competition drives down prices.
Competition can be direct (similar products) or indirect (different products serving the same need).
