Conclusion

From the Paper:

"Competition has been defined differently by different scholars and this depends entirely on its history. Competition exists not only in business but also between individuals, groups, animals, nations etc. It is a contest between different entities for either territory, a niche or resources. Competition exists or rather arises when two different bodies or entities strive to achieve objectives or goals which both of them cannot share (Hope 2000). Competition is a natural phenomenon between living organisms existing in the same environment. Any living organism strives to acquire the basic needs for its existence. For example, animals and human beings compete over water supplies, mates, shelter and mates among others. Competition often gives rise to deep rivalries especially among the human beings over the pursuit of wealth, prestige and fame. Business corporations are commonly associated with competition due to the fact that the very many business companies share same customers."
