MODIFICATION OF THE CONCEPT OF COMPETITIVENESS WITH SPECIAL REGARD TO THE DEMAND EMERGING NOWDAYS ON COOPERATION
What is the activating force that organizes economic affairs? The social side of human nature means that competition alone is not sufficient because competition is the expression of human individuality. Cooperation, which gives expression to human sociality, is the other one. Reality provides many examples indicating that people are more cooperative than is assumed in the standard self-interest model. In the last twenty years the academic view has changed about whether we should compete or cooperate for the higher competitiveness. In the eighties they supported the opinion that the competition is the only way to achieve success in business. Later on the argument started on competition vs. cooperation, and they realized that in some situation the competition, while in others the cooperation is efficient. In the same period the two definitions have changed as well. Different writers defined competition and cooperation variously according to their research’ approach. The study examined competition and cooperation separately, but there exist a new notion, according to which different independent partners can cooperate and compete at the same time with each other. So the opposite approaches can be fused, that is coopetition. Coopetition is a very popular solution for the present complex problems. But according to the everyday people it is not sure, that "working with the enemy†can run.competitiveness, cooperation, Institutional and Behavioral Economics, International Relations/Trade,
Corporate opinion about competition and cooperation in the examined enterprises
Enterprises emerging from the crisis face significant uncertainty independent of their capitalisation. While looking for points of departure enterprises try to measure each other’s intentions. In my survey I strived to inquire about entrepreneurs’ assessment of their position and their attitude towards their partners considering the present stressful economic environment. The research’s results indicated that respondents are more optimistic than expected, their answers indicated that they don’t struggle for survival but strive to maintain their stability and realise a moderate growth. Most of the managers consider their enterprises competitive on the domestic market and financially profitable. From the government they nevertheless expect an increased protection of domestic actors. They consider Hungarians to be rather competitive, although competition is not spotless in the country. Nevertheless they judged their own attitude to be cooperative rather than competitive. They emphasised that clean partnership is important for a successful business but differences in income are not due to outstanding economic performance. They consider their companies flexible and stabile, prepared for the oncoming changes, yet they are not risk-taking, work with long term contracts and allow for rebates in favour of cooperation
Versenyképesség értelmezésének változása a múlt század közepétől napjainkig
A nemzetközi versenykĂ©pessĂ©get sokan a komparatĂv elĹ‘nyökkel magyarázták, amelyet a kĂĽlkereskedelemben tudnak az adott országok realizálni. Tehát szerintĂĽk az a gazdaság versenykĂ©pesebb, amelyikben a komparatĂv költsĂ©gek alacsonyabbak, azaz export árelĹ‘nye van. Azonban lĂ©tezik más megközelĂtĂ©s is, ami a versenykĂ©pessĂ©gi pozĂciĂłt piaci rĂ©szesedĂ©ssel s az export volumenĂ©vel mĂ©ri. Van, aki ez utĂłbbi helyett az export Ă©rtĂ©kĂ©vel számol, azaz azt tekinti versenykĂ©pesebbnek, aki nagyobb mĂ©rtĂ©kben tudja kivitelĂ©t növelni. EnnĂ©l pontosabb kĂ©pet ad az export GDP-hez viszonyĂtott aránya, hiszen az minĂ©l nagyobb, annál inkább kĂ©pes az adott nemzetgazdaság kihasználni a kapacitásait, illetve bĹ‘vĂteni. E mellett lĂ©nyeges elemezni a kĂĽlkereskedelmi mĂ©rleg egyenlegeit, s az import exportfedezettsĂ©gĂ©t is. A jelenlegi globalizált világban már komplexebb megközelĂtĂ©s szĂĽksĂ©ges. A vállalati versenykĂ©pessĂ©g szintĂ©n aktuális kĂ©rdĂ©s, amely leginkább a vállalatvezetĹ‘ktĹ‘l követel meg nagy figyelmet. Tekintettel kell lenniĂĽk, ugyanis nemcsak az árra, a minĹ‘sĂ©gre, a keresleti viszonyokra, a vállalati struktĂşrára/stratĂ©giára, tĂ©nyezĹ‘ellátottságra, Ă©s a kapcsolĂłdĂł/támogatĂł iparágakra, a kormányzati intĂ©zkedĂ©sekre, hanem a vállalaton belĂĽli emberi erĹ‘forrás gazdálkodásra is, a szociális tĂ©nyezĹ‘kre, valamint a vállalatok közötti egyĂĽttműködĂ©s kĂ©rdĂ©sĂ©re is. A tanulmány bemutatja a versenykĂ©pessĂ©g fogalmának Ă©s a ráhatĂł, figyelembe vett tĂ©nyezĹ‘knek bĹ‘vĂĽlĂ©sĂ©t
Efficiency and Profitability Along the Lifecycle Stages of Small Enterprises
Les germanistes Patrick Farges et Anne-Marie Saint-Gille éditent les contributions présentées lors d’un colloque organisé à l’ENS Lyon en janvier 2012 qui avait rassemblé historien-ne-s et germanistes. Ils proposent un parcours à travers ce qui est appelé ici le premier féminisme allemand sans que l’éditeur et l’éditrice ne le définissent plus précisément. Les Allemandes et les Autrichiennes ont accédé au suffrage en 1918 ce qui, contrairement à la France, a largement modifié les conditions d..
The role of cooperation and creativity in business activity
The study presents the practical problems, positive and negative effects of the intracompany competition, advantages and disadvantages of cooperation as well as the importance of creativity. There exists a statement according to which the lack of competition is ruining, but at the same time, even the competition itself may be fatal. The statement emphasizing that negligence of the cooperation between the partners that causes measurable damages in material resources is in harmony with this. It seems that cooperation should be more profitable, than competition. The answer is not so easy because the problem should be divided into macro (ie. market) and micro (ie. company) level. For instance the research proves that competition stimulates creativity, if you want be the marketleader or just a survivor, you have to be creative. Some of the hypothesis has been proofed through a new Hungarian research, which based on interviews with businessmen. Also the relationship between company size and aforementioned effects is measured in the essay. The results are exciting but not surprising, the data show that the Hungarians are not cooperative enough, and competition among a firm causes information backkeeping. Although some hypotheses are demonstrated with new data, the limitation of this reseach should also be a realised
VersengĹ‘ Ă©s kooperatĂv magatartás az átalakulĂł gazdaságban
A kelet-közĂ©p-eurĂłpai országokban - Ăgy Magyarországon is - a rendszerváltást követĹ‘en viszonylag gyorsan kialakultak a piacgazdaság alapvetĹ‘ intĂ©zmĂ©nyei Ă©s jogi keretei. A gazdasági szereplĹ‘k magatartása azonban lĂ©nyegesen lassabban változik. Kutatásunk cĂ©lja az volt, hogy megmutassuk: közel kĂ©t Ă©vtizeddel a rendszerváltás után milyen mĂ©rtĂ©kben fejlĹ‘dött ki a piacgazdaságokban nĂ©lkĂĽlözhetetlen versengĹ‘, illetve a nem kevĂ©sbĂ© nĂ©lkĂĽlözhetetlen kooperatĂv magatartás. KĂ©pesek-e a gazdaság szereplĹ‘i pozitĂv választ adni a kĂĽlföldi konkurensek megjelenĂ©sĂ©re, vagy mĂ©g mindig a rĂ©gi versenyellenes hozzáállás dominál? Hogyan befolyásolja a versenyzĹ‘k magatartását az állami beavatkozás? Válaszainkat e kĂ©rdĂ©sekre 71 mĂ©lyinterjĂşra alapoztuk, összehasonlĂtva a válaszadĂłk vĂ©lemĂ©nyĂ©bĹ‘l nyerhetĹ‘ kĂ©pet nĂ©hány nemzetközi vizsgálatbĂłl származĂł adattal
