Abstract
The role and importance of competition for business strategy has recently been identified and documented by Henderson (1984). While the emphasis of his analysis is on the emergence of explicit business strategies, particularly the advantages of being the low cost producer with a dominant market share position, there is an underlying assumption that the concept of competition is lawful and is a part of natural law. Within this broad framework the superiority of biological models of competition are recognized while economic models of competition are rejected.
