Competition is a standard way of life in U.S. companies, both internally and externally. What happens in a company when this competitive attitude becomes a "win/lose" philosophy? How can management help develop a "win/win" philosophy toward internal competition?
Excessive internal competition can replace the cooperation that is necessary for the success of the company. In fact this can cause communication to diminish or cease. Management can help change this internal competition by developing open communication and providing information to employees. Reward systems can also increase cooperation. The cooperative spirit can be developed if employees have an understanding and appreciation for others' importance and functions.
