Strategic Competition is mainly a management, defined as a group of commitments within an organization or firm that seeks to make a very large change in competitive relationships. One of the main principles of strategic competition is that the response of an organization regarding another one's introduction of a new product defines the impact of such in the market.This type of competition has proven itself useful when trying to explain a firm's executive compensation schemes, leading to time compensation[1][2]

Within a market where strategic competition is present, investment provides a much bigger capability of taking advantage of future opportunities of growth which also implies obtaining a greater market share. If such interaction between rivals is efficiently used, even all actors of the industry in which strategic competition was applied may be compensated on their profits. This is implemented either by putting entry barriers to new competitors or to dissuading others from 'making space' for stronger ones.[3][4]

Basic Elements

Strategic Competition is comprised of five basic elements:

  • To comprehend competitive interaction as a dynamic system.
  • To use such comprehension in order to forecast the effects of any intervention in that system.
  • To dispose of many uncomitted resources that can be applied to diverse purposes.
  • To predict the risk and return with enough accuracy for justifying the use of these resources.
  • To possess the necessary will to set the necessary towards such commitment. [1]

Uses in Other Areas

Not only strategic competition is applied to the business area but also to other ones such as political science and international relations.

This is because it brings about distinctive outcomes linked to capital structure.[5] For example, the current status of Syria have provided a fertile terrain for strategic competition of the many actors involved in the conflict. This element is likely to persist well beyond any formal resolution of the conflict.[6] Another example of this, is the current growing economic and strategic competition of US and China in Southeast Asia.
