“…THE term "competition" has been used by various authors to cover a wide range of different phenomena, so that many definitions of this term exist in the literature (Birch, 1957;Milne, 1961). In the present discussion we shall use the term in the sense proposed by Mime (1961), "competition is the endeavour of two (or more) animals to gain the same particular thing, or to gain the measure each wants from the supply of a thing when that supply is not sufficient for both (or all)".…”

“…It provides a measure of ecological similarity between interacting species. Therefore competition, under the niche theory, is a resource-related form of interaction between two or more species (Birch, 1957). The following sections discuss competition and its correlates and thereof attempt an alignment that seeks to further elucidate the broader relationship between these three terms for supply chain vs. supply chain purposes.…”

Development of a coherent methodology for supply chain vs. supply chain competition remains elusive in literature in terms of purpose, approaches and theoretical foundations. The purpose of this paper is to identify suitable theories of competition from which supply chain vs. supply chain competition may be further developed. Paper explores literature on competition theories, competition and its correlates and also considers the dichotomy between competitiveness and competition in relation to achievement of a competitive advantage in supply chains. An argument is made for the identification and development of theory that reflects the multidimensional, process-based and emergent properties of supply chains. Three competition theories from which supply chain vs. supply chain competition may begin to be conceptualized and possibly operationalized are identified. A chronological conceptualization of competition, competitiveness and competitive advantage, which is intuitive to the realization of competitive advantage in inter-supply chain competition, is also proposed.

“…Animals will predominantly compete for resources with other members of the same species (intra-species competition). But there will also be inter-species competition (Birch, 1957)-think of different predatory mammals fighting for prey and water, or of various sessile organisms competing for light interception and soil. Inevitably, intra-specific and inter-specific competition overlap.…”

Terms of use: Documents in AbstractStandard one-and two-population models for evolutionary games are the limit cases of a uniparametric family combining intra-and intergroup interactions. Our setup interpolates between both extremes with a coupling parameter κ. For the example of the hawk-dove game, we analyze the replicator dynamics of the coupled model. We confirm the existence of a bifurcation in the dynamics of the system and identify three regions for equilibrium selection, one of which does not appear in common one-and two-population models. We also design a continuous-time experiment, exploring the dynamics and the equilibrium selection. The data largely confirm the theory.
