| | | The article examines the evolution of views on the category of “competition” from ancient times to the present day and compares two trends in this process: perfect competition and imperfect competition. The author discusses scholarly perspectives upon the mechanism of competition over a number of years, analyzes present-day definitions of competition proposed by Russian scholars and describes three existing approaches to this term. The article argues that the third approach is of particular interest in the present-day globalizing world based on information and communication technologies. New trends in competition and new competition factors have been identified. | | Key words: competition, perfect competition, imperfect competition, monopoly, oligopoly, monopolistic competition, modern technology, corporation | | Pages: 62 - 65 |
