Competition is largely stuck in a stereotype of winning and losing which limits our understanding of the dynamic and how it can be effective in the workplace.The scarcity and challenge from models of competition which are found on the sports field are for many people the basis of their engagement. But competition in sport is bound by agreed rules and umpires, and does not easily translate into the workplace.Are you competitive? This question is one many people struggle to answer in any detail because society generally turns a blind eye to competition outside of sport and trade in external markets.Using eight dimensions, competition is defined and discussed in this volume within the context ofmanagement to reinvigorate discussions of gender in the lives and relationships men and women managers encounter on a daily basis.
