Companies generally recognize competition in two arenas, internal and external.
Competition between companies, or external competition, is seen as an inevitable part of doing business. Since this is thought to be best for customers, it seems natural to think that competition between employees, or internal competition, will benefit companies. Promoting internal competition is the idea behind having sales contests, commissions, bonuses, and other systems that reward a few top performers. At face value, the idea seems good. If you have people pushing themselves to win an award, then you will get better performance.
