Self-competition

Pattern description

In business, self-competition is competition by a company with itself for customers. This can include one product or retail location competing with another. While self-competition is often undesirable for the business, it can be beneficial to the customer, because, like normal competition, the result is lower prices and better products.

Inventive problems

The company should perform all production operations by itself to ensure the production.

The company should perform as small an amount of production operations as possible to reduce costs.
