Competition, it exists in every part of our lives and its results are effecting us. The competiton, one of the main corner stones of the trade and business world , provides development of people and their companies; in addition of placing the companies in their market. We should not understand the competiton as a price competition; having a value comparison with knowledge and service race only comes with competition concept.
With the variety of the information resources and access chanels, creating advantages for individuals and companies in order to be different from their competitors becomes automatically. The duration of having benefits from the competition results by users is diminishing day by day. When you buy a technology product today, at most after 3 months you have a choice of buying cheaper and more sophisticated one. In the past years this duration was longer; it is provided that the reasons outlined above this time shortened. Price/Performance/Product ( 3P ) comparisons now include “Value” comparisons as well. As a result of this, value comparison became more important on the purchasing times.
The choices depend on value measurements and competition results of the decision makers, varies on the probabilities; because the taken decision will play an important role for the future steps that will be taken. Decision taking depends on demoting of many options to at least two options. Chosen option simply stays in the answer of the question “Deal? or No deal?”.
Variety of competiton environment resources provide the development effects fastly and easily. Sag in knowledge levels of managers and decision makers, limit their personal and their instituitons visions; and this causes their deveopments in negative way. We observe rather frequently in the internet technology used areas.
Today’s intensive usage of blocking access to information is due to the lack of basic technological knowledge of the decision makers. Instead of blocking to the information, website is totaly blocking. These type of implementations effects all users and all information resources cut from their main sources.
“Development”, is a unavoidable fact for every country. The investmens for the development should be supported; countries should be constantly open to carry on the competition with other countries, should share, and should implement blocking policies intellectually. Otherwise, saying “Stop!” to development for some time, will put us one inevitably step back with the communities where we are in competition.
It is needed to take a decision in order to develope, provide competition environment, go further and learn. We need to answer a question to take this important decision. The answer of this question will determine the future of people, communities, companies and academic institutions.
Yes. Let’s ask : “In order to develop and go further, Deal? or No Deal?”
