竞争可以促使企业不断开发新技术、新产品和改善经营管理。但如果一家企业占领了大部分市场,外部竞争压力减弱,企业就可能走向保守和僵化。“精工”系列企业约上百家,在日本钟表界独占鳌头,其市场占有率约达70%,几乎无人能与其竞争。没有压力,在企业内部会出现固步自封、不图创新的倾向。为此“精工”决定开展自我竞争。 Competition can encourage companies to continuously develop new technologies, new products and improve business management. However, if a company takes over most of the market and external competitive pressures weaken, companies may become conservative and rigid. There are about 100 “Seiko” companies in the Japanese watch industry. Their market share is about 70%, and almost no one can compete with them. Without pressure, there will be a tendency within the company to be self-styled and not to innovate. For this reason, Seiko decided to start self-competition.
