	Ecological model of competition: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com
		The ecological model of competition is a reassessment of the nature of competition in the economy.
		Traditional economics models the economy on the priciples of physics (force, equilibrium, inertia, momentum, and linear relationships).
		According to the ecological model, it is more appropriate to model the economy on biology (growth, change, death, evolution, survival of the fittest, complex inter-relationships, non-linear relationships).

	Competition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Competition is the act of striving against another force for the purpose of achieving dominance or attaining a reward or goal, or out of a biological imperative such as survival.
		Depending on the respective economic policy, the pure competition is to a greater or lesser extent regulated by competition policy and competition law.
		Competition between members of a species is the driving force of evolution and natural selection- the competition for resources, such as food, water, territory, and sunlight, results in the ultimate survival and dominance of the variation of the species best suited for survival.

	Ecological economics
		Ecological economics is a branch of economic theory, also known as human development theory or natural welfare economics, that assumes an inherent link between the health of ecosystems and that of human beings.
		Ecological economists are inclined to acknowledge that much of what is important in human well-being is not analyzable from a strictly economic standpoint and suggests interdisciplinarity with social and natural sciences as a means to address this.
		Ecological economics' intellectual ancestor may be traced in large part to political economy, a refinement of early economic theory that includes among its earlier researchers the Rev. Thomas Malthus, David Ricardo, and Karl Marx.

	Happy G&T: ISSUE TOPIC GROUP 1: Competition VS Cooperation
		Competition characterises a biochemical, ecologic, economic, political, or sporting activity whereby two or more individuals or groups strive antagonistically against one another for some reward.
		Whereas some thinkers have viewed competition as being inherently at odds with cooperation or in a largely negative light, Berumen maintains that the two are often entertwined; for example, any number of competitive activities might require cooperation in following the rules, accepting judgments of impartial observers, and settling on rewards.
		The key to analzying the morality of competition is to understand who benefits and suffers as a result and whether the suffering can be justified using various normative criteria, for example, a voluntary agreement, universal prescriptions, or societal norms.

		Seen as a pillar of capitalism in that it may stimulate innovation, encourage efficiency or drive down prices, it is the foundation upon which capitalism is justified.
		However, competition may equally lead to wasted (duplicated) effort and to increased costs (and prices) in some circumstances.

		While some thinkers have viewed competition as being inherently at odds with cooperation or in a largely negative light, Berumen maintains that the two are often intertwined; for example, any number of competitive activities might require cooperation in following the rules, accepting judgments of impartial observers, and settling on rewards.
		Competition, Berumen asserts, is also one means of allocating finite resources, whether in business or in purchasing tickets to the theater.
		The key to analzying the morality of competition is to understand who benefits and suffers as a result and whether the suffering can be justified using various normative criteria- for example, a voluntary agreement, universal prescriptions, or societal norms.

		Ricklefs (1997) uses both the informal and the formal definition of the niche: "The ecological role of a species in the community“(informal) and “the ranges of many conditions and resource qualities within which the organism or species persists, often conceived as a multidimensional space”(formal).
		Competitive exclusion is observed, in fact, most often between two closely related species (two species in the same genus, for example).
		In modeling interspecific competition, Lotka and Volterra assumed that the growth rate of each species would be decreased as the population of its competitors increased.

	Competition In The Chemostat: A Distributed Delay Model And Its Global Asymptotic Behavior - Wolkowicz, Xia, Ruan ...
		In this paper, we propose a two species competition model in a chemostat that uses a distributed delay to model the lag in the process of nutrient conversion and study the global asymptotic behavior of the model.
		The model includes a washout factor over the time delay involved in the nutrient conversion, and hence the delay is distributed over the species concentrations as well as over the nutrient concentration (using the gamma distribution).
		...models without time delays, and that introducing large delays in the model may alter the predicted outcome of competition.

	ICT and Training: A Proposal for an Ecological Model of Innovation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		We contend that most models of innovation and change in organizations are too simplistic to allow a useful view of ICT in training, and its development, as a complex system involving a multitude of both human and non-human interactions (Tatnall and Gilding 1999).
		A model that we have found useful in describing complex situations, such as the adoption of ICT in training and education, is an ecological model.
		An ecological model can be used to identify the socio-technical factors that lead to this complexity and encourage us to look at the technology as a new entity attempting to grow and thrive in the environment of the organization.

		Simply stated, this means that the less similar the ecological relations of two species, the more likely they will coexist, or if overlap is high, then there must be mechanisms whereby competition is avoided.
		The outcome of competition is not determined by the intrinsic performance of each species in the absence of the other, but rather, their performance when together.
		Ecological Compression is where interspecific competition causes species to exist at numbers lower than would occur in the absence of competition.

	Administrative Science Quarterly: Competing for Attention in Knowledge Markets: Electronic Document Dissemination in a ...
		In short, this broader conceptualization of an internal knowledge market extends beyond a pure ecological model of competition in markets and suggests that a solely supplier-oriented view of internal knowledge markets is a limited one, since users' social constructions and patterns of demand also affect competitive dynamics.
		In short, our findings about competition for the attention of employees in a company can usefully be extended to studies that seek to understand how knowledge-supplying organizations compete for the attention of consumers in markets where there is a proliferation of information but a scarcity of attention.
		In this context, the fundamental niche is the one that a document supplier could exploit if there were no competition, while the realized niche is the one that it exploits given a set of competitors.

		At the moment, the competition coefficients for each species are set to 0, so there is no interaction between them.

		It is often easier to visualize the effects of 2 species models by plotting the density of one species against the density of the other - this type of plot is called a phase-plane diagram.

		This dissertation contributes to the advancement of evolutionary economics by developing an ecological model of intra-industry competition and extending it to international competition in global industries.
		The development of these models is an important first step in satisfying the need for a more comprehensive framework in which to evaluate the efficacy of policy.

		The model identifies two parallel processes both of which involve getting attention, encoding information, storage and retrieval of information, strategic choice, strategic outcome, and feedback.
