Over two billion persons have been added to the world’s economies that are largely driven by market structures and, thus, competition. The persons have been added as consumers and competitors and, oftentimes, as winners and losers of global competitive interplay. Certainly, global competition has already changed the lives of hundreds of millions of persons. Not surprisingly, globalization has come to be one of the most controversial discussed issues of our times with a multitude of facets that are frequently misunderstood. As a result, widespread biased perceptions about what world-spanning markets really mean and what they can accomplish for all participants exist. However, it seems safe to state that a global culture based on competitive interplay is on the rise.
