Positive Competition is a force that brings out the best in people, markets and institutions.
As positive professionals, we prefer to see the “glass half-full” and to encourage progress through constructive dialogue. We promote kindness, respect and positive discipline in organizations.
The term positive also relates to logical positivism. Economic arguments are not mere opinions, but statements that are scientific and falsifiable. Competition policy and enforcement should be guided by logic and facts, rather than prejudice and ideology.
