In real life, groups and group members are always in a state of competition and cooperation. There is competition and cooperation, and they often coexist, thus making social life colorful.
Undoubtedly, cooperation and competition have their own characteristics. Cooperation can effectively coordinate interpersonal relationships and improve work efficiency. However, in the process of cooperation, there is also competition among group members, and competition plays a significant role in improving individual work efficiency.
For example, in a basketball team, there is a competitive relationship between teams, and the members of each basketball team are cooperative. Everyone wants to make more contributions to the whole team. The team with high shooting percentage is naturally the winner, while the shooter needs the close cooperation of other members.
In addition, when a group cooperates, it will inevitably compete with other members. Therefore, competition and cooperation are interdependent and indispensable.
