The degree to which organizations emphasize cooperation or competition affect the workplace relationships How and if we can use competition and cooperation for the success of a project? Especially when the same colleague who is a collaborator on important project is a competitor for promotions and recognition.

Both competition and cooperation may be useful at certain times. However, I feel that competition may come naturally (and needs to be managed to be constructive), but cooperation may need to be developed and nurtured

I think first of all proper roles and responsibilities should be defined.

It is an art in management, that it is hard to define healthy competition. I am thinking about a football team for example. On field everyone has to cooperate to win the game. But I am sure there is also competition, that someone on the bench wants to play. And such cooperation and competition are expected by all the team members. So it is the job of the manager to manage his/her team.
