In particular, there are two directions to understanding the competition generated by the Western school, represented by its largest representative M. Porter, and formed the patriotic school. Representatives of the patriotic school were R. A. Fathutdinov, G. L. Azoev, A. Yu. Judanov, E. Mazilkina and G. Panichkina, A. L. Denisova and T. M. Ulyakhin, Yu. B. Rubin.

The domestic school studies competition with dialecticmaterialistic positions involving consideration of competition as the environment for market processes or as a socioeconomic phenomenon, where the essence of competition is revealed through the concept of competitiveness. Contribution of scientific researches and studying of competition establishing approaches to understanding competition allows considering and drawing up scientific theoretic-methodological basis of competition analysis. Modern views on competition serve as the beginning of scientism in formation of competition, which resulted in formation of the methodology of the scientific research of competition, and foremost as exchange processes and phenomena.
