We are confronted with a multitude of views about the nature, dysfunctions, and largely unwanted effects and consequences of competition in the sector. But how are these views to be “explained”? What is missing in the sector? Is there a pattern of reasons that provides the best explanation for the virulence and intensity of competition in a sector that espouses high moral values? Should this kind of competition be occurring in a context where organisations and programs are mission/values -driven. There are several ways of “explaining” competition and its consequences.
