Even in a "zero-sum" game, there is a big difference whether you desire to
win yourself or whether you desire your competitor to lose. It is a
different focus. For example it is difficult to establish a customer focus
and to value "customer satisfaction" if you have no focus on "win".
Every pricing is a competitive situation in your sense: One dollar for me
is one dollar less for you. But it is also a typical "win-win-situation":
You pay me for the value I deliver to you.
Thus the situation between supplier and customer is typically highly
competitive and collaborative.
