“…We find that negative results of the Covid-19 crisis may be buffered by shifts in women entrepreneurs' strategic orientation (Grimes, 2018). While the entrepreneurial ventures have achieved higher levels of joint R&D resources, joint procurement of Specialized knowledge and advanced technology, joint marketing and branding, and entrepreneurial product development through collaborative competition (Prasad & Tanase, 2021;Sekhavat, 2020). Also, our findings indicate that entrepreneurial ventures which started with predominantly commercial motives may engage in collaborative competition in the face of external pressures, such as COVID-19 (López-Torres et al, 2021).…”

“…Research studies have revealed that collaborative educational environments, along with competitive educational environments, can contribute to the enhancement of various types of skills (Pareto et al, 2012). Furthermore, there is evidence suggesting that competitive reinforcement may have a more significant impact on the gaming experience of players compared to collaborative approaches involving positive and negative reinforcement (Sekhavat, 2020). Nevertheless, the effects of combining competition and collaboration, as well as how to effectively utilize the benefits of competitive reinforcement in collaborative-competitive serious games (CCSG), remain uncertain (Buchinger & da Silva Hounsell, 2018).…”

Gamification encompasses the utilization of "playful" or "game-like" elements within non-gaming contexts. It finds diverse applications, primarily within the realms of education/training and the workplace, with the aim of enhancing teamwork and productivity. Nonetheless, the concept of gamification remains a topic of significant debate. Several authors caution that gamification may undermine intrinsic motivation to learn or perform, particularly among younger audiences. Furthermore, the research community increasingly emphasizes potential negative consequences resulting from specific gamification mechanics, such as competition. In this article, we present an approach to gamification that combines competitive elements, albeit at the level of student groups rather than individuals. The idea is to minimize the exposure of underperforming individuals while capitalizing on collaborative group dynamics, wherein stronger students provide support to weaker ones. We conducted a quasi-experiment, comparing motivation and performance between a gamified classroom scenario and a conventional, non-gamified scenario. The results indicate that the proposed gamification approach boosts motivation and performance in contrast to the non-gamified condition. These findings contribute to a deeper comprehension of the effects of gamification and offer a realistic perspective on its beneficial impacts within educational settings.

“…Finally, since the benefits of cognitive training might only be noticed in the long term, healthy competition is greatly appreciated as it can positively affect patients psychological well-being and promote social networking. To this aim, authors can opt for the implementation of rewards systems, which allow patients not only to be aware of their performance and progresses but also to share their results with their friends [236], or multiplayer platforms stimulating competition, as multiplayer racing games [139].…”
