Most likely yes, but it all depends on the situation, market segment, size of the enterprise and many other factors. Competition is an unpleasant thing, forcing an entrepreneur to develop innovations, revise payroll and price lines, analyze the activities of other enterprises, come up with various advertising tricks, look for new sales channels, in short, survive. The ideal situation for any entrepreneur is the absence of competitors (i.e., a monopoly) with high consumer demand and a large number of suppliers, among whom there is no monopolist. It is precisely to achieve this result that the activities of some Russian lobbyists are aimed, calling under various pretexts to ban the import of certain foreign goods.

However, if competition exists and it is regulated in a certain way (for example, by antitrust law), the entrepreneur chooses one of several competitive strategies: special offer, low level costs/best price, a wide range of. When choosing a strategy to expand the assortment, the quality of the product/service may decrease, since the entrepreneur relies on the purchasing power of not the richest consumers and compensates for the unpretentiousness of the offer with a low price, as well as a set additional services, for example, bonuses on the card.

In small businesses, competition has almost no effect on price and quality. Let's imagine that you have a street pie shop. All proceeds go to taxes, purchase of raw materials, and wages. If there is a net profit, then most likely you are thinking about buying new equipment (the old one is irreversibly deteriorating) or opening a new point. That is, there is no profit at all in the academic sense, but only salaries to employees and a home investment fund. If someone nearby opened the same pie shop, then you, of course, will try to improve the work of employees, but you will have few options: work faster (almost has nothing to do with revenue growth) and work more (closing an hour later, which is also almost won't do anything). It’s difficult to change the quality of the ingredients (take different flour? knead the dough longer? add flavor improvers? make jam yourself?) A reduction in prices will directly hit either your salaries or your personal investment fund (you’ll have to give up the idea of ​​opening a new outlet).

However, in some small business segments there are segments where the margin (the difference between price and cost) is high. For example, you exclusively advise the mayor’s office on what flowers to plant in parks (this is an abstract example). No one knows how much such services cost; it is believed that this is some kind of super knowledge that costs a million rubles for one presentation. You are a rich man. And then another company comes and offers a price half as much. And you also fall. But this is rather an exception.

IN big business much depends on the macroeconomic situation (PEST or STEEP factors), currency prices, quality banking, the presence/absence of monopolists in the production chain, the presence of administrative and legislative barriers, the level of corruption, etc. But large companies have more room for maneuver, and it is from them that you should expect price flexibility.

What directly affects the price? High performance labor (cost reduction), new technologies, innovations, economies of scale, cost of bank loans. Partly - the high purchasing power of the population, that is, large revenues.

What directly affects quality? New technologies, innovations, the presence of external and internal standards, good management and design of manufacturing enterprise processes.

Thus, competition is one of the factors that can push an organization to improve processes, improve operations and reduce prices. Or maybe not push.
