Die Bedeutung des Wettbewerbs in Wissenschaft und Hochschule

Author

  • Dilger, Alexander

Abstract

Wettbewerb ist in vielen gesellschaftlichen Bereichen wie Wirtschaft, Politik und Sport, aber auch in Wissenschaft und Hochschule wichtig. Wettbewerb hat positive Wirkungen auf die Leistungen und Auswahl der Wettbewerbsteilnehmer gemäß den geltenden Wettbewerbskriterien. Deshalb kommt es auf wissenschaftsadäquate Kriterien an, zumal die Alternativen zum Wettbewerb große Nachteile haben.
