Paradox of competition

Paradox of competition is when companies competing against each other actually do better when they work together. It's like trying to jump higher but when you get someone to hold your feet while you jump, you can jump even higher. Working together takes advantage of both companies' strengths to create something bigger and better than either company could do individually. That's the paradox of competition.
