Competition leads to innovation and the creation of improved products. Also, competition and marketing lead to decreased prices. Both these factors increase a nation's standard of living.
When a big company buys or takes over another smaller company, competition is reduced, and customers have less choices.

Yes. Greater competition between firms/countries/... makes the productive capacity rise and will reduce costs. The rise in the productive capacity is mainly achieved by investing in new capital goods (or replacing the old ones). Of course this will reduce the labor needed (so less costs) and will increase efficiency in the end.

Political competition is generally beneficial as it fosters accountability, encourages diversity of ideas, and provides voters with choice. However, excessive competition can lead to polarization, gridlock, and a focus on short-term goals rather than long-term solutions. Striking a balance between healthy competition and collaboration is important for effective governance.
A disadvantage of competition can be the loss of local jobs, particularly in the manufacturing industry. As competition pushes prices of goods down firms may move offshore in search of cheaper labour in order to stay competitive. This can lead to some firms exploiting people in less developed countries and in extreme cases even child and or slave labour. Some industries do not lend themselves to competition. The main example commonly used is the supply of water to residential homes. It does not make sense to have multiple sets of pipes running to each home. In an industry such as this it is cheaper to have a monopoly firm, regulated by government to insure fair price and a minimal level of service.
European firms were the leaders in high-performance asphalt, tunneling, high-speed rail work, and marine construction.

Increasing competition can lead to the fact that the prices of these products are lowered by the producing companies involved.
Competition for resources, such as food or territory, is a biotic factor that can shape communities by influencing the distribution and abundance of species within an ecosystem. This competition can lead to the exclusion of certain species from the community or the dominance of others.
The growth of nationalism in the first half of the nineteenth century did not lead to increased cooperation among European nations, but to increased competition.

it is not the company which can be said as monopoly or oligopoly, these both terms refer to two different MARKET structures. therefore the retail industry of UK is said to have similar features as in oligopoly as there are some firms like Tesco, Sainsbury and ASDA which lead the market.
