Competitive waste is the cost of competing as opposed to collaborating. Examples of competitive waste are:

Patents
Proprietary development and trade secrets. Standard product development where many independent agents make variations of the same product, as opposed to collaborating to increase the overall quality of the products.
Protectionism
Design for obsolescence
Advertising
Military establishment
