Ac-cording to relations between functional effects of means of compensation, sources of compensation, and constituent factors of competitive capacity, the authors divided means of compensation into three types, namely, unbalanced compensation and balanced compensation, endogenous compensation and exogenous compensation, as well as radi-ated compensation and amplified compensation.
