The purpose of the article is to determine the methodological role of existing theories of competition for the study of complex socio-economic processes, phenomena and systems.
Results. The scientific views that became the basis of competition theory are noted. The reasons for the expansion of the subject area of competition theory research are identified. Comparison of classical and neoclassical paradigms of theoretical studies of the outlined domain is made. The need to systematize existing theories of competition has been established. The need to systematize existing theories of competition has been established.

Conclusions. The role of the considered concepts in the modern theory formation of competition is determined. It is established that the modern theory of competition is based on the classical and neoclassical stages provisions of the competition theory formation.

The recommendations formed by the results of the systematization will help to increase the level of economic relations efficiency.
