A shared mission is always good, if not necessary, but I think orgs with competing functions are pretty interesting

For their watches, Seiko pits two separate factories against each other, with the competition resulting in dozens of watch designs: https://www.everestbands.com/blogs/bezel-barrel/seiko-history-daini-vs-suwa-factories

Reminds me of F-32 vs F-35 and the JSF (joint strike fighter procurement program)
