competitividad: competitivity?

Non-PRO Spanish to English Marketing
Can't find competitivity in any Dictionary, so I guess it isn't a valid word in English. Any suggestions?

competitiveness


Whether in British or American, I would not hesitate to use "competitiveness", because it is found in many dictionaries (Webster's, etc.).

In a much simpler way, try to search the web for "competitiveness". I did so, and I found as many as 670,000 results. By the way, many of the sites were British.

The words exists, but is perhaps not very elegant! Perhaps you could open the phrase up by using something like 'competitive spirit', depending on the context.

Or perhaps your context is something like: "competitividad mundial/comercial/industrial." In that case, use just plain "competition" as part of a compound noun phrase: "world/business/manufacturing competition"

If not, then go with competitiveness
