- Implications for strategy:
- What strategies can the rival companies adopt to reduce competitive pressure and improve industry profitability?
- Which strategies do you recommend for your company to improve its competitiveness, position, and earnings?
- Identifying Key Success Factors (KSFs)—What are the KSFs of your company?
- See Figure 3.6. Who are the customers and what do they want?
- See Figure 3.6. How does the company survive competition?
