| | Competitor analysis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Competitor analysis in marketing and strategic management is an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of current and potential competitors. | | | In this example competitor #1 is rated higher than competitor #2 on product innovation ability (7 out of 10, compared to 4 out of 10) and distribution networks (6 out of 10), but competitor #2 is rated higher on customer focus (5 out of 10). | | | It might also indicate a new pricing strategy such as penetration, price discrimination, price skimming, product bundling, joint product pricing, discounts, or loss leaders. |

| | Industry Competitor Analysis |
| | One competitor analysis format should be used to analyze a single business; the other format should be used to analyze a company (or a division of a company) which competes in two or more businesses. | | | As additional information is collected on competitors, it is often appropriate to conduct an in-depth competitor analysis on one or more key competitors. | | | The competitor comparison table is an excellent method to compare your business with a few key competitors based on more than just revenue and market share data. |

| | Competitor Analysis |
| | A competitor analysis should include the more important existing competitors as well as potential competitors such as those firms that might enter the industry, for example, by extending their present strategy or by vertically integrating. | | | A thorough competitor analysis also would include assumptions that a competitor makes about its own competitors, and whether that assessment is accurate. | | | Other aspects of the competitor that serve as indicators of its objectives include risk tolerance, management incentives, backgrounds of the executives, composition of the board of directors, legal or contractual restrictions, and any additional corporate-level goals that may influence the competing business unit. |
