In the initial stages of the Internet, Newspaper publishers hesitated to react when free news became available online. They believed that news given on paper once would continue to be paid for by consumers. They lost their competitive edge because they failed to keep up with the advancements and benefits of the Internet.

 

Step one in gaining a competitive advantage is figuring out your competitors. Competitors are more than just identical businesses or products. Newspapers believed their competitors were other newspapers till they eventually discovered it was the Internet. They were at a loss on how to keep up with a free, real-time news source.

 

Step Towards Competitive Excellence

 

In 1985, a Harvard Business School professor named Michael Porter wrote a book called "Competitive Advantage." This book is like the ultimate textbook for businessmen, teaching them how to make their companies stand out and stay strong.

 

In the book, Porter said that for a company to do well, it needs to set clear goals and plans.. Porter did a bunch of research on different companies and found out that there are three main ways they become successful and stay that way:

 

  • Being the most affordable (cost leadership)
  • Differentiating themselves from competitors (differentiation)
  • Concentrating on a particular consumer base (focus)

 

Companies are likely to enjoy a competitive advantage if they, for instance, advertise a product at a cheaper price than a competitor's comparable product. This also applies if the marketed product is more expensive but has unique characteristics that buyers are ready to pay extra for.

A company that enjoys a competitive advantage can generate higher profits.

To gain an advantage in the marketplace, a company must give an obvious benefit to its customer base that is better compared to what its competitor offers. This value originates internally, separating the company from the competition.  An organization must show that it has a higher comparable or differential value than other companies and communicate this knowledge to its intended consumer base to acquire and preserve a competitive advantage.
