 In this chapter, we are going to cover a little bit about competitive advantage, Porter's Five Forces Model, Porter's Three Generic Strategies and relationship between business process and value chain.

what is COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE ?


def :a product that an organization's customers place a greater value on than similar offerings from a competitor.
huh ??
it means an advantage that a company have which does not exist at other companies
eg: iPhone for an example have a very well-known brand due to its apps and the function itself make it as its competitive advantage compare to other hand phone's brand like Nokia and Motorola. However these competitive advantage is temporary because competitors keep duplicate the strategy.
