Competitive Advantage - ANSWERa firm that achieves superior performance relative to other

-Competitive advantage is always relative, not absolute.

-Create value which reflected by how much consumers are willing to pay for products - costs you
incur

-Price: price your customers pay

-Cost: cost you incur or pay for production/labor

Price- Cost= Profit

To assess competitive advantage, we compare firm performance to a benchmark - ANSWERCompare
firm to competitors in the same industry (performance of other firms in same industry)

Compare the firm to the industry average.

What must a firm do to create competitive advantage? - ANSWERProvide goods or services that
consumers value more highly than those of its competitors, OR are similar to the competitors' at a
lower price.

Sustainable Competitive Advantage - ANSWERa firm that is able to outperform its competitors or the
industry average over a prolonged period.

you need to sustain your strategy

,(Requires understanding of your market and competitors and how the world is evolving)

EX: Apple over Samsung in the smartphone industry

Competitive Disadvantage - ANSWERa firm that underperforms its rivals or the industry average

Occurs when the resource is not valuable, rare, easy to imitate, and there are substitutes --> cause
people to go out of business because no one values what they have and they aren't able to generate
revenue

Competitive Parity - ANSWERwhen 2+firms perform the same level

-If the resource is valuable, but not rare, it's easy to imitate and has substitutes

-Not earning much profit but we're able to recover the cost of producing product/service (typical for

which strategic leaders can recognize, prioritize, and address the stakeholder needs; helps the firm
achieve a competitive advantage while acting as a good corporate citizen

Key challenge of stakeholder strategy is to effectively balance the needs of various stakeholders and
ensure that its primary stakeholders (firm's shareholders and investors) achieve their objectives

Firm also need to recognize/address the concerns of other stakeholders (employees, suppliers,
customers) in an ethical/fair manner

3 important stakeholder attributes - ANSWER1. Power: when stakeholder can get the company to do
something that it wouldn't otherwise do.
