Casual Articles - What Is Competitive Advantage?
Having been in the franchising industry for some time now, I always find it fascinating when a regulator arbitrarily decides that we need more laws.

Maybe they just want to insure j

The notion that competitive advantage is company specific is supported by Hay and Williamson (1991, p42), where they define the term as a, “deceptively simple idea of assessing a company’s capabilities and market position by how they give it advantage relative to competitors”. They bring forward the opinion that competitive advantage can only be found by making a comparison between a company and its competitors. This is further supported by Barney (1991, p99) who also brings in the concept of adding value, where he states, “a firm is said to have a competitive advantage when it is implementing a value creating strategy not simultaneously being implemented by current or potential competitors”.
Thus competitive advantage is unique to the company in question, it’s compatibilities, how it positions itself in the market and how it adds value to its customers. When identifying your company’s competitive advantage try assessing it by these factors above.

Rayport and Jaworski (2004) suggest as the focus of competition shifts from what companies do to how they do it, the new frontier of competitive advantage lies in the quality of interactions and relationships companies can establish with their customers and markets. In order to gain the most from advances in (Human) thinking as well as in new technology, they believe that a harmony must be found in the intelligent division of labour between man and machine. Thus a company may be able to achieve competitive advantage by differentiating how they interact with their customers.

No other pizza delivery company can offer such a service and so Domino’s has developed a differentiated competitive advantage through exploiting new customer interfaces.
Kim and Mauborgne (2004) introduce the concept of ‘Blue Ocean Strategy’ as a method of doing away with all competition. They split the business world into ‘red oceans’ and ‘blue oceans’. A red ocean is an existing and often over crowed market place, where competition is great. A blue ocean is a newly created uncontested market place, which makes all competition irrelevant. When it comes to creating blue oceans, Kim and Mauborgne (2004) believe that successful companies pursue differentiation and low cost strategies simultane
