Intro: Why do businesses seek to
build or create a competitive
advantage?
Businesses generally seek a
competitive advantage to ensure
they perform well, even better
than their competitors. That is, a
business seeks to build its profit to
ensure it survives into the future.
Businesses also seek to build or
create a competitive advantage to
meet the changing demands of
the competitive global market.
Worksheet

Product Differentiation
To remain competitive businesses
sometimes need to differentiate
their product from those of their
competitors. This is called product
differentiation. By differentiating
their products businesses aim to
build brand loyalty with
consumers and that their product
stands out in a crowded market.
