Simplicable's Competitive Advantage Model
A Competitive Advantage Model is a useful tool for competitive analysis, strategy planning and building business cases.
The model is used to score your business against competitors in terms of economic fundamentals, business capabilities, cost leadership and product differentiation.
Example
Consider a railway company that has one unique line between a commodity rich region and an industrial region. The company's Competitive Advantage Model might look something like this:
The company has average employees, no special know-how and inferior technology to its competition. Despite this, it has a competitive advantage in terms of property, plant and equipment (no competition on a important rail route). This alone provides the company with competitive business capabilities, product differentiation and competitive advantage over its competitors.
