What drives competitive analysis the most for the automobile industry? Market commonality or resource similarity? Why?
Standard cycles are more comfortable because a firm operating either fast or slow has much scope of flipping and might not be the same all the time and face more risks which is not the case with standard market cycles and hence they are more preferable.Resource similarity can be overcome by innovative strategies in manufacturing . Market commonality is an important factor because common markets cause the distribution of customers and the industry might loose some customers which means they might loose the competition. Hence market commonality drives competitive analysis the most.
