CMAT Business Competition Bible
Every venture must win customers from someone else. This chapter covers how a business builds a competitive edge — through quality, taste, location, ambience and customer relationships — and how to study competitors using company reports, websites and market data. It also explains competitive strategies and how small firms survive against large rivals. CMAT questions here are practical and example-based, such as what gives a coffee brand its edge, so focus on applying the ideas to real businesses.
