Discussion 4 - Competitive advantage You have learnt about the various strategies that companies undertake to create their competitive position in the marketplace. Using the concepts learnt in this chapter, apply it to a company of your choice as you answer the following questions. Please provide citations for all the research using your textbook and scholarly resources (minimum one source other than your textbook) as references. Please refrain from asking any questions from others on Sunday. Last day is only for responding to questions asked by your classmates. 1) Each student - list a publicly traded company/business listed on TSX, it's top competitive advantage and an example that demonstrates that advantage using some of the concepts outlined in the chapter (key ratios or resource analysis or value chain analysis or benchmarking) As before, the first students to post will have the easiest time. If someone already posted a company then others can not use the same company (i.e. New Company per student). Reply to one of the following: 2) Reply to at least one of the above postings and add some insight or additional info. This discussion is worth 3 marks (2 marks for your original post and 1 mark for replying to someone else). "I agree" or "Great post" is not counted as a reply and will get no marks. The reply posts should add to the discussion. If someone is asking a question then reply to that question before the quiz closes as it might impact your original post grade. So, make sure you check the discussion room on the last day
