Sustainable Competitive AdvantageIn marketing and strategic management, sustainable competitive advantage is an advantage that one firm has relative to competing firms. It usually originates in a core competency. To be really effective, the advantage must be: - difficult to mimic
- unique
- sustainable
- superior to the competition
- applicable to multiple situations
Examples of company characteristics that could constitute a sustainable competitive advantage include: The list of potential sustainable competitive advantage characteristics is very long. However there are some commentators that claim that in a fast changing competitive world, none of these advantages can be sustained in the long run.
