Analyzing Competitive Advantages of Businesses with Examples

Competitive advantages can differentiate a business from its competitors. Some key competitive advantages include scale economies, where businesses reduce unit costs with higher volumes like Costco. Network economies, where a user's value increases as the user base grows, illustrated by Amazon. Counter positioning, adopting a superior business model that competitors can't mimic, as seen in Netflix vs Blockbuster. Switching costs, where customers find it more costly to switch to an alternative, for example, Constellation Software. And lastly, branding, where a business with strong branding enjoys higher perceived value, like LVMH's luxury purses.
