3.1 Competition in a Free Market
In a free market, businesses can make a profit. Profit drives business; the more successful a business becomes, the more profit the owner keeps. (private property)
Competition is allowed and defines the structure of market
![Page 5: Chapter 3 The Competitive Market. Competition ZQAYrr5-Y ZQAYrr5-Y Iconic commercial:](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5697c0061a28abf838cc54d0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Four major market structures
Perfect competition - large # of small companies; nobody controls market
Agricultural Market, eBay Monopolistic Competition – large # of
companies; each of them has an opportunity for market control
Most products e.g. detergent, fast food Oligopoly - small # of large companies,
each with a substantial amount of market control
Banking Industry, Apple Micosoft Monopoly – a single company has complete
market control Hydro, Enbridge,

Benefits of Competition
Direct competition Products that are similar Consumers choose among products in the same

3.2 Competitive Advantage
Businesses look for advantages over their competition. A true advantage is one that is sustainable over the long term.
Sustainable competitive advantages: methods by which a business holds on to its customers, in spite of the competition (ideas?)
![Page 9: Chapter 3 The Competitive Market. Competition ZQAYrr5-Y ZQAYrr5-Y Iconic commercial:](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5697c0061a28abf838cc54d0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Sustainable competitive advantages
Create a unique selling proposition (USP) – patented design, licensed products
Lowering production costs: cost-efficient, high technology manufacturing systems
Servicing a niche market – keep competitors out of that market
Create customer loyalty – relationship marketing
![Page 10: Chapter 3 The Competitive Market. Competition ZQAYrr5-Y ZQAYrr5-Y Iconic commercial:](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5697c0061a28abf838cc54d0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Non-sustainable competitive advantages
Non-SP used by competitors to shift sales in their direction Promotion: “top of mind” Placement: more placement=more competitive
(Category Killer ) Quality: high quality vs boost sales by improvement CS Benefits of use: do more and better than other
products Price: all features being equal…price & reputation Design features: catch consumers’ interest – product
design

Activity!
Before entering a market, marketers must study the competition. One way of doing so is by preparing a competitive analysis of the sustainable and non-sustainable advantages that the major competitors have. In this activity, you will develop a comparative analysis for a marketer in the video game market.

Reputation
Important for a service business to maintain a good reputation because it does not have a tangible product to show the customer (word of mouth, professional reviews)
![Page 20: Chapter 3 The Competitive Market. Competition ZQAYrr5-Y ZQAYrr5-Y Iconic commercial:](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5697c0061a28abf838cc54d0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Price
If two services are similar, the business with the lower price has the competitive edge.
However, in some cases, consumers may question services with prices that seem ‘too low’.
Price depend on supply & demand
![Page 21: Chapter 3 The Competitive Market. Competition ZQAYrr5-Y ZQAYrr5-Y Iconic commercial:](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5697c0061a28abf838cc54d0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Product/Service Mix
Retail & wholesale businesses are part of the service sector, providing a service to both the consumer and to the manufacturer…
![Page 22: Chapter 3 The Competitive Market. Competition ZQAYrr5-Y ZQAYrr5-Y Iconic commercial:](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5697c0061a28abf838cc54d0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Competitive Market
Every new product introduced into the market has the potential to dislodge at least one product that is already there.
Businesses look at all the similar products in a category to determine the nature of the competitive market.
![Page 23: Chapter 3 The Competitive Market. Competition ZQAYrr5-Y ZQAYrr5-Y Iconic commercial:](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5697c0061a28abf838cc54d0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The Competitive Market

The amount of money consumers spend annually on these specific products defines the competitive market in dollars.
![Page 24: Chapter 3 The Competitive Market. Competition ZQAYrr5-Y ZQAYrr5-Y Iconic commercial:](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5697c0061a28abf838cc54d0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Sectors
What is a sector? A business sector is a closely related
group of products or services Also called a market segment
![Page 25: Chapter 3 The Competitive Market. Competition ZQAYrr5-Y ZQAYrr5-Y Iconic commercial:](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5697c0061a28abf838cc54d0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Measuring Results We compare within certain market
segments to understand how a company performs vs. the competitive set. (Direct Competition)
How it is Measured: Market Share – what % of the category
or sector sales is a certain brand Example: BRAND MARKET SHARE

Example:
59% market share Market leader – how
to sustain position over compeititors?
18% market share Market follower – how
to increase market share from leader?

International Competition
What do you think the impact has been of the internet with international competition?
Multinational Corporations Does business in more than one country Some large MNCs have budgets greater
than an entire country’s wealth! Trend of “micro-multinationals” = small
businesses enabled by technology

Competing in International Markets
Businesses use the same methods to compete in international markets that they use in domestic markets: promotion, placement, quality, benefits of use, price & design
Business must tailor its competitive efforts to the foreign market customs and preferences.

Culture
It is important to consider factors such as climate and religious beliefs when considering entering a foreign market.
For example, there is no market for Canadian pork in Pakistan or Egypt, as Islamic culture forbids eating this product.

The name Coca-Cola in China was first rendered as Ke-ke-ken-la. Unfortunately, the Coke company did not discover until after thousands of signs had been printed that the phrase means "bite the wax tadpole" or "female horse stuffed with wax" depending on the dialect. Coke then researched 40,000 Chinese characters and found a close phonetic equivalent, "ko-kou-ko-le," which can be loosely translated as "happiness in the mouth."

Named the sedan version of Golf the Jetta. However, the letter "J" doesn't exist in the Italian alphabet, so Jetta is pronounced "Ietta", which means Misfortune...
Volkswagen

Sells this workbench as the FARTFULL.
Swedish is a Germanic language, and "Fährt" is German for travel, so "fartfull" is being used here to suggest mobility. Swedish has several words for fart, but one of them is "Fjärt", which strikes as close enough that their marketing department knew what it was doing. If even bad press is good public relations, then this is a case of allowing an ill wind to blow some good.

Promotion - Distribution
Promotion is challenging in international markets. In many cases, a Canadian promotion may not translate well in other countries
Distribution of products in other countries can also be difficult. Canadian firms may set up their own offices in other countries, or they may enter into joint ventures.

Joint Venture
A Canadian firm and a foreign business with similar goals combine resources (money, facilities, distribution networks) to make or sell a specific product in another country
![Page 42: Chapter 3 The Competitive Market. Competition ZQAYrr5-Y ZQAYrr5-Y Iconic commercial:](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5697c0061a28abf838cc54d0/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Tariffs are taxes placed on goods being imported into a country in order to protect the local industries from too much foreign competition.
Marketers must also be able to calculate the landed cost of the product which takes into account the shipping costs and the currency exchange as well as tariff rates.
