whether a market leader or a follower or a participant, entrant in the
market always needs to look around and identify various players in the
industry who are challengers to it’s current market position or who

standards that the ability to maintain eye ball status with the competition
may get track two on the overall bandwidth.
A competitive
business environment demands an outlook beyond only price wars to the
