You have focused on the importance of understanding the competitive environment. You have also examined the link between competitive advantage and marketing strategies. Interestingly, a company may have a competitive advantage in its home country that may not carryover to other countries when the brand is launched globally. The converse is also true. Some companies may establish a competitive advantage in other countries that it does not realize in its home country. An example of this is KFC. In the United States, there are a number of fast food chains that rank higher in sales than KFC. However, KFC leads the Chinese fast food market.
