Definition Competitive Position. The Competitive Position is the relative level of dominance (or lack thereof) a firm has in its market compared to its competitors. For example, a firm might have as a target to become the market leader, or to grow from third to second place, in the market for peeled bananas.
Organizations strive to be market leaders in their given industry. In climates where factors such as recession, inflationary pressures and increased competition can hinder the achievement of this goal, companies look for strategies that lead to competitive advantages. One such strategy is the adoption of information systems within the company. Information systems help a company make adequate use of its data, reduce workload and assist with compliance with various mandatory regulations.
