Description
This audio guide walks through a grounded way to think about business strategy—one that doesn’t rely on flashy jargon or endless complexity. Instead, it returns to practical questions: What market are we really in? Where do we have an advantage? How easy is it for others to copy what we do? And what choices will still make sense years from now?
Across eight chapters, you’ll explore competitive dynamics, barriers to entry, the main types of advantage, and a handful of game theory ideas that can help predict competitor behavior. You’ll also see why focus often wins, why execution matters as much as planning, and how stable success usually comes from a steady blend of strategic clarity and operational excellence.

- Teams trying to understand competitive advantage, barriers to entry, and market structure in practical terms
