竞争战略往往被搞得很复杂，事实上，如果你真正了解所属行业的竞争结构，正确的战略通常只是围绕着一个问题的答案而发展出来的。这个问题是：有什么进入市场的障碍，能够让我们做到其他公司做不到的事情？

如果答案是“没有”，那么问题其实不在战略。因为公司没有竞争优势，就只能面对两种选择：要不就积极追求高度的运营效率，要不就选择退出目前的市场，进入你可以创造并充分运用竞争优势的不同领域。

Bruce Greenwald, one of the nation’s leading business professors, presents a new and simplified approach to strategy that cuts through much of the fog that has surrounded the subject.
