Strategic offensives

It often is said that the competitive strategy of business and war have many features in common. Let's take a moment to look at competitive rivalry. Competitors, no matter the market, engage in competitive rivalry in order to gain an advantageous market position. This rivalry results in competitive action which is followed by competitive response. Businesses are mutually interdependent - they feel each other's actions and responses. A good example is the action and reactions of airlines in the domestic market. When one airline raises prices, other airlines do the same and vice versa.

Choose a global company or industry to analyze. Write an APA paper that analyzes and identifies options mounting strategic offensives with specific examples of tactics and illustrations of companies that have mounted offensive strategies as well as the identification defensive strategies with examples of tactics and illustrations of companies who have used defensive strategies.
