List of Competitors

Competitors are companies that compete with your company in any way. It can be a product or service, but it can also be geographical area, industry segment or size of operation. The best way to list competitors is by using an industry matrix (see below).

List of Industries: A list of industries should include those that have similar products and services as you do; this will help you determine what other similar companies may exist in your area. It may also be helpful to consider how your industry differs from other related industries – for example, if one type of product could be classified as both a healthcare device and an IT solution provider but another type would only fall under one or the other category depending on whether it was “off-the-shelf” software versus custom built programs which require more extensive expertise than simply installing an operating system onto hardware components such as computers/laptops/phones etc..

Position with the industry

You should include information about your company’s position within the industry. List some of its competitors and give an overview of their products and services, as well as customers and suppliers.

Future Direction

You can use this section to describe how you see your corporation evolving over the next few years, and what opportunities exist for growth within it. You may also want to include information about recent developments within the industry or business environment that may help guide future decisions and actions.

In addition to describing what has happened so far, you should also consider how things will change in the coming months and years by looking at competitors’ strategies as well as potential threats from outside forces such as government regulations or economic trends.
