1. In detail, explain why a company should not necessarily try to excel in all of them. Here's why it's not always advisable for a firm to strive to be the best in every single competitive priority: Conflicting Priorities: Some competitive priorities can competitive with one another. For illustration, concentrating on delivering the upmost quality for a custom might conflict with distributing the cheapest product quickly. Balancing such trade-offs efficiently when striving for excellence in all areas can be extremely challenging. Resource Constraints: Companies have limited resources, to include time, money, and personnel. Attempting to excel in every competitive priority could spread those resources thin leading to suboptimal outcomes in all areas of the operation. Operational Complexity: Operations geared towards one competitive priority might not exacted suited for another. Increased Risk: Striving for excellence across all departments might expose the company to risks in several areas, making it challenging to manage and reduce those risks effectively. Focus on Core Competencies: Companies often have core competencies or areas where they have inherent strengths. Diluting focus across all competitive priorities can divert attention and resources away from these competencies, eroding the company's competitive advantage. Organizational Burnout: Continually pressing the organization to be the very best in all areas can lead to employee burnout, decreased morale, and decrease turnover. 2. What determines the choice of competitive priorities that a company should emphasize for its key processes? Competitive priorities that a business ought to emphasize for its key processes are often influenced by numerous internal and external factors. Determining the right priorities entails a strategic understanding of the business's strengths, the market atmosphere, and its long-term goals. Ultimately, the optimal choice of competitive priorities must align with the company's overall strategy and its unique strengths and weaknesses. It's important to recognize that there may be trade-offs between different priorities, and not all priorities can be equally emphasized. Therefore,

companies should carefully evaluate and prioritize competitive factors that best place them for optimal success in their particular markets. References: Krajewski, L. J., & Malhotra, M. K. (2022).
