Competitor Analysis
There are many service categories that are commonly provided by nursing homes (Tulenko, 2012). Among those are the activities that residents have and the care offered to those who are struggling with Alzheimer's or dementia. Many nursing homes have separate wings or locked wards for these particular residents (Tulenko, 2012). Other homes do not have such strong precautions, and some homes do not take these types of patients at all because of the rigorous effort it often takes to protect them properly. These are definitely two service categories with which many nursing homes struggle, and they are also among the categories where nursing homes compete with one another. They have to compete in order to stay in business, but some of the nursing homes simply have more resources than others. When they have more with which to work, they are better able to focus on the true needs of the patients, which can allow them to build a stronger reputation in the community. At that point, they are generally able to surpass the competition, at least in those particular service areas.
Healthcare organizations in general have numerous service area factors (Tulenko, 2012)....
For walk-in clinics, there are several areas that could be used to provide a competitive advantage. These clinics are designed to help people avoid the ER, and what they can offer in the way of diagnostic testing can help them compete with one another (Tulenko, 2012). Additionally, they can compete in the wait times they have compared with other clinics. The shorter the wait to see the doctor, the more people will come to that clinic. The wait time and the hours they are open are two consumer factors that matter a great deal when it comes to being competitive. When considering service area factors, the number of tests they are able to do and the number of doctors they have who can specialize in something and provide a more comprehensive level of care for patients both matters a great deal. These are areas that can greatly affect whether a person would use that clinic or seek out a different one.
There are numerous barriers to conducting an effective competitor analysis (Porter, 2008). Three of these would be: (1) a lack of sufficient information by which to compare the two companies, (2) a lack of true competitors in the same market or local area, and (3) a lack of…

This is especially unusual given that the FedEx appears to be weathering the current economic crisis much better than UPS is. They have better control over their cost structure and have been able to reduce their debt. UPS, on the other hand, has more volatile earning and cost figures and has seen a dramatic increase in leverage in recent years. The most likely factor is that UPS pays a
