1. Competitive advantage building blocks are superior innovation, flexibility, speed, quality, efficiency, and client responsiveness. Companies enhance their efficiency by minimizing the number of resources used in the production process (Jones & George, 2016). Organizations create new or improve existing services and products to reflect the changing tastes and preferences of the customer. Organizations train their staff to remain responsive to customers and provide quality services. Therefore, competitive advantage enables companies to outperform their competitors by producing desirable services and goods effectively and efficiently. In this context, managers are forced to utilize their expertise, skills, and company resources to improve and identify new ways to boost responsiveness to clients, innovation, quality, and efficiency of their operations.
