Competition

Remaining competitive

The change also affects competitors: While in the past it was exclusively the classic industrialized countries, today it is countries like China that have become new competitors. Where do we stand in this competition? Where does your industry/company stand in this competition? And where is competition being distorted? We provide answers.
