Problem: When it is difficult or impossible to out-strategize rivals (beat them with a superior strategy), what is the other main avenue to competitive advantage?
1) Do a better job of empowering employees
2) Outcompete them with superior internal operating systems and wiser policies and procedures
3) Beat them by developing the ability to perform certain strategy-critical value chain activities in superior fashion
4) Out-execute them with a more dynamic and modern corporate culture driven by cutting-edge use of e-commerce practices
5) Institute a more motivating and cost-efficient compensation and reward system
