[solved] Which of the following is an accurate interpretation of the overall competitive strength ratings that result from doing a competitive strength assessment (as illustrated in Table 4.3 and explained in the accompanying discussion)?

The higher a company's overall competitive strength score/rating the stronger is its competitiveness and ability to compete successfully against rival industry members; low scores signal weak competitiveness and probable competitive disadvantage compared to rivals with higher scores.

The company with the highest score/rating is excellently positioned to be the most profitable company in the industry while the company with the lowest score is likely to be the least profitable company in the industry.

The company with the highest score/rating has the greatest number of competitively valuable resources and capabilities while the company with the lowest score has the smallest number of competitively valuable resources and capabilities.

The company with the highest score/rating is excellently positioned to have the biggest market share in the industry while the company with the lowest score is likely to have the lowest market share in the industry.

High scores/ratings indicate which rivals are most vulnerable to competitive attack and low scores indicate companies with strong defenses against competitive attack.
