A competitive advantage enables a company to differentiate its product or service from those of its competitors, but the competitive advantage needn't be tangible, such as high-tech machines or satellite systems. Bloomberg Businessweek magazine recently described teams of empowered workers at a GE airfoils plant in Greenville, South Carolina. The teams run computer-controlled machine tools, interview prospective team members, and adjust assembly lines to maximize production.For GE, the workers skills and dedication are competitive advantages; they produce the quality and productivity that make GE an aerospace leader. Similarly, Apple's reputation for innovation reflects its competitive advantage in creative and brilliant engineers. Thus, the best competitive advantage is often human capital knowledgeable, skilled, engaged employees working hard and with self-discipline.
