Go to Data Center Sheet, sort by Industry, and load competitors or industry composites
cross-sectional analysis
Identify an example of an industry that operates with low turnover ratios and high margins and another example of an industry that operates with high turnover ratios and low margins. In each case, explain the features of the industrys production technology that lead to these ratios.
Identify an example of a product differentiator and an example of a cost leader within a particular industry. In each case, try to select an example where the strategy is appropriately reflected in the turnover ratios.
Identify an example of a vertical integrator and an example of an outsourcer within a particular industry. In each case, try to select an example where the strategy is appropriately reflected in the turnover ratios
