Hi,

Each case (even a competitive analysis) should have an objective. It can't be a competitive analysis just for the purpose of the analysis. So what's the objective of your case?

Competitive Response
Competitive response cases are a special type of case you might encounter in your case interview. In these cases, you either have to analyze how your client should respond to a competitor's strategy or predict how competitors will react to your client's strategy. This type of case helps you understand competitive dynamics better and develop effective strategies for competitive responses.
