Yeni IT-destekli
ağ pazarlamasında rekabet giderek globalleşmekte ve müşterilerin ihtiyaç ve
beklentileri hızla değişmektedir. Pazar bilgilerine erişilebilirliğin artması
ile hem alıcılar hem de satıcılar için web üzerinden rakip ürün ve hizmetlerin
kalitesi ve fiyatı hakkında bilgilere ulaşmak kolaylaşmıştır. Bu durum, küresel
olarak rekabet edebilmek için hem maliyet etkin hem de farklılaştırılmış bir şekilde
rekabet etmeyi gerekli kılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, rekabet güçleri ve bu
güçlerle başa çıkabilmek için uygulanan rekabet stratejileri detaylı olarak
açıklanmakta ve ayrıca İnternetin ve küresel rekabetin işletmelerin strateji
seçimlerindeki artan etkisi tartışılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, “Ortada Takılı
Kalma”nın IT-destekli ağ pazarlamasında bir tehlike oluşturmadığı ve küresel
rekabette başarılı olmak için gerekli olduğu fikri desteklenmektedir.
