The Core Competence of the Corporation

Core competence refers to the unique strengths and capabilities of a company that give it a competitive advantage in the marketplace. These are the specific skills, technologies, or resources the company excels at and are difficult for competitors to imitate. They enable the company to deliver value to customers and differentiate itself from others. Think of it as what the company does best—like innovative product development, exceptional customer service, or efficient manufacturing—that helps it succeed and grow. Identifying and nurturing core competencies is essential for strategic planning and long-term success.
