Levels of Competition Model

.jpg?raw=true) Figure 1: Lehmann & Winer's Levels of Competition Model for Physical Therapy Creating this model helped me gain more insight into the competitive landscape for physical therapy in my area by looking at the different levels of competition from both a geographical and service level perspective. This enabled me to identify potential opportunities where I could differentiate myself from others while still providing quality patient care. It also gave me better understanding how each competitor fits within the larger marketplace so I can adjust my strategy accordingly when marketing my practice or expanding into new areas.  For example, if there were any gaps in terms of coverage or services between what’s being offered by competitors then it might be beneficial for me focus on those areas so that customers have easier access to those treatments within our local community instead having search outside our geographic range for them . Overall I found Lehmann & Winer's Levels of Competition Model very helpful tool when analyzing potential markets before launching a business or expanding existing operations . Having said that though it does have certain limitations since it doesn't factor in customer preferences , price sensitivity , brand loyalty etc.. All these things should be taken into account when making decisions about entering new markets because they can influence consumer behavior significantly . Additionally , it’s important keep track changing dynamics over time since different players may enter and exit market which could alter your positioning strategy significantly . Ultimately if used correctly however , this practical tool can provide valuable insights by helping you gain greater understanding regarding your target audience as well as how best serve them effectively .
