    Eduardo é o proprietário de uma academia já estabelecida há anos na cidade e encontra-se em uma situação desconfortável diante da abertura de uma nova concorrente, praticamente em frente ao seu empreendimento. A nova academia promete oferecer diferenciais que o empreendimento de Eduardo não oferece – equipamentos mais modernos, horários mais atrativos e climatização. A mensalidade anunciada pela nova concorrente é praticamente equivalente à praticada na academia de Eduardo. Diante do cenário que está sendo criado, ele terá que encontrar estratégias para lidar com a nova concorrente e manter o seu empreendimento viável. Palavras-chave: Estratégia. Estratégias genéricas.
