DEFINITION OF THE SECTOR

Firstly, a company should work out the sector it belongs to. For economists, the sector is a group of companies that create a market. According to this, when we define the market that we want to belong to, we need to make some limits, that's to say, where does the relavant market (our market) end.

A company should study its sector and should ensure that they can mark the limits to where they can compete, be it physically or in a productive capacity. The company doesn't necessarily have to be concise in signalling its limits in the sector or market, as a change in external conditions could favour the company's strategy.
