What is a competitive analysis sheet?

If an organization wishes to evaluate the strengths and the weaknesses of its competitors, no matter they are the past ones, present ones or the potential competitors, the organization will have to prepare the competitive analysis sheet for this detailed analysis. This analysis is done by comparing different aspects of the business like strategic management skills, marketing skills, and key business skills.
