Hypercompetition is a phenomenon that has recently impacted markets everywhere. It is the state of rapid competition occurring in markets, which is often characterized by an unsustainable competitive advantage. In fact, many people believe that the concept of sustainable competitive advantage is no longer relevant. One of the main supporters of this idea and the man who coined the idea of hypercompetition is Richard D’Aveni, a professor of business strategy. He says that the idea of sustained competitive advantage is dead.
