Advantage in competition. ( competitive advantage)

Explanation: Whenever a hospital is more equipped or fully equipped with tools, machines, and any other factor that favors the saving of lives, that hospital will mostly have the upper hand in competition against it's rivals.

A hospital less equipped with these kind of machines , especially those needed in critical moments like defibrillating someone who is experiencing cardiac arrest, will less likely be a first choice to treating patients of these nature.

competitive advantage

Explanation:

A competitive advantage refers to a condition that allows a company (e.g. St. Jude Medical) to offer better products than the competition at the same price, or offer similar products at a lower price.

In this specific case, St. Jude Medical is able to sell better products (mechanical heart valves, tissue heart valves, pacemakers, and implantable cardiovascular defibrillators) at similar prices than its competitors.

If a company offers a better product at a higher price, they do not have any type of competitive advantage. Competitive advantages result from higher efficiency and lower opportunity costs.
