Best Answer

TO compete, in business, means generally to have a good or service which is an acceptable substitute for another company's good or service.

To compete successfully usually means that you're taking market share, or customers away from other firms.

In some cases the substitution product is obvious, like Coke versus Pepsi. In other cases the substitute product is less obvious, like AmTrak Rail service, versus Greyhound Bus or Southwest Plane service.

In other cases, the substitute good results in a full paradigm shift... like the telephone replacing courier pigeons or messengers.
