[...] Competitor identification The spanning article refers to a market with identifiable competitors. The companies concerned are direct or indirect competition. That is to say the company can be in competition either with the side of the suppliers (in input) in order to have the best quality of products or with dimensions of the consumers (output) to have the most profitability and sometimes both; as is the case with Microsoft which spent 7.5 billion dollars to acquire ZeniMax, the parent company of Bethesda Soft Works, one of the largest video game publishers in the world and Amazon which formed an alliance with Sonic to allow consumers to pre-order the latest fashionable game consoles and the latest models or even in its purchase of 1 billion dollars in 2014 to have Twitch the most famous video game streaming platform in the world.
