A competitive advantage is what makes a company or individual better than their competition. Coke Cola secret recipe, Apple’s intellectual properties, and Googles innovation are all examples of competitive advantages they have over the competition. Domino’s supply chain was a ground breaking innovation that has its own supply chain center (SCC), which consists of 16 food supplies and dough manufacturing centers in the US along.

The World Resource Center is intended to create talented managers (Harvard Business Review, 2018). Furthermore, the SCC creates a competitive advantage due to the fact that it permits franchisees stores to have control over the costs, and reduce the risk of global commodity price changes.

There is an a class-action lawsuit on Naked Juice for using phrases like “100% Fruit,” “All Natural,” “All Natural Fruit” and “Non-GMO” on their packaging. Studies have found that, not only were the products not all-natural, some of Naked Juice’s products were made with genetically altered soy. Naked Juice decided to pull the “All Natural” labels from the bottle and paid $9 million to settle the suit. When
