1. Benchmarking Enterprises

Benchmarking enterprises refer to other enterprises that provide the same or similar products or services with enterprises in the same market or industry, meet the same or similar consumer needs, and compete for the same or similar market resources. The purpose of identifying benchmarking companies is to narrow the scope of analysis, identify the most direct and important benchmarking companies, and avoid neglecting or paying too much attention to certain benchmarking companies. There are several methods for identifying benchmark enterprises:

基于市场份额的方法。这种方法是根据企业在市场上的销售额或销量占比，来划分标杆企业的强度和重要性。一般来说，市场份额越高的标杆企业，越具有竞争优势和影响力，越值得关注和分析。市场份额的数据可以通过市场调研、行业报告、财务报表等渠道获取。

基于战略群的方法。这种方法是根据企业在市场上的战略定位和目标，来划分标杆企业的相似度和差异度。一般来说，战略定位和目标越接近的标杆企业，越具有竞争潜力和威胁，越值得关注和分析。战略定位和目标的数据可以通过市场调研、行业报告、企业官网等渠道获取。

基于消费者认知的方法。这种方法是根据消费者对企业和标杆企业的认知和偏好，来划分标杆企业的替代度和互补度。一般来说，消费者认为越能替代或互补的标杆企业，越具有竞争力和吸引力，越值得关注和分析。消费者认知和偏好的数据可以通过市场调研、社交媒体、口碑评价等渠道获取。

以尚普咨询公司为例，其主要业务是提供企业管理咨询服务，包括战略规划、组织变革、人力资源管理、营销策略等。尚普咨询公司在确定标杆企业时，可以采用以下步骤：

First, based on the market share approach, Champ Consulting can identify other companies that provide the same or similar consulting services in the Chinese market, such as McKinsey, Boston Consulting, Deloitte, PricewaterhouseCoopers, etc., which are potential benchmarking companies for Champ Consulting.

Secondly, according to the strategic group method, Shangpu consulting company can further subdivide the strategic positioning and objectives of these benchmarking enterprises. For example, McKinsey and Boston Consulting Group are mainly high-end strategic consulting, mainly serving large enterprises and government agencies, while Delois and PricewaterhouseCoopers are mainly comprehensive consulting, mainly serving small and medium-sized enterprises and private institutions, These companies are the direct benchmarking enterprises of Shangpu consulting company.

Finally, according to the method of consumer cognition, Shangpu Consulting Company can further understand the consumer's cognition and preference to these benchmark enterprises. For example, McKinsey and Boston Consulting Group are considered by consumers as leaders and authorities in the consulting industry, with the characteristics of high quality and high price, while Deloitte and PricewaterhouseCoopers are considered by consumers as followers and doers in the consulting industry, with comprehensive and practical characteristics, these companies are important benchmarking companies for Champpe Consulting.

Through these steps, Champ Consulting can identify its most direct and important benchmarking companies, thereby narrowing the scope of analysis and improving the efficiency of analysis.

2. collection of benchmarking enterprise information

Benchmarking enterprise information refers to all kinds of data and information about benchmarking enterprises, including the background, products, prices, channels, promotions, services, finance, strategy, culture, organization, personnel, technology, innovation, reputation and so on. The purpose of collecting benchmarking enterprise information is to obtain a comprehensive and accurate portrait of the benchmarking enterprise, understand the advantages and disadvantages of the benchmarking enterprise, predict the behavior and strategy of the benchmarking enterprise, and evaluate the threats and opportunities of the benchmarking enterprise. There are several methods for collecting information on benchmark companies:

methods based on open sources. This method is through the use of open information channels, such as the Internet, media, reports, exhibitions, conferences, recruitment, patents, trademarks, etc., to obtain the information of benchmark enterprises. The advantages of this method are large amount of information, easy access and low cost, while the disadvantages are information quality, update lag and lack of depth.

Methods based on private sources. This method is through the use of private information channels, such as suppliers, distributors, customers, employees, partners, industry associations, consulting agencies, etc., to obtain the information of benchmarking enterprises. The advantages of this method are high quality of information, timely update and depth, while the disadvantages are small amount of information, difficult to obtain and high cost.

active survey-based approach. This method is to obtain information about benchmarking enterprises by actively designing and implementing some survey activities, such as questionnaires, research, observation, trial purchase, trial, etc. The advantage of this method is that the information is highly targeted, controllable and credible; the disadvantage is that the information is highly sensitive, risky and legal.

In the case of Shangpu Consulting, for example, the following steps can be used to collect benchmarking enterprise information:

First of all, according to the open source method, Shangpu consulting company can obtain the basic information of benchmarking enterprises from the network, media, reports, exhibitions, conferences and other channels, such as background, products, prices, channels, promotion, service, finance, strategy, etc., and establish the basic files of benchmarking enterprises.

Secondly, according to the method of private sources, Shangpu Consulting can obtain in-depth information of benchmarking enterprises from suppliers, distributors, customers, employees, partners, industry associations, consulting agencies and other channels, such as culture, organization, personnel, technology, innovation, reputation, etc., and establish in-depth files of benchmarking enterprises.

Finally, according to the active survey method, Shangpu Consulting can design and implement some survey activities, such as questionnaires, research, observation, trial purchase, trial, etc., to obtain the dynamic information of benchmarking enterprises, such as behavior, strategy, reaction, change, etc., and establish the dynamic file of benchmarking enterprises.

Through the above steps, Champ Consulting can collect comprehensive and accurate information about benchmarking companies, thus providing data support for subsequent analysis and response.

3. Analysis Benchmarking Enterprise Information

Benchmarking enterprise information analysis refers to sorting, summarizing, comparing and explaining the collected benchmarking enterprise information by using some analysis tools and methods, such as SWOT analysis, Porter's five forces model, value chain analysis, core competitiveness analysis, benchmarking enterprise response analysis, etc., so as to understand the advantages and disadvantages of benchmarking enterprises, predict the behaviors and strategies of benchmarking enterprises, and evaluate the threats and opportunities of benchmarking enterprises. The purpose of benchmarking enterprise information analysis is to extract the core characteristics and key factors of benchmarking enterprises, so as to provide a basis for formulating their own competitive advantages and countermeasures. There are several methods of benchmarking enterprise information analysis:

SWOT分析。这种方法是根据标杆企业的内部环境和外部环境，来分析标杆企业的优势（Strengths）、劣势（Weaknesses）、机会（Opportunities）和威胁（Threats），从而得出标杆企业的综合评价和发展趋势。SWOT分析的优点是简单易懂、全面客观、适用广泛；缺点是过于静态、缺乏量化、存在主观性。

Porter’s Five Forces model. This method is to analyze the five competitive forces faced by benchmarking enterprises according to the industry environment in which they are located, namely, benchmarking enterprises (Rivalry), potential new entrants (New Entrants), substitutes or services (Substitutes), suppliers (Suppliers) and buyers (Buyers) in the industry, so as to obtain the competitive pressure and competitive advantage of benchmarking enterprises. Porter's five forces model has the advantages of comprehensive system, clear logic and strong guidance, while the disadvantages are too theoretical, ignoring other factors and dynamic.

Value chain analysis. This method is based on the value creation process of benchmarking enterprises to analyze the main activities and support activities of benchmarking enterprises, that is, the main activities include internal logistics, production, external logistics, marketing and sales, after-sales service, support activities include procurement, technology development, human resources management, infrastructure, so as to obtain the value chain structure and value chain advantages of benchmarking enterprises. The advantage of value chain analysis is that it is detailed, focused and conducive to comparison; the disadvantage is that it is too complex, difficult to obtain data, and there are differences.

Core Competence Analysis. This method is based on the core resources and capabilities of the benchmarking enterprise to analyze the core competitiveness of the benchmarking enterprise, that is, the resources and capabilities that provide unique value to customers, are difficult to be imitated or replaced by the benchmarking enterprise, and can be applied to multiple markets or products, so as to obtain the core advantages and core problems of the benchmarking enterprise. The advantage of core competitiveness analysis is that it highlights the essence, is conducive to innovation, and contributes to sustainability; the disadvantage is that it is difficult to define, easy to blur, and there is variability.

Benchmarking enterprise response analysis. This method is based on the historical behavior and current situation of the benchmark enterprise, to analyze the response tendency and response ability of the benchmark enterprise, that is, the degree and speed of the benchmark enterprise's response to market changes or competitive actions, so as to obtain the response characteristics and response strategy of the benchmark enterprise. The advantages of benchmarking enterprise response analysis are dynamic real-time, accurate prediction and effective guidance; the disadvantages are information sensitivity, uncertainty and interference.

In the case of Champ Consulting, for example, the following steps can be used to analyze benchmarking enterprise information:

First of all, according to the SWOT analysis, Shangpu Consulting can analyze the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats of its direct benchmarking enterprises from four aspects, such:
