What is market position?

I am doing research in Current Market position of Sainsbury Supermarket. Information about their target market, competitors, marketing strategy, consumer satisfaction and behaviours etc.

What is market position?
In relation to competitors
Reply:I should imagine they are referring to where they ( sainsburys ) are in the list of the top supermarkets, Tescos are in the top position at present where as Sainsburys used to be a few years ago.Many things are taken into account ,ie profit/turnover,share price,consumer opinions etc,Should be good fun,hope they give you a nice hamper for Christmas.
Reply:Look up Michael Porter (1985). He did a lot of work on this type of thing.





From memory, he did the model of 5 forces and also did work on market position of organisations.

You have an interesting question, because if I remember correctly, Sainsburys was one of the criticisms of Porters model in that it was both low cost and quality! - which went against everything Porter said!
