Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mobility barriers refer to factors that inhibit the movement of companies between strategic groups in an industry. These barriers could be related to technology, brand identity, distribution channels, or other factors that create a competitive advantage for companies within their strategic group. By inhibiting the movement of companies between strategic groups, mobility barriers make it harder for companies to escape competition within their current group and limit their options for growth and profitability.
