One way to judge the performance of a company is to compare it with other companies. This technique, commonly called "benchmarking," permits the manager of a company to discover better industrial practices and can provide a justification for the adoption of good practices.
Any of the following, if true, is a valid reason for benchmarking the performance of a company against companies with which it is not in competition rather than against competitors EXCEPT:
Comparisons with competitors are most likely to focus on practices that the manager making the comparisons already employs.
Getting "inside" information about the unique practices of competitors is particularly difficult.
Since companies that compete with each other are likely to have comparable levels of efficiency, only benchmarking against noncompetitors is likely to reveal practices that would aid in beating competitors.
Managers are generally more receptive to new ideas that they find outside their own industry.
Much of the success of good companies is due to their adoption of practices that take advantage of the special circumstances of their products or markets.
Firstly, I think we are looking for a choice that gives a valid reason to do benchmarking against "competitors" rather than finding a so-called choice for not using the benchmark.
Secondly, as the OG says that "Competing companies do share special circumstances involving products and markets.",hence, now that the success is due to the grasp of these circumstances, it is plausible to make benchmarking with competitors.
