Overview: This paper explains the important use of competitive analysis, which is to gather valuable information for Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A), to find companies that would make good potential acquisitions for or purchasers of your company. This same activity can have a different outcome from an actual merger or acquisition. It could be "M&A lite," such as a strategic alliance or partnership that strengthens your product in a new sales channel or adds competitive functionality. And looking for new functionality, then figuring out how to put it in the product, whether by developing it internally, embedding another company's technology, or partnering, falls right smack into the area of responsibility of a Product Manager.
