With companies like Compass Group and Valley Food Service offering similar services, bid wars are started and  are often quite close.

Scene 9

When the food service industry turns from having a glut of contracts up for bid, into one where buyers get caught in a bidding war for the few establishments available, strategy comes into play. When establishment( hospital, restaurant, school,etc) that fits all requirements are located, it’s best to write an offer quickly and make it attractive to the seller. It’s always best to avoid a bidding war at the onset, by making  purchase contract  convincing, which is the guidelines most industry follow.  (Couch, 2004).

Scene 10

According to Wang, Brabenec, Gao, & Tang (2021) “If a company embraces an aggressive business strategy, it is more likely to choose a conservative financial approach in terms of lower overall risks, but for the company with a competitive advantage, the negative correlation between these two strategies is weakened. As business strategy determines the long-term path and goals of companies, it can also help to achieve competitive advantage in various ways. Established academic strategic research categorizes business strategy into three types of actor based on the level of aggression: defenders, analyzers, and prospectors. Prospectors focus on developing new products and markets to gain competitive advantage; defenders focus on existing market and achieve competitive advantage by ensuring the best price and service; while analyzers function in ways in between that of prospectors and defenders. As business strategies determine the behavior of companies to achieve a competitive advantage, they also provide companies with different characters in terms of financial activity. “
