Different anti-depression methods work for different people. Both types of treatment work on only a subset of all depressed patients and the two different subsets only partially overlap. If patterns in the brains of depressed patients could be found that show how depressed patients differ from each other it might be possible to discover markers for which type of therapy is most likely to work. Some day depressed patients may have their brains scanned to determine what type of anti-depressant treatment has the best chance of working for each patient. (Mental Health, intervention roulette)

Competitive advantage is a business concept describing attributes that allows an organization to outperform its competitors. These attributes may include access to natural resources, such as high grade ores or inexpensive power, highly skilled personnel, geographic location, high entry barriers, etc. New technologies, such as robotics and information technology, can provide competitive advantage, whether as a part of the product itself, as an advantage to the making of the product, or as a competitive aid in the business process (for example, better identification and understanding of customers)... Michael Porter defined the two types of competitive advantage an organization can achieve relative to its rivals: lower cost or differentiation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Competitive_advantage see also moat

David Ricardo (18 April 1772 – 11 September 1823) was a British political economist. He was one of the main thinkers behind Classical economics, together with Thomas Malthus, Adam Smith and John Stuart Mill.[2][3] Today, he is mostly known for his theory of comparative advantage. This theory suggests that a nation should concentrate its resources only in industries where it is most internationally competitive and trade with other countries to obtain products not produced nationally. Ricardo promoted the idea of extreme industry specialization by nations, to the point of dismantling internationally competitive and otherwise profitable industries. In this thinking Ricardo assumed the existence of a national industry policy aimed at promoting some industries to the detriment of others. For Ricardo some form of Central Economic Planning was a given. https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Ricardo
