If the largest competitor had a share of only 5%, the ratio would be
4:1, implying that the brand owned was in a relatively strong position, which might
be reflected in profits and cash flows. If this technique is used in practice, this scale
is logarithmic, not linear.
Frequency
Usually measured annually but perhaps more frequently in fast-moving markets.
Target setting/benchmarks
Targets can be gleaned from existing market research. Benchmarks can be gleaned
from articles etc. that explain how other organisations secured high relative market
share positions.
