BL Ochman - What’s Next Blog

In “Subway v Quiznos,” BL Ochman illustrates worst-case practices in which sandwich chain Quiznos sabotages top competitor Subway by promoting a YouTube video contest in which contestants portray Quiznos as superior to Subway. In this instance, Quiznos lost an opportunity to create a “best practice” - and got sued in the process - when the company chose not to focus on what they do best to create value for their customers. Would your company ever sabotage competition in order to stay on top to gain market share?
