The answer is a. current strategy, financial health, market share, resources and capabilities.

Explanation:

In other options we see answers like Assumptions, driving forces and objectives. These are needed if we need to get an idea about the competitors culture, functioning and operations and are often related with the long term understanding of the competitors.

the correct answer is economics is a game without winners or losers.

unlike sports or games economic is a game without losers or winner rather it is a game where everyone wins. parties of business doing businesses exchange money with each other and hence exchange is done on the basis of goods. one party takes the goods and other sales it so there is winner on both sides. each party values more highly the good it gets than the good it gives up. both sides exchange only because both intend to increase their value. so there is no concept of lose or win.
