Benchmarking
BENCHMARKING
Benchmarking involves a structured comparison between similar products, services or processes on some dimensions of performance.
Eg: It can be used to compare the availability and delivery of features in a product.
Why Benchmarking is important?
Benchmarking helps organizations to identify the areas where the gap between their standard and that of the industry is the largest. This helps organizations to prioritize the areas that they need to work on.

WHY SUB-COMPACT SUVs?
Small SUVs are often attractive to people who live in cities but don't want a four-door sedan. A compact SUV allows a person to sit higher behind the wheel but still be able to park easily and navigate through busy streets. The same goes for anyone who has to find parking in a busy area and regular spaces.
