Should my business follow the competition?

Many businesses follow market competition irrespective the difference in offerings. I have seen a lot of businesses go down by chasing the competition.
It is advisable to ensure that in a non differentiated goods and services market, you remain competitive. In a differentiated market, product differentiation makes individual suppliers unique in its offerings. Price differentiation also exist in a differentiated market.

Following the competition should be determined by the nature of the industry, products/service, and market condition. Increasing or decreasing price because other suppliers increased its price could be a dangerous strategy. Following the market could be a very dangerous strategy.
