What distinguishes core competencies from competitive advantages?

Core competencies and competitive advantages are both crucial for a company's success, but they serve different roles. Core competencies are the unique strengths and abilities that a company possesses, which are central to its identity and operations. They form the foundation of the company's competitiveness. On the other hand, competitive advantages are specific skills or knowledge that a company has, allowing it to outperform its competitors and gain a significant presence in multiple markets. In essence, core competencies are about what the company is, while competitive advantages are about what the company does better than others.
