- interfirm comparison
- Finsystematic and detailed comparison of the performance of different companies generally operating in a common industry. Companies participating in such a program normally provide standardized, and therefore comparable, information to the program administrator, who then distributes to participating members only the information supplied by participants. Normally the information distributed is in the form of ratios, or in a format which prevents the identity of individual program members from being identified.
