Are all firms impacted equally by the competitive conditions prevailing in the industry? If not, why not?

As the first decade of the 21st century drew to a close, the global automobile industry was facing unprecedented economic challenges. A deep recession had driven automobile sales down to levels not seen since the 1960s. Many long-established companies, including General Motors (GM), Chrysler, and Toyota, sought government aid to help them survive the downturn.

In contrast, Toyota, with $19 billion in cash on its balance sheet, looked well positioned to survive the downturn in good shape.
