Why should you know your customers and competitors?

This is the most fundamental for you to know even before starting a business that  who could be your possible customers and the competitors. Lacking of this information shall lead you to the total failure of the business process.  Without detailed knowledge about your customers and competitors you can never know the exact market DEMAND and SUPPLY and your position in the market to capture any share of it. You cannot even analyze SWAT, the STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES, OPPORTUNITIES and THREATS  of either organization in the business process. You cannot even compare your abilities with your competitors. You cannot PLANOUT even an inch ahead to move without their information. It will be a blind move with entire failure if having no knowledge about the both. WHAT do you need to know about them is another topic.
