At Tekedia Institute, we identify four characteristics of great companies. These firms dominate their categories (i.e. sub-sectors in markets). For example, Dangote Cement is a category-king in Nigeria’s cement sector. Indomie Noodles is a category-king in the noodles sector. To become an enduring category-king, you must possess these four characteristics.
