人民日报评论“外卖大战”：向下卷价格没有赢家 向上卷创新才有未来

Core Viewpoint - The recent subsidy war in the food delivery market is essentially a disguised price war, which may benefit consumers and increase orders temporarily, but ultimately leads to irrational consumption and diluted profits for merchants, as well as fatigue for delivery personnel. The focus should shift from downward price competition to upward innovation for a sustainable future [1] Group 1: Market Dynamics - The current competition in the food delivery market is characterized by a struggle for market share among platforms, involving supply chain management, technology, and operational capabilities [1] - The "explosive order" effect from low prices results in negative consequences such as reduced service quality and increased pressure on delivery personnel [1] Group 2: Innovation vs. Price Competition - Companies should prioritize technological and management innovations to lower production costs and provide consumers with higher quality and more cost-effective products [1] - Internet companies, which inherently possess innovative capabilities, are encouraged to broaden their vision and pursue higher goals beyond mere price competition [1]
