Portuguese term or phrase: quadros de menor concorrência
Hi,
I'm having trouble with the following section of a text about innovation, specifically in the field of naval construction and engineering, and its economic and social advantages... All suggestions are more than welcome! Thank you!

"A aposta na inovação tecnológica e em processos de grande especialização podem gerar quadros de menor concorrência no plano internacional e facilitar a inversão da tendência de declínio do sector."

In lesser competitive environments, some of our Free SEO program clients hit page one of the search engines for lesser competitive keywords.

Value chain management is advantageous for all firms, in all industries, sectors (services, manufacturing and distribution), customer segment (consumer, enterprise and wholesale) and in all types of competitive environments (even in lesser competitive environments, companies using this approach can further increase entry barriers).

less competitive frameworks


Explanation:
Muitas vezes, quando se fala de "quadro(s) de concorrência" em gestão/economia, existe uma referência implícita a este conceito formulado por Michael Porter: "competitive framework".
Não sei se o texto da Marta refere explicitamente Porter, mas de qualquer forma pode aplicar-se o conceito, que entretanto se tornou famoso e corrente.
