you dont see Wendy's managers running over the McDonalds saying, "can you try our new hamburger out to get an idea of how people will like it when we put it on the market next month?"
companies usually pay for focus groups, and / or advice

In other industries there is competition, but there is also a good amount of cooperation that most people are not aware of. You will find that cooperation can produce a return for some companies. If you help out company A a bit, and company B a bit chances are they in turn would be more willing to help you out. I have worked for several companies that were in competition but still helped each other out. We would run out of a supply and the competition would loan us some until we could get some in. One of our machines would break down and they would either lend us one of their spares or do the work for us as a favor. We also worked cooperatively to solve problems that affected us both.
