Strategies for Competitive
Advantage
 Differentiation – better, or at least
different
 Cost leadership – cheaper
 Quick response – more responsive
Competing on Differentiation
Uniqueness can go beyond both the
physical characteristics and service
attributes to encompass everything that
impacts customer’s perception of value

 Walt Disney Magic Kingdom –
experience differentiation
 Hard Rock Cafe – theme experience
Competing on Cost
Provide the maximum value as
perceived by customer. Does not imply
low quality.
 Southwest Airlines – secondary
airports, no frills service, efficient
utilization of equipment
 Wal-Mart – small overheads, shrinkage,
distribution costs
 Franz Colruyt – no bags, low light, no
music, doors on freezers
Competing on Response
 Flexibility is matching market changes in
design innovation and volumes
 Institutionalization at Hewlett-Packard
 Reliability is meeting schedules
 German machine industry
 Timeliness is quickness in design,
production, and delivery
