Agenda
Why is business analytics needed?
• by first-to-market (via innovation)?
• by customer loyalty?
• by low-cost and low-price provider?
• Other?
But how sustainable are these long-term?
How does an organization gain a competitive edge?

Isn’t competition ultimately about cost leadership, differentiation, or focus?*
• cost leadership strategy – via improving process efficiencies, unique access to low cost inputs, vertical integration, avoiding certain costs, etc.
• differentiation strategy – via developing products and/or services with unique traits valued by customers.
• focus strategy – via concentrating on a narrow segment with entrenched customer loyalty.
But don’t each of these have risks today?

Problem: Generic strategies are vulnerable!
• cost leadership strategy – other firms lower their costs.
• differentiation strategy – imitation by competitors; changes in customer tastes.
• focus strategy – broad-market cost leaders or micro-segmenters invade and erode your customers’ loyalty.
The best defense is agility with quicker and smarter decision making using statistics, analytics, and operations research.
