Needs/risks1. ‘No frills’ Likely to be segment
specific2. Low price Risk of price war and
low margins; need to be price leader
Price-based Strategiese.g. Japanese automakers, Indian Pharma, etc.

Price-based Strategies•‘no frills’ strategy – combine low price, low perceived value product benefits and a focus on a price-sensitive segment
•Low price strategy – achieve a lower price than competitors while maintaining similar perceived value product benefits
•When – Commodity/ commodity-like, price-sensitive customers, high buyer power and/or low switching costs, small no. of providers with similar market shares, to avoid major competitors
•Pitfalls – margin reduction, inability to reinvest, useless without a low-cost base

Needs/risks3. Hybrid Low cost base and
reinvestment in low price and differentiation
4. Differentiation a) without price premium
Perceived value added by user, yielding market share benefit
b) with price premium
Perceived value added sufficient to bear price premium
5. Focused differentiation
Perceived value added to a particular segment, warranting price premium
Differentiation-based Strategies

Differentiation (Route 4)
•Differentiation strategy – Provide products benefits that are different form those of competitors and that are widely valued by buyers
•Implications – who is the strategic customer? What is valued? Who are the competitors?
![Page 8: Business strategy ppt](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545465f7b1af9fd80f8b4beb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Hybrid strategy (Route 3)
•Hybrid strategy – simultaneously achieve differentiation and a price lower than competitors
•Implications – Better margins if the greater volumes can be achieved than competitors; clarity on activities on which differentiation can be built; May prove to be beneficial when entering new markets with established competitors•E.g. IKEA

Focused differentiation (route 5)
• – provide high perceived product benefits justifying a substantial price premium (usually in a niche)
•Issues – How to grow further?; Difficult when adopted as only part of an firm’s overall strategy; may conflict with stakeholder expectations; potential risks (niche vanishes, segments blurred, etc.)•E.g. Harley-Davidson

Needs/risks6. Increased price/standard value
Higher margins if competitors do not follow; risk of losing market share
7. Increased price/low value
Only feasible in monopoly situation
8. Low value/standard price
Loss of market share
Strategies destined to fail

Failure Strategies (route 6, 7 and 8)
• – does not provide perceived value-for-money in terms of product features, price or both
•In addition, firms may get ‘stuck in the middle’ leading to failure

Sustaining Competitive Advantage
Price-based Strategies•Accept reduced margin•Win a price war•Reduce costs•Focus on specific segments
Differentiation•Create difficulties of imitation•Achieve imperfect mobility (of resources/competencies)•Reinvest margin
Lock in•Achieve size/market dominance•First-mover advantage•Reinforcement•Rigorous enforcement
![Page 14: Business strategy ppt](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545465f7b1af9fd80f8b4beb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Price-based Strategies•Accept reduced margins – sell more volume/ cross-subsidize that business unit from elsewhere in its portfolio. E.g. Targeting BOP•Win a price war– leverage on lower cost structure; ‘deep pockets’ to bear short- mid-term losses to drive out competitors. E.g. Wal-Mart•Innovate in reducing costs – leverage specific capabilities to drive down costs across the value chain; e.g. Airtel•Focusing on market segment – single minded focus
![Page 15: Business strategy ppt](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545465f7b1af9fd80f8b4beb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Differentiation-based Strategies
•Create difficulties of imitation - transferability, preferred access, situation dependent, sunk costs•Imperfect mobility– can the resources/ capabilities be traded? Intangible assets (brand/reputation), Switching costs, Co-specialization•Reinvest margin– Imp. to achieve and sustain lower cost position

Lock-in
•Lock-in- when a firm achieves a proprietary position in its industry; becomes an industry standard. E.g. Microsoft•Dependent on– size or market dominance, first mover advantage, self-reinforcing, rigorous enforcement
