               CHAPTER 3 – COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE


               3.1  Consider the following four companies:

                     CDE is a designer with a world-wide reputation. It designs and sells high-priced
                     clothing, accessories and perfume to highly targeted markets.

                     DEF is the only mobile phone service provider in Country T.

                     EFG operates a number of discount stores across Country G. The products sold
                     in the stores are generally of low quality.

                     FGH manufactures a range of portable gaming devices. Its products are sought
                     after and loyal customers will pay high prices to be the first to own the latest
                     products developed by F.

                     Using the following strategies from Bowman’s strategy clock, match each
                     company to the strategy they would be most likely to adopt.


                           Low price/low value                              Differentiation





                         Focused differentiation                          Monopoly pricing

                     CDE is most likely to adopt _______________________.


                     DEF is most likely to adopt _______________________.
