COMPETITIVE STRATEGIES
Page | 1
Cost leadership strategy is difficult to implement for small scale businesses as it
involves making long term commitment for offering products and services at
lower prices in the market. For this purpose, firms need to produce products at
a low cost otherwise it will not make a profit.
Conclusion
The company has attained a distinct position in the industry through its
competitive strategy which is innovation and premium pricing policy. Apple has
a consistent practice of developing new products and its ability to make
products complement each other and strengthens customer loyalty and helps in
creating a barrier for competitors in the market.
Since the company has been charging high prices to its value-added product it
seems to adopt a differentiation leadership strategy that says that a product is
able to differentiate itself from other similar products or services in the market
through superior brand quality.
