Quality as Excellence: Products are differentiated by attributes that collectively define product
excellence.
● First, it is important for managers to do market research collect information regarding
which of the attributes are most important to customers.
● Second, once the company has identified the attributes that a customer is looking for, it
needs to design its products and the associated services in such a way that it covers all the
attributes.
● Third, the company must decide which of the significant attributes to promote and how
best to position them in the minds of consumers, which creates a consistent image in the
minds of customers.
● Finally, it must be recognized that competition is not stationary, there should be
continuous improvement in product attributes, and often the development of new product
attributes.
