Risks of Generic Competitive Strategies
Risks of Cost Leadership
Cost leadership is not sustained:• Competitors imitate.• Technology changes.• Other bases for cost leadership erode.Proximity in differentiation is lost.Cost focusers achieve even lower cost in segments.
Risks of Differentiation
Differentiation is not sustained:• Competitors imitate.• Bases for differentiation become less important to buyers.Cost proximity is lost.Differentiation focusers achieve even greater differentiation in segments.
Risks of Focus
The focus strategy is imitated:The target segment becomes structurally unattractive:• Structure erodes.• Demand disappears.Broadly targeted competitors overwhelm the segment:• The segment’s differences from other segments narrow.• The advantages of a broad line increase.New focusers subsegment the industry.
