When a firm aims to underprice competitors and win market share, it is using a(n) ________ strategy that requires relatively less marketing skills as compared to other strategies. A. focus B. overall cost leadership C. product differentiation D. price skimming

Respuesta :

Answer:

B. overall cost leadership

Explanation:

This term refers to the absolute lowest cost of manufacturing in an industrial sector. It is concerned with pricing, not with market leadership.

The correct answer is letter B

This kind of strategy consists of achieving leadership in total cost in an industry through a set of functional policies geared towards this goal.

Examples of decisions focused on achieving total cost leadership:

aggressive construction of facilities on an efficient scale;

vigorous pursuit of cost savings from experience;

strict control of costs and overheads;

minimizing cost in areas such as R&D, assistance, sales force, advertising.

A low-cost position produces above-average returns for the company in its industry, despite the presence of intense competitive forces.
