The leader is like a large elephant being attacked bya swarm of bees.

The best way to defend is by focusing on“continuous innovation”:developing new product and customer services,distribution effectiveness and cost cutting.

MARKET CHALLENGER STRATEGIES

i. The market leader - make good sense if the leader is not serving the market well.

ii. Firms of its own size - that are not doing the job and are underfinanced

iii. Small local and regional firms

MARKET FOLLOWER STRATEGIES

Followers can achieve high profits because it did not bear any of the innovation expenses

4 Broad Strategies:i. Counterfeiter - duplicates the leader’s product and package and sell it on the black market or disreputable dealers. Example: pirate CDs, Rolex

ii. Cloner - emulate the leader’s products, name, and packaging with slight variations.

iii. Imitator - copies some things from the leader but maintain differentiation in

terms of packaging, advertising, pricing or location.

iv. Adapter - takes the leader’s products and adapts or improves them - may sell to different markets - adapters may grow into the future challengers.

MARKET NICHER STRATEGIES

Leader in a small market, or niche.

Even large and profitable firms use niching strategies forsome of their business.

Why niching is so profitable?

- Nichers know their target market very well that it meet their needs very much better than other firms

selling to this niche casually.

- As a result, nichers can charge a substantial price over costs. The nichers achieve high margin, whereas the mass marketers achieve high volume.
