Strategic Options<br />

There is wide strategic latitude in staking out a market<br />

position and striving <strong>for</strong> good per<strong>for</strong>mance … There’s<br />

no built-in bias that favors any one strategy:<br />

Companies can pursue a competitive advantage keyed to<br />

low-cost/low-price<br />

top-of-the-line camera quality and per<strong>for</strong>mance<br />

more value <strong>for</strong> the money (“good products at low prices”)<br />

Companies can have a strategy aimed at being the clear<br />

market leader in (a) entry-level cameras or (b) multi-featured<br />

cameras or (c) both<br />

Companies can focus on one or two geographic regions or<br />

strive <strong>for</strong> geographic balance or even global dominance<br />

Companies can pursue essentially the same strategy<br />

worldwide or craft slightly or very different strategies <strong>for</strong> the<br />

Europe-Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and North America<br />

markets<br />
