Author Michael Porter introduces one of the most powerful competitive tools yet developed: his three generic strategies - lowest cost, differentiation, and focus - which bring structure to the task of strategic positioning. He shows how competitive advantage can be defined in terms of relative cost and relative prices, thus linking it directly to profitability, and presents a whole new perspective on how profit is created and divided. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMore than a million managers in both large and small companies, investment analysts, consultants, students, and scholars throughout the world have internalised Porter's ideas and applied them to assess industries, understand competitors and choose competitive positions. COMPETITIVE STRATEGY has filled a void in management thinking. It provides an enduring foundation and grounding point on which all subsequent work can be built. Porter's rich frameworks and deep insights comprise a sophisticated view of competition unsurpassed in the last quarter-century.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56296616788341,"sku":"9780743260886","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780743260886_7252702b-04dc-426d-a3b6-321e567cb96c.jpg?v=1786014868"},{"product_id":"9780743260879","title":"Competitive Advantage","description":"COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE introduces a whole new way of understanding what a firm does. Porter's groundbreaking concept of the value chain disaggregates a company into 'activities', or the discrete functions or processes that represent the elemental building blocks of competitive advantage. Now an essential part of international business thinking, COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE takes strategy from broad vision to an internally consistent configuration of activities. Its powerful framework provides the tools to understand the drivers of cost and a company's relative cost position. Porter's value chain enables managers to isolate the underlying sources of buyer value that will command a premium price, and the reasons why one product or service substitutes for another. He shows how competitive advantage lies not only in activities themselves but in the way activities relate to each other, to supplier activities, and to customer activities. That the phrases 'competitive advantage' and 'sustainable competitive advantage' have become commonplace is testimony to the power of Porter's ideas. COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE has guided countless companies, business school students, and scholars in understanding the roots of competition. Porter's work captures the extraordinary complexity of competition in a way that makes strategy both concrete and actionable.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56297065841013,"sku":"9780743260879","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780743260879_8537c8fd-4dfd-4b80-a7d4-1d81a56aa672.jpg?v=1786014867"},{"product_id":"9781422126967","title":"On Competition","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFor the past two decades, Michael Porter's work has towered over the field of competitive strategy. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eOn Competition, Updated and Expanded Edition\u003c\/i\u003e brings together more than a dozen of Porter's landmark articles from the \u003ci\u003eHarvard Business Review\u003c\/i\u003e.
