Competitive Strategy
Techniques for Analyzing Industries and Competitors
Michael E. Porter
This groundbreaking book on business strategy has transformed the way companies look at their rivals and has given rise to the new discipline of competitor assessment. 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. The ideas in the book address the underlying fundamentals of competition in a way that is independent of the specifics of the ways companies go about competing. Competitive Strategy has filled a void in management thinking, providing an enduring foundation and grounding point on which all subsequent work can be built.
