Cooperative strategy consists in increasing the total market size (for the same company and competitors) to find new users and applications of the product or service.
Competitive Strategy: to achieve an additional stake in the market to invest heavily (eg advertising, personal selling, sales promotion and public relations) to attract customers to the competition.
Strategies for Market Challenge: These are strategies that companies can take against the market leader and are classified into three:
Frontage consists of attacking the entire market mix (product, price, distribution, promotion) of the leader. In general, performed the strongest competitors.
Attack on the side: It consists in focusing on the weaknesses of the leader as the price. In general, the weakest performing competitors.
Strategies derivation consists in focusing on areas that are not covered by the leader (usually performed by the competitors who have a highly specialized product or service). Business is a great thing!
