Answer:
b. Low-cost provider, broad differentiation, focused low-cost, focused differentiation, and best-cost provider.
Explaination: The Five Generic Competitive Stages are:
1) LOW-COST PROVIDER
-striving to achieve lower overall costs than rivals on comparable products that attract a broad spectrum of buyers, usually by underpricing rivals.
2) BROAD DIFFERENTIATION
—seeking to differentiate the company's product offering from rivals' products by offering superior attributes that will appeal to a
broad spectrum of buyers.
3) FOCUSED LOW-COST
—concentrating on a narrow buyer segment (or market
niche) and outcompeting rivals on costs, thus being able to serve niche members
at a lower price.
4) FOCUSED DIFFERENTIATION
—concentrating on a narrow buyer segment (or
market niche) and outcompeting rivals by offering niche members customized
attributes that meet their tastes and requirements better than rivals' products.
5) BEST-COST PROVIDER
—giving customers more value for their money by satisfying buyers' expectations on key quality, features, performance, and/or service attributes while beating their price expectations. This option is a hybrid strategy that blends elements of low-cost provider and differentiation strategies; the aim is to have the lowest (best) costs and prices among sellers offering products with comparable differentiating attributes.
It is NOT a market share dominator strategy.
