How to Create Value for Competitive Advantage

By Robert W. Bradford (editor), with Thomas E. Ambler, M. Dana Baldwin, Denise A. Harrison and Stephen A. Rutan

In much of today’s writing about business, we see examples of success through cheapness. It seems that success must come from being cheaper than the next guy. However, cheapness is neither the only nor always the best path to success. In fact, for many companies, getting on the cheap bandwagon – often disguised as “competitiveness” – can lead to disaster.

Unbeatable Value Strategy offers a roadmap to success in a world dominated by commodity pricing. For many companies operating in today’s world of global competition, this simplified walk through the concepts of competitive specialty strategy is critical. Written in a conversational tone, it offers practical steps to follow that will greatly improve the competitive abilities of any company.
