| Abstract: | Companies that sell multiple quality-differentiated products frequently alter their product lines when a competitor enters the market. A model of multiproduct monopoly and duopoly using a general "upgrades" approach that yields a powerful analytical framework is presented. An explanation for the common strategies of using "fighting brands" and of product line "pruning" is provided. |
