Abstract: | In a global environment, any one company's cost advantage from geographical locale, cheaper labor, or more-efficient production sites can always be replicated, in time, by a sufficiently strong competitor with access to today's free-flowing financial markets. Thus, the ultimate key to a superior margin will be price, not cost. High-value firms will be those that can develop and/or sustain a sales-driven franchise with premium pricing across a range of product markets. |
