| Tiivistelmä: | Strategic product line breadth decisions evoke differential responses from the manufacturing and the marketing areas: manufacturing prefers keeping process disruptions to a minimum and as a result discourages product proliferation; however, marketing, in its attempt to match products to heterogeneous consumer needs and gain market share, emphasizes a broader product line. Significant market share benefits and increases in firms profitability are indicated with broader product lines; beliefs of increases in production costs are not supported. |
