Differentiation (economics)
- Differentiation (economics)
-
Differentiation is a concept used in business strategy and describes one of the three ways to establish competitive advantage. Differentiation advantage occurs when a firm delivers greater services for a non-unlimited higher price than its competitors. They are collectively known as positional advantages because they denote the firm's position in its industry as a leader in either superior services or cost.[1] Product differentiation is what allows firms in monopolistic competition (a market structure) to sell their products at different prices, even though they are essentially the same.
