I Translate the following text into German. Do not give any variants.
Product differentiation means that established firms have brand identification and custom-
er loyalties, which stem from past advertising, customer service, product differences, or simp-
ly being first into the industry. Differentiation creates a barrier to entry by forcing entrants 1 to
spend heavily to overcome existing customer loyalties. This effort usually involves start-up
losses2 and often takes an extended period of time. Such investments in building a brand name
are particularly risky since they have no salvage value3 if entry fails.
(Michael E. Porter, Competitive Strategy: 9)
