I Translate the following text into German. Do not give any variants.
There has been much recent discussion about strategy arguing that the firm with the larg-
est market share will be the most profitable. The previous analysis suggests that whether this
is true or not depends on the circumstances. If large firms in an industry compete in strategic
groups that are more protected by mobility barriers than smaller firms, in stronger positions
relative to customers and suppliers, more insulated from rivalry with other groups, and so on,
then the large firms will indeed be more profitable than smaller firms. For example, in in-
dustries like brewing and the manufacture of toiletries and television sets, where there are
substantial economies of scale in manufacturing, distributing, and servicing a full product line
as well as economies of scale in national advertising, then the large firms in the industry will
probably be more profitable than smaller firms.
(Michael E. Porter, Competitive Strategy: 145-146)
