QUESTION 1:
Generic Strategies for Competitive Advantage
1. Cost Leadership OBC Meat and Chicken may use a cost leadership strategy by offering meat
products at lower prices than competitors. By sourcing locally and reducing overhead costs, they
can provide affordable products while maintaining profitability. This allows OBC to attract price-
sensitive customers, creating a sustainable competitive advantage.
2. Differentiation OBC could differentiate itself by offering a unique selection of high-quality,
organic, or locally sourced chicken products. By highlighting the freshness and ethical sourcing
of their meat, OBC creates a brand image that appeals to health-conscious consumers, giving
them a competitive edge.
3. Focus Strategy OBC may employ a focus strategy by targeting a specific market segment, such
as low-income communities in Gauteng. By understanding the unique needs of this segment,
OBC can offer tailored products and services that meet the specific demands of the local market,
ensuring long-term customer loyalty.
