C H A P T E R S I X The Past and Future of Competitive Advantage CLAYTON M. CHRISTENSEN Competitive advantage is a concept that often inspires in strategists a form of idol worship—a desire to imitate the strategies that make the most successful companies successful. It is interesting‚ however‚ that strategists have viewed precisely opposite factors to be sources of competitive advantage at different points in the histories of a number of industries. For example‚ Henry Ford’s emphasis on

A shop that makes candles offers a scented candle‚ which has a monthly demand of 360 boxes. Candles can be produced at a rate of 36 boxes per day. The shop operates 20 days a month. Assume that demand is uniform throughout the month. Setup cost is $60 for a run‚ and holding cost is $2 per box on a monthly basis. Determine the following: (A) the economic run size

Therefore‚ depreciation cost/expense calculated under straight-line method will be of the nature of fixed cost. Units of production method: Under units of production method we connect the depreciation with

a) Cost of Production: Right now Albatross is producing two different types of anchors. The snag hook anchor is costing $11.00 per pound and the bell hook is selling for $8.00 per pound at this current time. The cost of production line also includes economies of scale in material purchasing‚ raw materials and finished goods sitting idle in the warehouse. b) Economies of Scale in material purchasing: Economies of scale are reductions in average costs attributable to production volume increases

As Landgraf’s objective is to design a more cost-effective network (cost minimization problem subject to various capacity constraints)‚ the following production network in 2009 should have been used by BioPharma: *All numbers below are in millions *Total Transportation Cost=SUMPRODUCT of each plant’s Highcal production with corresponding

With exception of India‚ demand is expected to remain relatively stable for the short-term future‚ so BioPharma can no longer afford its costly surplus capacity. BioPharma produces and sells two chemicals in bulk. Each plant they currently have is capable of producing both chemicals. They are willing to idle production at the Germany and Japan plants on one or both chemicals

Here the marginal product curve is positive and increasing. Therefore‚ the total product is increasing at an increasing rate. This stage refers to Law of increasing marginal returns. Stage 2 of production: The second stage starts from Unit 11 of labor to the 14th unit. Here the total production is increasing at a decreasing rate. Marginal Product

followed by the management. The five steps towards obtaining a cost leader advantage are: (1) Distinguish between economies of scale‚ size and scope‚ (2) Increase average productivity of labour‚ (3) Normalize wage structure‚ (4) Control more of the production costs‚ (5) Demarcate between excess and reserve capacity. Implementing those steps can take several years (even decades) e.g Canon. A company has achieved economies of scale when the average cost (AC) declines as output increases meaning
