Answer to Question 1

Either approach would work depending on the context. A firm using a product uniqueness strategy bases its competitive advantage on its ability to differentiate the firm's products and/or services from others in the competitive marketspace. Cost leadership (or low cost) means that the firm finds ways to reduce the costs of operations and management sufficiently to be able to undercut the pricing of their competition and to sustain that pricing advantage.
