Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The three forms of competitive strategies are cost leadership, differentiation, and focus. Cost leadership means offering the lowest prices and/or emphasizing low costs and efficiency as a source of competitive advantage. Walmart is an example of a company pursuing a cost leadership strategy. Differentiation means emphasizing a source of difference between a company and its competitors. The differential advantage becomes the source of competitive advantage. Target follows a differentiation strategy by stressing the sale of more upscale brands than Walmart. A focus strategy means that a company pursues a small niche in the market place. Ferrari follows this strategy by offering a product that customers can get no other way.
