In a competitive environment, pricing strategy is one of the strategies to ensure efficiency and profitability. But lowering of prices at the expense of deterioration in the quality of product offerings cannot be a recommended strategy.
The four competitive strategies specified by Michael Porter are namely, Cost Leadership, Differentiation, Cost Focus and Differentiation focus.
Under Cost leadership, a firm strives to offer it's products at the lowest cost and be the cost leader in an industry.
