一、Market competition strategy

Professor Pei Zhangxian said that strategic management is divided into four steps, namely, defining the mission and objectives, conducting strategic analysis, strategy formulation and selection, strategy implementation and control.Enterprises needed to analyze the internal and external environment and formulated guidelines for the development of enterprises. In the market competition, we needed to put the goal and the response strategy into practice.

Professor Pei said the competitive strategy was to gain an advantage over competitors. It is the method assurance that realizes enterprise overall strategy (company strategy). How to enter the market and business field determined by the company strategy needs competitive strategy to complete. Although the strategic choice of growth, stability and contraction needs to consider external opportunities and threats, it is more important to be supported by competitive advantages. The purpose of competition is to win some competitive advantages and defeat competitors by providing customers with what they want better than competitors.

For competitive strategy, professor Pei Zhangxian divided it into total cost leadership strategy, differentiation strategy and focus or concentration strategy. An enterprise must establish efficient production facilities, spare no effort to reduce costs on the basis of experience, increase the control of costs and administrative expenses, and save expenses in research and development, service, promotion, advertising and other aspects. The enterprise management must pay enough attention to cost management. Successful differentiation strategy will become a positive strategy for enterprises to achieve a higher level of profits, because it can establish a "defensive position" against the five competitive forces. Professor Pei Zhangxian took Rolls Royce as an example to introduce that the company provides products and services to a very narrow "niche market" with ultra-luxurious design, exquisite craftsmanship and unique enjoyment, which is a typical example of adopting "specialized strategy". The profit potential of enterprises adopting "specialized strategy" will exceed the average profit level of the industry, and enterprises can also resist the threat of various competitive forces.

二、 segmentation strategies

Professor Pei Zhangxian explained the concept of market segmentation and defined the  the trilogy of market segmentation . According to the different needs of the product buyers, the market will be divided into different consumer groups, and the outline can be sketched. It is also the act of selecting one or more market segments to enter and an act of placing a product and specific marketing combination in a competitive and distinctive position in the customer's mind.

三、Positioning marketing strategy

According to the method of market positioning, professor Pei Zhangxian pointed out that enterprises must confirm their competitive advantages, accurately choose the relative competitive advantages, and show the unique competitive advantages. In most industries, there is a company that is recognized as a market leader in price adjustment, new product development, distribution coverage and promotional power. It is the market competition leader, but also object challenged, imitated or avoided by competitors.Enterprises need to find new users, open up new purpose of products and expand product usage.

Professor Pei stressed that enterprises must protect their existing businesses and guard against the attack of competitors when expanding the whole market scale. Coca-Cola, for example, must be always on the alert for Pepsi; Kodak to guard against the attack of Fuji, and so on.

四、Market attack and defense strategy

Professor Pei Zhangxian pointed out that the enterprise managers must be clear about the strategic objectives and the challenge objects, and there are different objectives for different objects. Challengers can choose three kinds of companies as the attack objects, such as market leaders, those who are similar to their own scale, and regional small enterprises. In the end, professor Pei pointed out that market niches should bear greater risks, because the niches themselves may be dried up or attacked. Therefore, when choosing market niches, marketers usually choose two or more niches to ensure the survival and development of enterprises. In any case, as long as marketers are good at managing, small businesses have a chance to serve customers and earn profits.
