Hypotheses

Competitive strategies and business performance

Porter, 1980 and Porter and Strategy (1985) argues that the strategic choice of the firm is the one that will determine its performance, avoiding intermediate positions, a feeling of "stuck in the middle", that would lead to a loss of competitive advantage. Cost leadership focuses mainly on the production of low-cost products to satisfy price-sensitive customers, specialization in certain products and services, investment in reducing costs with technology and equipment and use of distribution channels to reduce their costs. Differentiation focuses more on offering different and unique products and services in the industry but to a wide range of relatively price-insensitive customers, having quality products, broad product lines, consumer service and an efficient distribution system.

This analysis leads authors to propose the following hypotheses:

H3.1

In the wine sector, the companies that use a differentiation strategy will achieve a superior performance.

H3.2

In the wine sector, the companies with a cost-leadership strategy will achieve a superior performance.
