3 Generic Strategies Scope Source of competitive advantage
Cost leadership Differentiation Cost focus (emphasizing cost-minimization within a focused market) Differentiation focus (pursuing strategic differentiation within a focused market) - Broad Scope Porter's generic strategies are ways of gaining competitive advantage – in other words, developing the "edge" that gets you the sale and takes it away from your competitors. There are two main ways of achieving this within a Cost Leadership strategy: Increasing profits by reducing costs, while charging average prices. Increasing market share through charging lower prices, while still making a reasonable profit on each sale because you've reduced costs. Simply being amongst the lowest-cost producers is not good enough, as you leave yourself wide open to attack by other low-cost producers who may undercut your prices and therefore block your attempts to increase market share. Differentiation involves making your products different from and more attractive than those of your competitors. This will typically involve features, functionality, durability, support, and also brand image that your customers value. To make a success of a Differentiation strategy, smallholders need: Good research, development and innovation. The ability to deliver high-quality products, through certified germplasm and seedlings, quality control, etc. Effective sales and marketing, so that the market understands the benefits offered by the differentiated offerings. Narrow Source of competitive advantage

4 Locations Gunungkidul: smallholder teak and bamboo
Lombok & Sumbawa West Timor Gunungkidul: smallholder teak and bamboo Lombok and Sumbawa: smallholder teak, other timber, tubers Flores: bamboo West Timor: medicinals, oils, and natural dyes Flores

5 Example in West Timor: Cost focus – narrow/niche market – high value addition – competitive advantage – form farmer group as business unit – increase bargaining power – lower transaction costs - alternative livelihoods – increased household income Drawing on the initial results of the Kanoppi2 project activities, this activity will be developed into a “shared-value model” where private companies marketing timber and NTFPs generate economic value for the companies, farmer producers, and local traders. The models will be operationalised through private-sector facilitation, in collaboration with the project team and government extension agencies.
