Concentration Strategy

Description of Concentration Strategy. Explanation.

 

Definition Concentration Strategy. Description.

 

In a Concentration Strategy a firm directs all or most of its resources a single market (to a single product, or a single technology). In this strategy, a company chooses to pursue a large share of one or a few submarkets rather than chasing a small share of a large market. An inherent risk belonging to this strategy occurs when the demand in the submarket suddenly drops or if a strong competitor enters the same submarket.

 

Also called Penetration Strategy. The opposite of Diversification.
