PRODUCT MODIFICATION
Involve quality improvement aims at increasing the product’s functional
performance - its durability, reliability, speed, taste.
A strategy of feature improvement aims at adding new features ( for
example - size, weight, materials, additives, accessories ) that expand the
product’s versatility, safety, or convenience.
A strategy of style improvement aims at increasing the product’s aesthetic
appeal. The periodic introduction of new car models amounts to style
competition rather than quality or feature competition.
