According to a model suggested by Arthur D Little, a consulting organization, market share will tend to

  1. Increase after gains in mind share but not heart share.
  2. Decrease after losses in heart share but not mind share.
  3. Increase after gains in mind share and heart share.
  4. Not be affected by changes in mind share and heart share.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Arthur D Little suggests a three-factor model for assessing a competitor's current and future market share. Market share is the share of the target market. Mind share is the percentage of customers who name the firm as the first that comes to mind" in the industry. Heart share is the percentage of customers who name the firm as the one from which they "would prefer to buy." A competitor that improves its mind share and heart share will ultimately increase its market share and profits.



Firm X is considering entry into an industry. To analyze competition within the industry, Firm X evaluated its strategic groups. According to Michael E. Porter,

  1. The members of a strategic group pursue different competitive strategies.
  2. Intergroup competition is increased by market interdependence.
  3. Low barriers to mobility among strategic groups promote profitability.
  4. High substitutability of products reduces competition among groups.

Answer(s): B

Intergroup competition is increased by market interdependence, which is the extent to which groups pursue the same customers. The greater the interdependence, the stronger the competition among groups.
