Differentiate or die: survival in our era of killer competition
Trout, Jack
Rivkin, Steve
Since Differentiate or Die was published seven years ago, competition for mindshare in a world of look-alike products and services has only intensified. The message of the book is more important than ever: that companies often fail to recognize their own most powerful and unique attribute and fail to implementa strategy that emphasizes and supports that attribute. Differentiation is not branding, but the essence of what branding is about. Trout demonstrates successful differentiation through examples from around the world, using core ideas like heritage, market leadership, and "being first" to rationalize consumers' unconscious emotions so that managers can bind them to products. This revised Second Edition includes new and updated examples, new research, fresh case studies, a deeper discussion of specialization, and an in-depth explanation of the ways line-extension can undermine differentiation.
