Profits and Product Differentiation with Supply Chain Collaborators: Building a Win-Win Relationship

PITTSBURGH - July 17, 2013 - PRLog -- PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania – Product differentiation is one of the most important keys to profitability and a sustainable competitive advantage, but is difficult to achieve because of accelerating technological change.  Instead, many decide to compete on price which is a race to bottom ending in huge profitability loss.

One of the most important (but often overlooked) ways to innovate and stay ahead of technological product obsolescence is to cultivate win-win relationships with your supply chain through involving them in the earliest stages of your innovation process.  A strong supply chain relationship can help spur innovation and create a competitive advantage. Kopp Glass has been helping technical glass customers in this way for almost nine decades.
