The management decided to concentrate on controlling costs by recasting production and marketing processes and bargaining with suppliers to minimize cost of inputs. But there were limits of cost – cutting by recasting process and optimize time utilization. Suppliers of inputs too were reluctant to yield pressure. After a year, sales started declining fast.

The ABC company should consider the following points in the face of growing competition.
1.See the competition as an opportunity for learning rather than a threat.
2.Creating partnerships - with partners there is shared funding for tools as well as exchange of ideas.
3.Prioritize the needs of customers - in turn go for quality so the customers will also see the value of the goods worth their money.
4.Plan long term - When it comes to success in business plan long term and effective ideas. This will help achieve more.
5.Stay competitive and advertise - make the products of the company and the company itself known to the public. There is power in advertising and with positive competition the company will beat all the odds.
