How could OLPC use the ERRC and Differentiation Analysis approach to improve its strategy? In answering these cite from the case and readings (appropriate article and page number)
Identify the ERRC in a table with a row for eliminated, reduced, raised and created and indicate the choices OLPC made for each relative to competitors. Remember to name and number the table.
Identify in a new table, the ERRC he could or should have been using to compete well. Remember to name and number the table.
Relative to their competitors what should they be eliminating, reducing, raising, and creating relative to its competition? Explain why he should have done each of the elements in this ERRC.
Use the EXCEL Differentiation Analysis Tab. Graph the Strategy Canvas given in that tab. Choose the appropriate competitors.
Remember: this is about value to the customer and how it is differentiated from other players in the market. So, the X-Axis shows the price and non-price values and the Y-axis the relative values scaled from 1-5 (you have to make subjective estimates). Higher values show advantage.
Include the ERRC tables and the Strategy Canvas image in your main document (not just in EXCEL) and please comment on this and interpret these in your document.
