Schwerpunkte des Buches sind die Wettbewerbsstrategie und die Integration der Kostenanalyse in den marktbedingten Preisbildungsprozeß. Die Autoren erklären, wie die Rentabilität eines Unternehmens trotz starker Konkurrenz erhalten werden kann. Und zwar muß der Wettbewerb gelenkt werden, anstatt lediglich auf die Konkurrenz zu reagieren. Der Leser erfährt einfache, aber äußerst wirkungsvolle finanzielle Techniken zur Integration der Kostenfrage in Marketingentscheidungen. Schließlich werden Gewinnmöglichkeiten erläutert, die sich aus einer Marktsegmentierung ergeben, ebenso wie die spezifischen Techniken zur Erreichung dieser Segmentierung.
