Bookselling is an industry where product differentiation matters. Since books themselves are identical, retailers must concentrate on other things to attract and retain customers.

Write an essay titled “Competition Strategies in the Bookselling Industry.” Using your textbook and the movie excerpt, address the following questions in the essay:
a. Explain what type of market structure is presented in the movie. Explain the types of strategies Joe Fox and Kathleen Kelly use to compete and maintain market power. Differentiate between pricing and non-pricing strategies (use Chapter 7 in Stengel’s textbook). You can expand and talk about potential strategies in the bookselling business even if they were not explicitly addressed in the movie.
b. Explain the difference between the Industry (external) view and the Resource (internal) view of sustainable competitive advantage (use Chapter 10 in Froeb/McCann).
