Providing value is a key objective of market-driven organizations. Based on the formula for providing added value, there are only five “basic”, alternative strategies that a company can consider if their goal is to provide additional value to their customers. This typically involves decisions involving your product offering and/or your price. Let’s consider Time Warner Cable. Time Warner offers a number of different packages.

Due to increased competition from streaming and etc. Time Warner wants to pursue a strategy of providing greater value to its customers in the Los Angeles area.
