As outlined in this week's lecture notes, there are seven common game-winning moves that can be leveraged to differentiate and strengthen competitive positioning. They include: Geographic Expansion, New Price Tiers, Vertical Integration, Moving Into Adjacent Product Segments, New Distribution Channels, Discontinuous Innovation, and Mergers & Acquisitions.

• Identify an organization in your industry (but not the company you selected for your course project) that used one of the seven common winning moves.
• Which move did they use and why do you think they elected to use this move?
• How effective was this move in establishing meaningful differentiation? Support your response with references to this week's materials including Chapter 9 from Sherman.
