How firms achieve competitive advantage through operations? Firms achieve missions in three conceptual
ways:1. Differentiation2. Cost leadership3. Response This means operations managers are called to
deliver goods and services that are 1- better or at least different 2- cheaper 3- more responsive

Uniqueness can go beyond both the physical characteristics and service
attributes to encompass everything that impacts customer’s perception of value
