- 分析下述论证中存在的缺陷和漏洞，选择若干要点，写一篇600字左右的文章，对该论证的有效性进行分析和评论。（论证有效性分析的一般要点是：概念特别是核心概念的界定和使用是否准确并前后一致，有无各种明显的逻辑错误，论证的论据是否成立并支持结论，结论成立的条件是否充分等等。） 按照迈克尔•波特的战略理论，企业要获得竞争优势，可以采取三种战略：成本领先战略、差异化战略和集聚化战略。逐渐意识到战略重要性的中国企业，已经开始在制定战略时运用西方战略理论成果。当然这样的运用需要根据国情而定，不能照搬。以差异化战略为例。虽然中国企业目前的现实状况是普遍缺乏核心技术，但这也不妨碍中国企业寻求差异化的步伐。从主观方面进行分析，差异化指的是超出竞争对手的部分，这体现在质量、服务、渠道或者满足消费者需求的速度等方面，这些方面中国企业还是大有可为的，如果中国企业把这些方面做上去，自然能够得到消费者的认可。 在美国，人均月收入3000美元左右，购买一台冰箱占消费者月收入的比例很低。因此，消费者对价格并不敏感，也更倾向于购买价格较高的品牌产品。这就是迈克尔•波特反复提醒中国企业家要回避价格 战的原因。而在中国，降价却是唯一能吸引消费者眼球的手段，所以中国企业深陷价格鏖战泥潭不可自拔。 现代管理学的发展已经有上百年的历史，这些理论基本上是在西方经济社会中总结出来的，其成熟性、有效性是毋庸置疑的，而中国也是快速发展的经济体，所以，现代管理学对中国企业的适用性也是显而易见的。中国企业需要拿出些“拿来主义”精神，正所谓“首先复制就是创新”。现实是，现在国内很多企业的经营和管理都非常粗放，经营决策往往“拍脑袋”。中国企业亟需加强学习和借鉴，从而提升各级管理者的业务能力。中国消费者现在的产品诉求越来越多元化，因此，差异化策略在中国将大有可为，只要国内企业虚心借鉴西方先进经验，中国企业实行差异化战略必定能取得成功。
