Analyze the competitive position of your company in comparison to the offering of competitors and stay ahead of the competition. Bowman’s Strategy Clock model is generally used in marketing to categorize and describe the competitive position of a company or organization in comparison to its competitors.  Developed by Cliff Bowman as an elaboration of the three porter generic strategies, he considers competitive advantages related to cost advantage and differentiation. The strategy developed by Bowman contains eight strategies that can be mapped across Cartesian axes where the horizontal axis represents price and the vertical axis represent the perceived value.

The eight possible positions on the clock are described below, starting at the 12:00 and rotating clockwise around the face. Position 1. Low price and low added value: Products in this position are not differentiated and are not perceived as having high value. It is not the most competitive position on the Clock. Position 2. Low price: In this position, products are mass-produced and have good value. The profit margin is low but is made up for by the high production volume and generally profits are high. Position 3. Hybrid: This position on the clock is usually very effective, because the products in this position are differentiated and low priced. Position 4. Differentiation: In this position, companies offer high quality at an average price, which results in a high degree of perceived value. Position 5. Focused Differentiation: Luxury and exclusive brands focus on this clock position, as it is where high quality meets a high price. Position 6. Risky high margins: Products in this segment are priced high and the customer’s perceived value is just mediocre. Position 7. Monopoly Pricing: In this position, companies have the advantage of being the only contenders offering the product. Position 8. Loss of market share: In this position, a company is not able to offer a valuable product to the customer, and the customer will not purchase. Prices are too high and market share is lost.
