After studying the third Session Topic entitled 'First Mover Advantage' and also
watching a video on the same topic, answer the following questions:

1. What are the advantages of becoming First Movers in business?


2. What are the challenges of becoming First Movers?
3. What does a First Mover do in order to survive the market?

Here my answer

1. Being the first to develop and market a product comes with many prime
advantages that strengthen a company's position in the marketplace. For
example, a first mover often gains exclusive agreements with suppliers, sets
industry standards, and develops strong relationships with retailers. Other
advantages include

• Brand name recognition is the main first-mover advantage. Not only does it
engender loyalty among existing customers, but it also draws new customers to
a company's product, even after other companies have entered the market.
Brand name recognition also positions companies to diversify offerings and
services.

• Economies of scale, particularly those regarding manufacturing or technology-


based products, is a massive advantage for first movers. The first mover in an
industry has a longer learning curve, which frequently enables it to establish a
more cost-efficient means of producing or delivering a product before it
competes with other businesses.

• Switching costs let a first mover build a strong business foundation. Once a
customer has purchased the first mover's product, switching to a rival product
may be cost prohibitive. For example, a company using the Windows operating
system likely would not change to another operating system, because of the
costs associated with retraining employees, among other costs.
2. One thing is clear, first-movers face a number of challenges unique to their
market timing. For example, they almost always carry the burden of having to
educate their markets and change pre-existing behaviors. You don’t need to be a
psychologist to know that humans resist change. As a result, teaching users a
new way to do something can be a long (and expensive) road.
Being the first is also not always profitable. Companies have to invest in
infrastructure and major risks, especially new product development, distribution
network development and stimulate demand. Furthermore, any mistakes and
imperfections can be exploited by the following company (the latter) to compete
with the first company.

3. 1). Recognizing the needs and wants of consumers To win the market
you need to understand more about the needs and wants of consumers.
Consumers should be the end of the products created.

2). Pay attention to consumer habits.


Consumer habits are one of the factors that must be considered when creating
new products. The habits, traditions, or culture that develop in society greatly
influence one's needs. Do a survey and research beforehand on the habits and
traditions that exist in the surrounding community to find out the effectiveness
and chances of product success.

3). Innovative
Traditions that develop in society are the capital of the OT Group in creating its
products. But of course, the point of tradition is not enough; one condition that is
held fast is innovation.
