Abstract

Despite the benefit of high profits, as well as the enjoyment of a position of leadership, a company that has a high market share is a tempting target for actual and potential competitors, consumer organizations and government agencies. Market-share management involves the determination of optimal market share in a given product/market. To achieve or maintain this optimum share, recommended marketing strategies include: sharebuilding, share maintenance, share reduction, and risk reduction.
