| | Product differentiation - a key concept in Economics and Management |
 | | For the firms introducing the new version of the product, the expected results are mainly improvements of profits (thanks to lower elasticity of consumption to price and higher mark-up on costs), sales, and market shares. | | | Within firms, product differentiation is the way multi-product firms build their own supplied products' range. | | | Differentiated versions of a good can have widely different costs of production. |

| | Haarla: Product Differentiation: Does it Provide Competitive Advantage for a Printing Paper Company?, ISBN 951-22-6714-4 |
| | The bond between a differentiated product and a customer's process is rather weak: customers tend to change to better quality standard products when a downturn starts and price difference diminishes. | | | Product differentiation – as defined in this thesis – can provide competitive advantage for a printing paper company if it is based on the coordinated use of various knowledge, skills and capabilities within the firm. | | | If based on intangible assets, product differentiation is not a sustainable competitive advantage unless it is an integrated element of a customer's strategy. |

| | When products are priced at marginal cost, consumers differ by which they like best, a situation known as horizontal differentiation. | | | Product differentiation offers firms market power, and this enables them to mollify the Bertrand Paradox for pricing homogeneous products. | | | In International Trade, product differentiation explains the empirical paradox of intra-industry trade; much bilateral trade is in the same product class. |
