NARROW POSITIONING: HOW SAYING NO TO SOME CUSTOMERS INCREASES YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING BIG

Autodesk's success began with AutoCAD, a cost-effective CAD program for engineers and architects that was priced at a fraction of its competitors.

THE ‘VALUE NOW' CONSUMER: MAKING SENSE OF US CONSUMER SENTIMENT AND SPENDING

US consumer sentiment remains low despite economic strength. Spending exceeds pre-pandemic levels, driven by a "value now" mindset, where consumers focus on immediate value. They're splurging on experiences like dining while cutting back on low-value items like cars.
