Kindly someone with unique and complete answer

Question 3: Case: You are a manager of a soft drinks company that is planning to go head to head with Coca-Cola to increase market share. Your strategy is to increase your product ranges that you plan to offer to Mass Market. Along with the extension of the products and product lines, you want to be responsive to the different geographic regions you plan to serve.

  2. Increasing responsiveness
  3. or both
