Survivor $($Part b$)$

Firms like CBS can implement strategies to help them maintain a sustainable competitive advantage. Most strategies fall into one of three focus areas: $1)$ cost reduction, $2)$ product differentiation, or $3)$ reduction in competitive intensity. Match each of the following strategies that CBS could have implemented $($or perhaps did implement$)$ to the focus area that most corresponds to the strategy.

Hint: Each of the three focus areas will be matched with exactly two of the strategies.

Launch a "Celebrity Survivor" or another spin$-$off of the show that no other network had thought of

Integrate interactive audience participation where live audiences, both on$-$site and online, can influence outcomes directly through real$-$time decisions and feedback, creating a dynamic and immersive viewing experience unique to CBS

Outsource graphic and visual effects work, focusing internal resources on core production activities

Secure exclusive agreements with the most innovative and successful creators, ensuring top$-$tier reality content is aired exclusively on CBS thereby limiting other networks' access to premium content and creative talent

Negotiate geographical exclusivity rights, making it the only network allowed to broadcast reality shows in specific regions

Adopt technologies for efficient remote location management and filming setups
