AUTOMATED ALTERNATIVE
Pro • Higher customer base
Con • Likely loss of high-end market
Shift production to a more assembly line model

HERITAGE-BASED ALTERNATIVE
Pro • Please high-end customers
Con • Lose accessible customers
Luxury goods use more artisan labor, as when the company was founded

HYBRID ALTERNATIVE
Pro • Potential gain in all segments
Con • Highest risk to lose in all segments• Potential to cheapen the brand
Produce “accessible” goods using automation and “absolute” goods using artisan labor
