BCD is аn аrtisаnal cоffee rоaster оperating in the United States. The firm has recently upgraded its sourcing to rare single-origin micro-lots and introduced temperature-controlled nitrogen packaging. These modifications increased its unit cost by $4.00 per bag. Market research shows that, in a representative sample of target consumers, survey respondents positively evaluate the superior quality attributes, increasing their willingness to pay (WTP) by an average of $2.50 per bag. To maintain cash flow, the roaster raises its retail price by $3.00 per bag. For this question, measure value creation per bag as customer willingness to pay minus the firm’s unit cost. Using this measure within the value-based strategy analysis, why does this differentiation initiative fail to create additional value per bag?
