This combined with the fact that Berkshire is convinced that it could not individually raise prices without suffering substantial volume declines, and that all the products of the different manufacturers in the industry are very similar, prove that their business strategy is in fact cost leadership.
This is a common, if not growing, trend that has emerged in global markets. Due to China’s incredibly low labour cost rates numerous companies have outsourced production to China.
