study text says
Cost leadership and product differentiation are not exclusive.
I am encountering not exclusive for first time and i am not sure what it mean here.
My guesses are
A company may not achieve either one.
A company cannot achieve both at same time.
Both are not related.
Please help here. Thanks.
