In The strategic planning process – part 1 technical article, in Porter’s five forces -> 5. The extent of competitive rivalry, I can not understand the following:
the cost structures if high – fixed costs prices are often cut to generate volume
Please elaborate it further. The structure of this sentence confuses me.
