Is it possible for a company to follow cost leadership and differentiation strategy simultaneously?

Michael Porter argues that a business unit which is unable to achieve one of the competitive strategies is likely to be "stuck in the middle" of the competitive marketplace with no competitive advantage. That unit, according to Porter, is doomed to below-average performance. Research by Greg Dess and Peter Davis as well as by Rod White, suggests however, that this may not be the case. Examples can be found of businesses which have been able to jointly follow overall low cost and high quality differentiation strategy. Japanese companies such as Toyota in automobiles and Matsushita (Panasonic and National) in consumer electronics are good examples. Their offer of low price and high quality created serious problems for those companies following only cost leadership in the U.S.
