A company's operating income can be considered to have three components—growth, price recovery, and productivity. These components can be used to evaluate the success of a company's cost‐leadership or product‐differentiation strategies. The growth component can be further analyzed to incorporate a long‐term view and focus on capacity‐underutilization components so as to capture changes in a company's capacity costs, available capacities, and used capacities. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
