• Line Modernization: In rapidly changingmarkets, modernization is continuous.

– Companies plan improvements to encouragecustomer migration to higher-valued, higher-priced items.

– It’s important to time improvements so they donot appear too early (damaging sales of thecurrent line) or too late (giving the competitiontime to establish a strong reputation)
