A product that represents a clear technological advance over competing products can generally command a high price. Because technological advances tend to be quickly surpassed and companies want to make large profits while they still can, many companies charge the maximum possible price for such a product. But large profits on the new product will give competitors a strong incentive to quickly match the new product's capabilities. Consequently, the strategy to maximize overall profit from a new product is to charge less than the greatest possible price.

这个公司的 strategy(或者goal)在于max整体利润,公司推出新产品达成这个strategy有2种方式,1.把价格提高到最高;2.低于最大可盈利的价格(即1中的价格)。经过作者的比较觉得2比较能够达到目的。在第一个黑脸中,阐释的就是为什么公司要设置这个strategy(为了获得竞争优势)+方法1(把价格提到最高)。之后diss了方法1,提出了方法2(第二个黑脸的表达也是 方法2+为了达到的strategy,也就是max利润)。 C选项没有纠缠2个方法在黑脸部分的作用,主要强调的是公司对于新产品的策略,即max profit。E中公司的目标一致都没有变,一直都是max profit。这一题分清楚作者论证的主次很重要!
