A product that represents a clear technological advance over competing products can generally command a high price. Surprisingly, perhaps, the strategy to maximize overall profit from a new product is to charge less than the greatest price the market will bear. Many companies charge the maximum possible price for such a product,because they want to make as much profit as they can and technological advances tend to be quickly surpassed. The drawback is that large profits on the new product give competitors a strong incentive to quickly match the new product's capabilities.
In the argument above, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

A product that represents a clear technological advance over competing products can 【generally 】command a high price. --通常的策略1:新产品卖高价
~~【Surprisingly】, perhaps, the strategy to maximize overall profit from a new product is to charge less than the greatest price the market will bear. --惊艳的策略2:新产品卖低价-=利润最大(∈作者的观点)
Many companies 【charge the maximum possible price 】for such a product, because they want to make as much profit* as they can and technological advances tend to be quickly surpassed. -- --大公司的策略1:新产品卖高价+原因
~~The drawback is that large profits* on the new product give competitors a strong incentive to quickly match the new product's capabilities. --策略1:新产品卖高价的缺点
比竞争产品具有明显技术进步的产品通常可以卖出高价。
~~令人惊讶的是,最大化新产品整体利润的策略可能是收取低于市场所能承受的最高价格。
许多公司对此类产品收取尽可能高的价格,因为他们希望尽可能多地赚取利润,而技术进步往往会很快被超越。
~~缺点是新产品的高额利润给了竞争对手强大的动力去快速匹配新产品的能力。
