    That is the goal of many businesses, and many do exactly that.

    It costs YOU MORE to make it better. You sell it for LESS. How do you stay in business doing that? Thank you for your reply B and Happy Tuesday to thee! :)

    Not necessarily.  By utilizing different methods of production, and cutting waste in the process from administration to production to promotion to delivery to the end user, it is often possible to deliver more for less.

    Not at all. If you are loosing market share it is probably the best way to regain it.
    And at this time China is peeling market share off of a lot of American businesses.

    Provided the improvements and pricing are carried out with due care and diligence, and you are sure of your market it seems a very good business model. History is littered with manufacturing company failures due to inadequate investment in improving or advancing their products, or adapting to changes in their own fields generally.
