AAA is a car manufacturer which has undertaken a strategy to lobby a regional authority to include Its flagship hybrid model in a regional initiative to grant low-emission cars access to faster moving vehicle lanes. These faster vehicle lanes were historically only available to cars carrying passengers. Given the benefits of AAA's low emission vehicles, AAA's cars were authorised to make use of the faster lanes, even when no passengers were on board providing AAA with a decisive competitive edge.

Which of the following strategies is AAA pursuing?

I'm gonna have to go with C) on this one. Lobbying the government to change the rules in your favor? That's a textbook non-market strategy if I've ever seen one.

Haha, AAA is really working that 'do whatever it takes to win' attitude. I'm just picturing them bribing the authorities with free oil changes or something. C) all the way!
