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?

Haha, AAA must have some serious pull with the regional authority to get this kind of special treatment. I bet their lobbying budget is bigger than their R&D budget!

This is a tricky one, but I'm going to go with A) An environmental strategy. AAA is leveraging their low-emission vehicles to gain this advantage, so it seems like an environmental play to me.

But wouldn't it also be considered an environmental strategy since they are promoting their low-emission vehicles?

I think D) A market strategy is the correct answer here. AAA is trying to gain a competitive edge in the market by having their cars access the faster lanes.

The right answer is clearly C) A non-market strategy. AAA is lobbying the government to get a competitive advantage, not pursuing a market-based approach.
