Primary value chain activities that involve the effective layout of receiving dock operations (inbound logistics) and support value chain activities that include expertise in process engineering (technology development) characterize which generic strategy?

Primary value chain activities that involve the effective layout of receiving dock operations (inbound logistics) and support value chain activities that include expertise in process engineering (technology development) characterize  overall cost leadership.

When the cost associated with the manufacturing of any products is ultimately very low then it refers to the Cost leadership. When a company adopts very low cost of production of any products when compared with the competitors then it shows that the company has achieved the competitive advantage.

This makes the company to sell the product with cheaper cost in the market. Some of the examples include Wal-Mart, Mc-De. Thus cost leadership has the ability in making and effective layout for receiving dock operations and also in supporting the value chain activities.

ans.

heterothermic organisms include those organisms that can switch between homeothermic (having body temperature higher than environment) and poikilothermic (having variation in internal body temperature) strategies.

some migratory birds show heterothermy as they decrease their metabolic rate during cold nights to keep their body temperature low. drop in metabolic rate allows increase in production efficiency of birds that reduces the internal body temperature to make it equal to external cold temperature during cold nights.

thus, the correct answer is 'birds allow their temperature drop in order to increase their production efficiency.'
