Analysis of growth, price-recovery, and productivity components (continuation of Exercise 13-24). Suppose that during 2009 the market for implementing sales management software increased by 5%, and that Snyder experiences a 1% decline in prices. Assume that any further decreases in selling prices and increases in market share are strategic choices by Snyder's management to implement Snyder's cost leadership strategy. REQUIRED Calculate how much of the change in operating income between 2008 and 2009 is due to industry market-size factors, cost leadership, and product differentiation. How successful has Snyder been in implementing its strategy?
