What is the Experience Curve strategy?

Companies with higher cumulative production have lower costs. Aggressive market share pursuit drives experience accumulation, creating cost advantages that entrench leadership.

How does experience curve differ from learning curve?

Experience curve is broader: includes learning, economies of scale, process improvement, and product standardization. Learning curve focuses narrowly on labor efficiency.
