This PPT slide, part of the 26-slide Competitive Comparison Analysis PowerPoint presentation, presents a critical analysis of product profitability by contrasting conventional wisdom with actual product-level cost and profit data. On the left side, the "Conventional Wisdom" chart shows perceived product revenues for Products A, B, and C, with revenue figures of $8, $7, and $6 respectively. The perceived profit for each product is also illustrated, with Product A showing a profit of $5, Product B at $6, and Product C at $3. This perspective relies heavily on assumptions that may not reflect the true financial realities of the products.

The right side of the slide, labeled "Product Profitability Analysis," provides a more nuanced view. Here, the actual product costs are displayed alongside perceived profits. Product A retains its revenue of $8, but shows a cost of $7, resulting in a profit of $1. Product B, with the same revenue of $7, has a cost of $4, yielding a profit of $3. Product C, however, reveals a stark contrast; despite a revenue of $6, it incurs a cost of $3, leading to a profit of $3.

This analysis emphasizes the importance of grounding decisions in verified data rather than assumptions. It highlights how conventional wisdom can mislead stakeholders, urging them to challenge existing beliefs and rely on factual insights. The takeaway is clear: organizations must scrutinize their assumptions about product profitability to avoid costly misjudgments that can arise from unverified information.
