(1)调查报告显示，"方便面产品虽然是方便食品，但我国消费者非常关注方便面的口味和品质"。关注价格的消费者的比例明显低于关注口味、品质和品牌的消费者，所以依据差异化战略与成本领先战略实施市场条件分析，在方便面市场竞争适宜采用差异化战略，而不是成本领先战略。
(2)W牌方便面、J牌弹面、T牌老坛酸菜牛肉面分别通过"品牌定位差异化、产品卖点差异化、产品口味差异化，在某个细分市场或某个区域市场取得竞争优势"，这三个品牌采用的是集中化战略中的集中差异战略。由于采用集中差异战略是企业在一个特定的目标市场上实施差异化战略，所以，差异化战略抵御产业5种竞争力的优势也都能在集中战略中体现出来。此外，集中战略的实施可以增强企业相对的竞争优势。
(3)K牌方便面"在我国方便面市场占据1/3左右的市场份额，其在产品口味、品种、包装、品牌传播等方面都走在方便面企业的前面"，可以判断K牌方便面采用的是差异化竞争战略。采取差异化战略的风险主要有：
1)企业形成产品差别化的成本过高；
2)市场需求发生变化；
3)竞争对手的模仿和进攻使已建立的差异缩小甚至转向。
本案例中，K牌方便面面临的风险主要体现在第三点："中小方便面企业和新进入方便面市场的品牌通过差异化的品牌策划、产品策划、市场策划和销售策划"使得"K牌方便面的特色程度正在逐步降低"。
