Competitive advantage and better market position depend on the choice of appropriate strategy. Companies are in a position to select some generic strategies. The concept of target costing is a part of the strategic process of cost management and company management. It is based on the attempts to create low-cost product by managing costs in the phase preceding the production phase, without endangering the product’s functionality and usefulness for the buyers. Therefore, this concept offers a solid information basis for the realization of generic strategies of a company.
