Yes. An organization can target being lowest cost producer of the differentiated product/service.
YES
SURE &
A GREE WITH Mr. Mohammed tohamy
In my opinion it is not a question IF these two targets can be met. In fact you will not have much other choice than to do this.
If you aim for cost leadership than you cannot target the quality leadership at the same time (for known reasons). Therefore your quality is in an ocean with many other low cost products and very often these products are simply exchangable. In order to stick out of this ocean you have to offer something to the customer and the strategy you might want to choose is the (product) differentiation.
The differentiation in additional customer service is something different and is mostly used with high quality objects in a top pricing range.
This is but a very short summary and would best be discussed in more detail.

agreed with hussain bro,,,
I dont think so, For example, a cost leader would focus research and development on process technologies in order to improve efficiency, but a differentiator would focus research and development on product technologies in order to add uniqueness.
