Strategic Management Case Study of Four Worlds Restaurant
WHO? How would you describe the target segment? Which segments does Four Worlds not target? Make assumptions where needed in order to build on the information provided in the text and discuss the type of segmentation that would have revealed the need for such a restaurant as Four Worlds.
Chef Nadero Ravioli and his team of culinary experts have clearly positioned the ambitious and innovative business model of Four Worlds restaurant to target particular segments of the dining market.

The Four Worlds value proposition in relation to its competitors is premised on the notion of economical luxury, which differentiates the restaurant from others charging exorbitant simply as a matter of course.
