I’m leaning towards long-term cost optimization, but I could see how short-term could be a factor too.

I feel like medium-term cost equalization might be the answer, but it doesn't sound right for cost leadership.

I remember a practice question that mentioned short-term cost minimization, but that seems too narrow for a strategy.

I'm a little confused by the wording of the question. Is it asking about the overall focus or just one specific design factor of a cost leadership strategy? I'll need to re-read this carefully.

Okay, I've got this. A cost leadership strategy is all about optimizing costs in the long run to undercut competitors on price. So the right answer has to be A - long-term cost optimization.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the difference between the answer choices here. I'll need to think carefully about what each one implies in terms of the time horizon and focus of a cost leadership strategy.

C'mon, short-term cost minimization? That's just a recipe for disaster. You need to think about the big picture here.
