Value creation and value capture mechanisms that Amazon uses in its business model

Compare and contrast how your local grocery (Publix, Winn Dixie, Sedanos, Presidente, Aldi, Fresco y Mas or my favorite Trader Joes) would position the pre-made meals area of its stores if it were trying to excel on performance, price, or relational value. What value proposition do you recommend as the path to sustainable competitive advantage?
Performance: emphasize quality, taste, convenience, nutrition, or other functional attributes. Aim for parity with competitors on customization and price.
Price: emphasize low price. Aim for parity with competitors on customization and on functional attributes (quality, taste, etc.).
Relational: emphasize personal touch, customization, and service. Aim for parity with competitors on functional attributes (quality, taste, etc.) and pricing.
