As the success of the athletic teams at O-MY-U skyrocketed, so did attendance at the games. Out-of-town visitors found all the hotels fully booked. So Bob and Shirley opened their home to guests on weekends, operating as a bed-and-breakfast. Soon many of their neighbors did the same and Bob and Shirley found they could no longer fill all their rooms every game weekend. How would Michael Porter explain this?

the focus strategy was imitated.

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that in this scenario Micheal Porter would explain this as the focus strategy was imitated. This is because the focus strategy that Bob and Shirley implemented in order to satisfy the need for people needing a place to stay was copied (imitated) by their neighbors who managed to take many customers away from Bob and Shirley, which is why they could no longer book all their rooms.
