The business manager of Valu Mart(VM)claim the contention that the office supply departments will become the most profitable component of their stores. To support the assertion,he also cites a survey an several portential means to achieve this goal.Nevertheless, the careful scrutiny reveals that his recommends are not lead strong support to the conclusion .

First of all.the survey is too problematic to be meaningful substantiate that pandering to work at home trend will be profitable for VM. first , people who responds to survey might be workers in some companies that just reform the traditional working style to home working, so they might only accounts for a small portion and be not representative
for the overall working trend.besides , it is unreasonable to assume that the trend in a recent survey will continue in the future.

secondly , it is unreasonable to assume that VM can earn money stocking home office machines and office supplies, since increasing stock of products does not necessarily bring stores with more profits.on the other hand , the increasing cost of the place occupy will cut the whole profits. It is entirely possible that the trend of work at home will change soon , which means all stock of this kind cannot be sale out in market, let alone earn money.

Finally, the assumption that office supply departments will become the most profitable in VM is also unwarranted .since it provide the false dilemma that VM only operates two kinds of stores , selling home working machines and office machines. it is entirely possible that other stores will be more profitable than these two kinds in the future.Besides , all the means aiming to improve profits are related to home working trend and the author provides no substance to predict that office machine sales will profit from the plans.

To sum up, the arguer provides unpersuasive evidence to support his or her assertion in this argument. To convince me that the recommendations are reasonable and feasible , the author should also presents facts about the general situation in working markets and the trends of office machines to substantiate his or her predication
