The following is a memo from the business manager of Valu-Mart stores.
'Over 70 percent of the respondents to a recent survey reported that they are required to take more work home with them from the workplace than they were in the past. Since Valu-Mart has not seen impressive sales in its office-supply departments in the past, we should take advantage of this work-at-home trend by increasing at all Valu-Mart stores the stock of home office machines such as printers, small copy machines, paper shredders, and fax machines. We will also increase stock of office supplies such as paper, pens, and staplers. With these changes, our office-supply departments will become the most profitable component of our stores.'
------正文------
The author fails to take into account that the survey is still questionable due to lack of respondents data, and mistakenly assumes that the respondents will need home office products sold by his stores.
To begin with, there no detailed information about the survey on which the arguer based to claim the home office products would increase in the future. Who was in charge of the survey? Was the survey conducted impartially and with random sampling principle? Can the respondents represent the general situations around this district? Maybe these respondents were too few to represent all officers or the survey was not carried out carefully so that it is an invalid research which can not be regarded as evidence. In addition, recently is a vague word in a scientific research. How long time can be called recently? Is it a year or a month? Without a detailed and authentic survey, we can hardly draw a considerate conclusion.
Secondly, the author fails to provide the necessity those officers who need bring work home will use home office machines. In fact, even a busy office worker may need no home office machines. Perhaps they just do some editor job, think some ideas about their jobs, and contact with their consumers. As for a head of the advertising department, he may only need conceive good ideas at home and communicate with others, and then design the blue plan in the computer other than on the paper. After all, electronic technology has developed so well that more and more people rely on the computer to deal with problems they confront everyday. And the communication is so convenient than they can print beyond a distant place so they need no papers, print machines at home.
Furthermore, even if there are really some needs of home office machines, we can not conclude we will profit most by means of stocking these products. In other words, we need an overall market analysis and market estimate to draw a more convincing and safe conclusion. Maybe these home office machines are produced by a relatively few factories and their prices are too high which prevents its popularity in a broad district. Thus we can not get enough consumers to profit. Maybe the need trend is not stable and lasting for a long time. Without ruling out these possibilities, we can not ensure our profit, not to mention we will be the most profitable component because there is no information referring to other departments.
In sum, the author makes a rash decision to stock home office product, which lack of persuasive evidence. Without considerable and prudent market research and analysis, the stores may fall into trouble of losing rather than profit. |
