110. The
following appeared in a memorandum from the
business office of the
Lovin‘ Cupful, a
national restaurant chain:
―The Lovin‘ Cupful franchises in our
northeast region have begun serving
customers Almost, a brand new powdered
instant tea, in place of brewed tea.
Waiters report that only about 2
percent of the customers have complained,
and
that customers who want
refills typically ask for ?more tea.‘ It appears,
then,
that 98 percent of the customers
are perfectly happy with the switch, or else
they cannot tell powdered instant from
brewed tea. Therefore, in order to take
advantage of the lower price per pound
of Almost, all of our restaurants should
begin substituting it for brewed
tea.‖
Discuss how well
reasoned . . . etc.
1). It
is a hasty generalization to assume that
―
98 percent of the customers
are
perfectly happy with the
switch
‖
. They might have no
opinion or simply choose
not to patron
this restaurant again.
2). The
experience from a single restaurant in the chain
can not be applied to
all the members
in the chain.

newspaper:
―Last year the
parents of first graders in our school district
expressed
satisfaction with the reading
skills their children developed but complained
strongly about their children‘s math
skills. To remedy this serious problem and
improve our
district‘s
elementary education, everyone in the

program at
Waymarsh University should be required to take
more courses in
mathematics.‖

following appeared in a memorandum from the
director of marketing
for a
pharmaceutical company:
―According to a
survey of 5,000 urban residents, the prevalence of
stress
headaches increases with
educational level, so that stress headaches occur
most often among people with graduate-
school degrees. It is well established
that, nationally, higher educational
levels usually correspond with higher levels
of income. Therefore, in marketing our
new pain remedy, Omnilixir, we should
send free samples primarily to graduate
students and to people with graduate
degrees, and we should concentrate on
advertising in professional journals
rather than in general interest
magazines.‖

113. The
following appeared in a letter to the editor of a
River City newspaper:
―The Clio
Devel
opment Group should not be
permitted to build a multilevel
parking
garage on Dock Street since most of the buildings
on the block would
have to be
demolished. Because these buildings were erected
decades ago,
they have historic
significance and must therefore be preserved as
economic
assets in the effort to
revitalize a restored riverfront area. Recall how
Lakesburg has benefited from business
increases in its historic downtown
center. Moreover, there is plenty of
vacant land for a parking lot elsewhere in
River City.‖

114. The following appeared
in a corporate planning memorandum for a
company that develops amusement parks:
―Because travel from our country to
foreign countries has increased
dramatically in recent years, our next
project
should be a ?World Tour‘ theme
park with replicas of famous foreign
buildings, rides that have international
themes, and refreshment stands serving
only foods from the country
represented
by the nearest ride. The best location would be
near our capital
city, which has large
percentages of international residents and of
children
under the age of 16. Given the
advantages of this site and the growing interest
in foreign countries, the ?World Tour‘
theme park should be
as successful as
our space-travel theme park, where
attendance has increased tenfold over the
past decade.‖

―The Clio Development Group‘s plan for
a multilevel parking garage on Dock
Street should be approved in order to
strengthen the economy of the
surrounding area. Although most of the
buildings on the block would have to
be
demolished, they are among the oldest in the city
and thus of little current
economic
value. Those who oppose the project should realize
that historic
preservation cannot be
the only consideration: even Athens or Jerusalem
will
knock down old buildings to put up
new ones that improve the local
economy.‖

The
following appeared in a memorandum from the owner
of Carlo‘s
Clothing to the staff:
―Since Disc Depot, the music store on
the next b
lock, began a new radio
advertising campaign last year, its
business has grown dramatically, as
evidenced by the large increase in foot
traffic into the store. While the Disc
Depot‘s
owners have
apparently become wealthy enough to retire,
profits at
Carlo‘
s Clothing
have remained stagnant for the past three years.
In order to
boost our sales and
profits, we should therefore switch from newspaper
advertising to
frequent
radio advertisements like those for Disc
Depot.‖

The following appeared as part of the business
plan of the Capital Idea
investment
firm:
―Across town in the Park Hill
district, the Thespian Theater, Pizzazz Pizza, and
the Niblick Golf Club have all had
business increases over the past two years.
Capital Idea should therefore invest in
the Roxy Playhouse, the
Slice-
o‘
- Pizza,
and the Divot Golf Club, three new
businesses in the Irongate district. As a
condition, we should require them to
participate in a special program: Any
customer who patronizes two of the
businesses will receive a substantial
discount at the third. By motivating
customers to patronize all three, we will
thus contribute to the profitability of
each
and maximize our
return.‖

now grown mainly in Asia, report that it

sleep. A recent study indicates that a
large number of college students who
took pills containing one of the
ingredients in Solacium suffered less
anxiety. To satisfy the anticipated
demands for this very promising
therapeutic herb and to reap the financial
benefits, farmers in this country
should begin growing it.‖

―Sales of
organic
food products in this country
have tripled over the past five
years.
If Aurora is to profit from this continuing trend,
we must diversify and
start selling
products such as organic orange juice and organic
eggs in
addition to our regular product
line. With the recent increase of articles in
health magazines questioning the safety
of milk and other food products,
customers are even more likely to buy
our line of organic products. And to help
