Read the article below about Reebok.
For the question 13—18, mark one letter A, B, C or D on your Answer Sheet for the answer you choose.
Reebok executives do not like to hear their stylish athletic shoes called "footwear for yuppies" . They contend that Reebok shoes appeal to diverse market segments, especially now that the company offers basketball and children’s shoes for the under-18 set and walking shoes for older customers not interested in aerobics or running. The executives also point out that through recent acquisitions they have added hiking boots, dress and casual shoes, and high performance athletic footwear to their product lines, all of which should attract new and varied groups of customers.
Still, despite its emphasis on new markets, Reebok plans few changes in the upmarket retailing network that helped push sales to $ 1 billion annually, ahead of all other sports shoe marketers. Reebok shoes, which are priced from $ 27 to $ 85, will continue to be sold only in better specialty, sporting goods, and department stores, in accordance with the company’s view that consumers judge the quality of the brand by the quality of its distribution.
In the past few years, the Massachusetts-based company has imposed limits on the number of its distributors (and the number of shoes supplied to stores), partly out of necessity. At times the unexpected demand for Reebok’s exceeded supply, and the company could barely keep up with orders from the dealers it already had. These fulfillment problems seem to be under control now, but the company is still selective about its distributors. At present, Reebok shoes are available in about five thousand retail stores in the United States.
Reebok has already anticipated that walking shoes will be the next fitness-related craze, replacing aerobics shoes the same way its brightly colored, soft leather exercise footwear replaced conventional running shoes. Through product diversification and careful market research, Reebok hopes to avoid the distribution problems Nike came across several years ago, when Nike misjudged the strength of the aerobics shoe craze and was forced to unload huge inventories of running shoes through discount-stores.
What lesson has Reebok learned from Nike’s distribution problems?
选项
A、A company should do follow-up surveys of its products.
B、A company should not sell its high quality shoes in discount stores.
C、A company should correctly evaluate the impact of a new craze on the market.
答案
C
解析
问题是“从耐克的销售存在的问题中,锐步吸取了什么教训?”在第四段中提到锐步也预测到了市场中的craze,并准备迎合消费者的兴趣,说明它已经做了市场调查,所以A是错误的。选项B涉及的是Nike在出现错误后做出的补救措施,所以B也是错误的。从上一题可知,Nike的错误在于判断craze在市场中的影响力度(strength)有误,因此,锐步需要避免重蹈覆辙,必须作出正确的计划,所以C是正确的答案。其中impact与strength同义。
