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 up-market retailing network that helped push sales to $1 billion annually, ahead of all other sports shoes 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 shoes 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 not sell its high quality shoes in discount stores.
B、A company should not limit its distribution network.
C、A company should do follow-up surveys of its products.
D、A company should correctly evaluate the impact of a new craze on the market.
答案
D
解析
本题是要点推论题。确定答案位置在最后一段,讲市场预测与决策。Nike公司正是由于当时错误地判断了健身鞋流行的力度,而导致了老产品(running shoes)的积压而不得不打折销售,这是市场预测不准确所导致的。
