Case study examining claims for legitimacy or fallacy | BSL 4080 – Creative Thinking & Problem Solving | Columbia Southern University

  • slow economy, so no one is buying watches of any kind;
  • salespeople are not provided adequate resources to properly market the watches;
  • the quality of the watches has declined to the point that people do not want to buy them;
  • the supply chain is unable to keep up with orders, so deliveries are slow, and customers are cancelling orders;
  • the financial manager does not like the marketing department, so we cannot trust the numbers he produces; and
  • the marketing manager should just get rid of the salespeople who are not able to hit the established sales targets.
