125. 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 within 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.”
Capital Idea投資公司的商業(yè)計(jì)劃：
在ParkHill區(qū)的Thespian劇院，Pizzazz比薩，Niblick高爾夫俱樂部在過去2年都有業(yè)務(wù)增長(zhǎng)。因此Capital Idea應(yīng)該投資Poxy劇場(chǎng)，Slic-o比薩和Divot高爾夫俱樂部這3家新的Irongate區(qū)的企業(yè)。為使他們達(dá)到條件，我們應(yīng)該要求他們參加特殊的項(xiàng)目：任何顧客在其中兩家消費(fèi)將在第三家得到折扣。通過刺激顧客在所有3家店消費(fèi)，我們將增進(jìn)每一家的利潤(rùn)，從而使我們的回報(bào)化。
1，
The author commits a fallcy of false analogy.
2，
Therefore the proposal of investment in the Irongate district is groundless. No investment should be made until other factors have been considered and the benefit-cost analysis has been made.
3，
The programme suggested by the author is reckless or even ridiculous. The possible result can be the opposite of the author's imagination because the consumers have interest of only one or two of the three stores.
1， The business increases occured in the past two years. No one can guarantee the future profit.
2， The three new companies are not necessarily analogous to those profitable ones.
3， The condition that is required is absurd. There is no causal relatioship between the condition and the collective profit.
8. The following appeared in a presentation by the chief production manager of a machine parts manufacturing company at a management meeting:
“Our factory in Cookville is our most advanced and efficient. It is capable of producing ten drill bits for each dollar of production costs, whereas none of our other factories can produce more than seven drill bits per dollar of production costs. Therefore, we can reduce our overall drill bit production costs by devoting the Cookville factory entirely to drill bit production. Since reducing the production costs of individual machine parts is the only way to achieve our larger goal of reducing our overall production costs, dedicating the Cookville factory entirely to drill bit production and shifting all other machine part production to our other factories will help us to attain that larger goal.”
Discuss how well reasoned . . .etc.
