Design a study to identify what might be the probable ultimate cause/s of the decline in sales. For looking at the different causes, consider the box and arrow diagram given. Note the following things about the box and arrow diagram: If the arrow’s head is towards a box, that means the variable in the box (where the arrow’s head is) affects the variable in the box from where the arrow originated. E.g “Revenue/Sales” is affected by the “Number of shoppers/customers”. The boxes in grey are the variables you as a firm/owner can directly expect to affect which can further affect other variables in the model. E.g. You can incorporate training programs to improve “customer service” perceptions and, ultimately “Sales”. There is a hierarchy of the variables such that we have started from the broadest ones in thetop and then went to the finer one. The motivation for the research group here is to design a study for the store. This study is to find out the customer’s current perception…

Gray Electric is a company with a long tradition of innovation. In 1973, they invented the world's first cellular phone and spent many years trying to understand how this new technology would impact their existing business. Gray Electric was in a position to become the first company in the world to develop and market a cell phone, but the upper management of Gray Electric had become complacent with making corded phones and could not imagine a world without landline phones. Because they had been the industry leader for decades and had faced very little competition along the way, the culture of Gray Electric had become rule-oriented and placed a high value on stability. Upper management decided that producing cell phones would only hurt their landline phone sales and quickly abandoned their cell phone endeavour. In 1987, they realized what a bad mistake they had made. Sales of their landline phones were decreasing drastically every year, and Gray Electric was losing money and cutting…
