Consumer advocates believe it is; manufacturers do not. What is your thought and position on this issue?
Your R&D department has slightly changed one of your company’s products. It is not really “new and improved,” but you know that putting this statement on the package and in advertising will increase sales. What would you do?
An online store posted on their website a product for a lower than usual price. No promotion or special sale was involved. A large number of shoppers visited the website to purchase the product online and save lots of money.
