The argument states that the manager president should discoutinue stocking the imported cheese on the basis of the survey, which indicates that the five-best-sellin cheeses in newest store were all domestic cheeses. However, there are some errors in the statement.
First, the survey only shows the five best-selling products in the newsest stores, not including the older ones. We can not make the same judgement that the best-selling cheeses in others stores are all domestic ones, too.
Second, the survey just tells us about what are the five best-selling cheeses, but doesn't shows how much percentage they occupy. It is possible that actually the summation of the other imported cheeses are responsible for more sales(銷售量) than domesticso ones.
Furthermore, according to the recent survey, it claims more customers prefer domestice cheeses. However, there is no information about the target group of the survey. The difference of distribution of residence, education, races, even age and gender, can make great bias towards the result of the survey. We can't believe the conclusion easily without the etail information.
Last, we will lose all market of the imported cheese if we discontinue the stocking. Though the market of imported cheese is on the increase, is has the limit. But we can explore new and bigger market by discovering the liche market of the imported cheeses.
As a result, we can't accept the statement that discontinueing the stocking of imported cheese can improve the profits. We can try to adjust the ratio of imported and domestic cheese first, and plan the next step according the more detail information the survey supports.
