Oriole Airlines plans to offer a $25 discount to anyone who books a flight directly through the airline's Web site. The executives reason that this strategy will increase net profits by encouraging consumers to visit the Oriole Airlines Web site directly rather than shop for less expensive flights through independent Web sites that list fares from different airlines.
Which of the following, if true, would present the most serious potential weakness of the plan?
(A) Many rival airlines already offer discounts to people who book flights directly through their Web sites.
(B) Most consumers who shop for flights on independent Web sites find that Oriole's fares the lowest.
(C) Most independent Web sites that list fares from different airlines do not include special discounts that airlines offer only through their own Web sites.
(D) Consumers who shop for less expensive fares through independent Web sites usually book flights through those Web sites rather than directly through airline Web sites.
(E) Oriole Airlines fares are generally not more than $20 less expensive than the least expensive fares from rival airlines for similar flights.
这道题答案是B 但是我选的D。
这道题我和朋友讨论之后有争议的点:
1.这道题他们想要抢到官网上来的consumer到底是在independent web site上买便宜票的人 还是在independent web site买O航空票的人?
2. 目标是为了让人来官网买票还是为了increase profit? 为啥来官网买票就increase profit了(因为文章题目里并没有提及在独立网站上航空公司就赚的少,但我觉得这里不应该用到这个常识和预设逻辑)
我的理解是 他们的目标是想要increase profit,想要吸引的是第三方网站上买便宜票的人。正确选项说现在在第三方网站上顾客已经在买O航的了,所以在官网上减价不但无法吸引来消费者,还要再减少25的利润。
可如果目标是第三方网站上买便宜票的人,那么消费者因为价格敏感, 所以他们的消费行为不会停在找到“the lowest price on independent web site”上,他们还会比较和官网的价格然后挑最便宜的。
可是文章也并没有讲官网-25之后有没有比第三方网站上的低,如果官网减价后确实比第三方网站上的还低,即使O航已经是lowest,还是可以吸引消费者到官网上买票。那么这个时候只有D可以削弱了。
就算不考虑-25和第三方网站上O航票谁便宜,
B和D的效果是一样的:第三方网的用户打开网站找到最低票价的航空公司,心满意足离去。因为消费者永远能在第三方网站上找到一个最便宜的,不管是买到O航A航还是B航。B的削弱并不比D强。
求解答,是我哪里想多了吗还是理解有问题
