That may be true, but they did have the opportunity to see how the
sale was received and perhaps revise their approach to minimize
potential problems.

Besides the indicator of "Limited to quantity on hand", what else would you
suggest that they do?


But Woodcraft saw what happened to the other retailers whose sales
occurred before Woodcraft's own sale. To blindly continue with plans as
formulated smacks of a rigid, non-adaptable corporation.

Yeah, they ccould have hot had the sale at all.


Plans give a direction and purpose to corporate efforts,
blindly following the plan after new information is available is a
recipe for disaster.

And yet, what exactly was the disaster? Was it the highly successful sale
and a LOT of happy customers? Or is it a disaster because a lot of people
cannot comprehend "Limited to quantity on hand"?
