Marketing director for Nova Industries: Whenever Nova opens a new distribution center in a different region, the company should contribute to various local charities. This would enhance Nova's reputation in the area, and thus the funds allocated for these charitable activities would result in higher sales. Which statement would, if true, indicate the most significant flaw in the marketing director's recommendation?
Answer Choices
Sign in to reveal the correct answerA
If employees at the distribution center feel their pay or working conditions are inadequate, their dissatisfaction would overshadow any positive impressions created by Nova's charitable contributions.
B
Nova's products are sold globally, so revenue from any single region is only a minor fraction of overall income.
C
Allocating funds for charitable contributions would necessitate a reduction in direct marketing efforts, which are the most effective way to engage potential customers.
D
Changes in market dynamics could force Nova to shut down or move the distribution center.
E
Some charities are inefficiently managed, meaning that donations to them may not effectively benefit the local community.
