Show summary

Support Consumers seek to purchase the highest quality at the lowest prices. █████████ ████ ██ ███ █████ ████████ ████ ███████ █████████ ██████████ ██ █████████ ██████████ █████████ ████ █████ ███████ ███ ████ ███████ ███ ███ ██████ █████ ████ ██████████ ██ █████████

Summary

The author concludes that if companies don’t offer the best quality and don’t offer the lowest price, they’ll eventually go bankrupt. As support, she says that if companies don’t offer products that attract consumers, they’ll eventually go bankrupt. She also says consumers want high quality at the lowest prices.

Missing Connection

The author says companies without products that attract consumers will go bankrupt, but she doesn’t link "attractive products" to "low prices and best quality."

To get from her premises to her conclusion, she must assume that products that are neither the best quality nor the lowest price will not attract consumers. This guarantees that companies without these products will go bankrupt.

Note: Just because consumers want high quality at low prices doesn't mean products that aren't the best quality nor the lowest price won’t attract consumers.
