Yоu аre аssigned tо leаd a grоup in a brainstorming session to generate new solutions to increasing sales across retail stores. a) What common biases or heuristics might lead the group to generate fewer and less creative solutions than those generated by “nominal” groups? How would you structure the brainstorming session to avoid this problem and maximize possible solutions generated? b) One team member pointed out that the few smaller stores of the company are over-represented among the top performers, and suggested a strategy of reducing the number of large stores and increasing the number of small boutique stores. Would you take their advice? Why or why not? How would test for the merit of this claim? c) After deliberation, your team decides to launch an online marketing campaign which is similar to what other firms have implemented in the past. The data from previous campaigns suggest a large return of investment. Specifically, many of the purchases were made after consumers saw the ad. However, the data are historical and you suspect that they may overestimate effect of ads on consumer purchases. If you can design an experiment to test the causal effect of the ad campaign, how would you do it?
