hi can anyone review my first AWA essay? it ill be really helpful.....
Davis Technologies, a computer-chip maker, could solve its problem of declining sales by dropping its prices. This would make Davis a better contender in the highly competitive computer chip market. The sales of chips would increase and this would substantially boost Davis' market share.
Describe how well reasoned you find this argument. In the discussion be sure to analyze the reasoning and the use of evidence in the argument. For example, you may need to consider what questionable assumptions underlie the writer's thinking and what alternative explanations or counterexamples might weaken the argument's conclusion. You may also address possible changes in the argument that would make it more logically sound, and what, if anything, would help you better evaluate its conclusion.
AWA ESSAY:-
The argument that Davis Technologies will solve its problem of declining sales by simply dropping its prices is flawed as it omits certain important concerns that must be addressed to strengthen the argument.The company simply assumes that by lowering its prices,it would become a major competitor in the current market.
Most importantly, the argument did not address why the sales began to decline in the initial stages.There could be a lot of reasons like substandard quality, poor customer service,inability to compete with innovative competitors etc.The company doesnt consider these factors and thereby has a very narrowed and biased approach to the actual problem.
Secondly,Davis Tech doesnt take into account the attributes which made its competitors successful in the market.Since, it is mentioned that it is a highly competitive market, there could many other factors in which its competitors are better than Davis Tech.The company must also consider the scenario what could happen if its competitors are already providing better innovative chips at lower costs than it is currently providing.Then the whole plan could be a failure.
Finally,the company assumes that the market share will boost only by lowering the costs, whereas in the actual scenario,it is governed by many other factors like inflation,current trend,innovation etc.Moreover,even if the sales of chips increase, there is no guarantee that it will raise Davis tech market share because if the chips are very cheap, they may not necessarily contribute to the company's profit.The argument also fails to consider what would happen if the sales of chips are not increased as there seems to be no other method to raise its sales if the only plan the company has fails to succeed.
Because the argument leaves many key issues,it is not sound or persuvasive.If it included the factors discussed above for the analysis of its drop in sales, the argument would have been more convincing.
