  RC practice - 17th May | CAT 2019 Slot 1 | Passage 2 (Choice fatigue)Â
Contemporary internet shopping conjures a perfect storm of choice anxiety. Research has consistently held that people who are presented with a few options make better, easier decisions than those presented with many. . . . Helping consumers figure out what to buy amid an endless sea of choice online has become a cottage industry unto itself. Many brands and retailers now wield marketing buzzwords such as curation, differentiation, and discovery as they attempt to sell an assortment of stuff targeted to their ideal customer. Companies find such shoppers through the data gold mine of digital advertising, which can catalog people by gender, income level, personal interests, and more. Since Americans have lost the ability to sort through the sheer volume of the consumer choices available to them, a ghost now has to be in the retail machine, whether itâs an algorithm, an influencer, or some snazzy ad tech to help a product follow you around the internet. Indeed, choice fatigue is one reason so many people gravitate toward lifestyle influencers on Instagramâthe relentlessly chic young moms and perpetually vacationing 20-somethingsâwho present an aspirational worldview, and then recommend the products and services that help achieve it. . . .Â
For a relatively new class of consumer-products start-ups, thereâs another method entirely. Instead of making sense of a sea of existing stuff, these companies claim to disrupt stuff as Americans know it. Casper (mattresses), Glossier (makeup), Away (suitcases), and many others have sprouted up to offer consumers freedom from choice: The companies have a few aesthetically pleasing and supposedly highly functional options, usually at mid-range prices. Theyâre selling nice things, but maybe more importantly, theyâre selling a confidence in those things, and an ability to opt out of the stuff rat race. . . .Â
One-thousand-dollar mattresses and $300 suitcases might solve choice anxiety for a certain tier of consumer, but the companies that sell them, along with those that attempt to massage the larger stuff economy into something navigable, are still just working within a consumer market thatâs broken in systemic ways. The presence of so much stuff in America might be more valuable if it were more evenly distributed, but stuffâs creators tend to focus their energy on those who already have plenty. As options have expanded for people with disposable income, the opportunity to buy even basic things such as fresh food or quality diapers has contracted for much of Americaâs lower classes.Â
For start-ups that promise accessible simplicity, their very structure still might eventually push them toward overwhelming variety. Most of these companies are based on hundreds of millions of dollars of venture capital, the investors of which tend to expect a steep growth rate that canât be achieved by selling one great mattress or one great sneaker. Casper has expanded into bedroom furniture and bed linens. Glossier, after years of marketing itself as no-makeup makeup that requires little skill to apply, recently launched a full line of glittering color cosmetics. There may be no way to opt out of stuff by buying into the right things
Q.6 Based on the passage, all of the following can be inferred about consumer behaviour EXCEPT that:
AnsÂ
1. too many options have made it difficult for consumers to trust products.
2. consumers tend to prefer products by start-ups over those by established
companies.Â
3. consumers are susceptible to marketing images that they see on social media.
4. having too many product options can be overwhelming for consumers.
Q.7 Which one of the following best sums up the overall purpose of the examples of Casper and Glossier in the passage?
AnsÂ
1. They are exceptions to a dominant trend in consumer markets.
2. They are increasing the purchasing power of poor Americans.
3. They might transform into what they were exceptions to.
4. They are facilitating a uniform distribution of commodities in the market.
Q.8 A new food brand plans to launch a series of products in the American market. Which of the following product plans is most likely to be supported by the author of the passage?
AnsÂ
1. A range of 10 products priced between $10 and $25.
2. A range of 25 products priced between $10 and $25.
3. A range of 10 products priced between $5 and $10.
4. A range of 25 products priced between $5 and $10.
Q.9 Which of the following hypothetical statements would add the least depth to the authorâs prediction of the fate of start-ups offering few product options?
AnsÂ
1. With Casper and Glossier venturing into new product ranges, their regular customers start losing trust in the companies and their products.
2. An exponential surge in their sales enables start-ups to meet their desired profit goals without expanding their product catalogue.
3. With the motive of promoting certain rival companies, the government decides to double the tax-rates for these start-ups.
4. Start-ups with few product options are no exception to the American consumer market that is deeply divided along class lines
Q.10 All of the following, IF TRUE, would weaken the authorâs claims EXCEPT:
AnsÂ
1. the annual sales growth of companies with fewer product options were higher thanthat of companies which curated their products for target consumers.
2. the annual sale of companies that hired lifestyle influencers on Instagram for marketing their products were 40% less than those that did not.
3. product options increased market competition, bringing down the prices of
commodities, which, in turn, increased purchasing power of the poor.
4. the empowerment felt by purchasers in buying a commodity were directly
proportional to the number of options they could choose from.

Hey Seniors, How is the peer learning going to be in online modules? I had a great peer learning in my undergrad and I feel the same experience cannot happen in an online course. Now that IIMs are planning to go online, I am not sure of the quality of course that is going to be offered. Should I plan for next year or go ahead with the admit this year. Am I making a mistake if I drop an admit this year?
What's the parameter which Z denotes ?? Whether it is percentage or raw score !? And say I have got 10 CGPA in X and 88.8% in XII . Now in 2013 , 10 CGPA would be Zmax while in 2015 ,Class XII topper (commerce background) had Zmax 99.2 % . Can anyone clarify what will be the composite scores from X and XII . And, also do provide the CS cutoff for Indore this year/past , if anyone have any idea !! Thanks in Advance !!
What is the CAT cutoff for DoMS IISc 2020 ?
