For many American consumers, the purchase of a personal computer has shifted from an extended problem-solving decision to a limited problem-solving decision. How does this change the way retail stores should display and sell computers?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary, but consumers involved in extended problem solving will devote considerable time and effort to evaluating alternatives. For personal computer companies, well-trained salespeople both in-store and online were needed to address consumers' questions. Now that many American consumers know more about personal computer features and options, online software and informative displays are often enough to guide consumer decision making.

Corporate Dissolution. I. Burack, Inc, was a family-operated close corporation that sold plumbing supplies in New York. The founder and president, Israel Burack, transferred his shares in the corporation to other family members; and when Israel died in
1974, the position of president passed to his son, Robert Burack. Robert held a one-third interest in the company, and the remainder was divided among Israel's other children and grandchildren. All shareholders participated in the corporation as employees or officers and thus relied on salaries and bonuses, rather than dividends, for distribution of the corporation's earnings. In 1976, several of the family-member employees requested a salary increase from Robert, who claimed that company earnings were not sufficient to warrant any employee salary increases. Shortly thereafter, a shareholders' meeting was held (the first in the company's fifty-year history), and Robert was removed from his position as president and denied the right to participate in any way in the corporation. Robert sued to have the company dissolved because he had been frozen out. Discuss whether Robert should succeed in his suit or whether the court would choose another alternative.
