Directions (11 to 12): In each of the following passages, there are blanks each of which has been
numbered. Choose the correct alternative to fill in the blanks appropriately.
11)Market share is 1. very important to a company, oddly sometimes more 2. than the bottom line.
There is always great competition for new customers. Many times the efforts and resources devoted
to 3. , marketing and selling to new customers are at the expense of a company’s loyal customer
base. This can even be seen at the local level. Where I live heating oil companies 4. offer new
customers a deal for the first year in order to lure them in. This, of course, is done at the expense of
old, loyal customers who have to make up the slack.
The result is that many savvy oil customers these days do a lot of shopping each year to find the
best deal 5. is a thing of the past. On a national level the problem has gotten even more serious. A
recent financial story in The New Yorker last month observed that there is almost universal
recognition that customer service in this country has deteriorated. Such service is considered a
’cost’. Companies are looking for the customers they don’t have so they are willing to spend on
marketing and advertising but are not as interested in adding to their costs of service. The article
made it sound a little like cynical dating. Companies are interested in luring you in but then once
they have you; they don’t quite value you as much as the next 6. customer they want to corral.

12)Whether in politics, professional sports, or in business, ’players’ 1. believe that because of their
importance they can ride out any issue or problem. They can’t. We can all easily tick off a dozen or
so examples, but the latest is surprising. Johnson & Johnson has 2. gone through a spate of recalls of
tainted children’s Tylenol and Motrin. The Company has generally kept a low profile and even
contracted with a third party to buy up Motrin off retail shelves rather than announce an actual recall.
And for the last decade it has been settling with claimants for a variety of injuries and death
allegedly due from Ortho Evra, a contraceptive 3. made by its subsidiary, Ortho McNeil. It appears
clear that the current management of J&J has not followed in the footsteps of the management that
handled the Tylenol crisis of 1982 which is 4. cited as the quintessential example of crisis
management in modern corporate history. Back then cyanide had been found in bottles of Tylenol in
the Chicago area. J&J immediately issued public warnings, issued a product recall, created tamperproof
packaging, and before long was back in business.The Company was up-front and willing to bite
the bullet in the best interests of the public. Unfortunately that does not 5. to be the philosophy
today. There is clearly a danger in believing one’s invincibility. The trust and respect of the public is
at stake, and once lost, is very difficult to retrieve.
