See the picture behind the numbers HELEN: I think the two pieces of information are not contradictory to each other. Putting them together you have a very good view of what’s happening. First, the market is shrinking. That’s why, although we were grabbing more market share and we maintained the leading position, the unit sales have been dropping and margins have been squeezed, because competition intensified in this area, so it might be a signal that it’s not a good market to compete in. Maybe we should re-allocate all company resources to other products and other markets. PAUL: I agree with Helen. I think it’s dangerous to focus only on one number and think that will give you the whole story. And what this case really illustrates very well is the necessity of having to put different numbers together and to see the picture behind the numbers.
