14、 made from high quality products “Freebie“ marketingA. In the late 1890s, while travelling as an itinerant salesperson for the Crown, Cork and Seal Company, King C. Gillette observed how his corked bottle caps were discarded immediately after opening. Nevertheless, his company turned o healthy profi
15、t and there was immense business value, Gillette soon came to realise, in a product that was used only a few times. Gillette had his own personal breakthrough while struggling with a straight-bladed razora slow, fiddly and potentially dangerous instrument that required sharpening on a regular basis.
16、 A simple, disposable blade that could be thrown away when it dulled would meet a real need and generate strong profits, he correctly reasoned. After founding the American Safety Razor Company in 1901, his sales leapt from 168 blades in 1903 to 123,648 blades only a year later. B. What King C. Gille
17、tte pioneered is for more than a convenient and affordable way for men to shave, however; it is the business practice now known as “freebie marketing“ that has inspired many more companies over the years. Gillette“s approach was contrary to the received wisdom of his era, which held that a single, d
18、urable, high-quality and relatively expensive consumer item with a high profit margin was the best foundation for a business. Freebie marketing involves two sets of items: a master product that is purchased once, and a consumable product that is frequently disposed of and repurchased on an ongoing b
19、asis. In this instance, the master product is often sold with little to no profit margin and is sometimes even dispensed at a loss. As the consumables are purchased over months and years, however, this can yield a much greater overall profit. C. Freebie marketing only works if the producer of the ma
20、ster item is also able to maintain control over the creation and distribution of the consumables. If this does not happen, then cheaper versions of the consumable items may be produced, leaving the original company without a source of profit. The video game company Atari, for example, initially sold
21、 its Atom 2600 consoles at cost price while relying on game sales for profit. Several programmers left Atari, however, and began a new company coiled Activision which produced cheaper games of a similar quality. Suddenly, Atari was left with no way to make money. Lawsuits to block Activision failed,
22、 and Atari survived only by adding licensing measures to its subsequent 5200 and 7800 consoles. D. In other instances, consumers sometimes find that uses for o master product circumvent the need to purchase consumables. This phenomenon is well known to have afflicted the producers of CueCat barcode
23、readers. These were given away free through Wired magazine with the intention that they would be used by customers to scan barcodes next to advertisements in the publication and thus generate new revenue flows. Users discovered, however, that the machines could be easily modified and used for other
24、purposes, such as building a personal database of book and CD collections. As no licensing agreement was ever reached between Wired and its magazine subscribers, CueCat were powerless to intervene, and after company liquidation the barcode readers soon became available in quantities over 500,000 for
25、 as little as U550.30 each. E. Not all forms of freebie marketing are legal. One notable example of this is the use of freebie marketing to “push“ habit-forming goods in areas where there is otherwise no market. For illegal substances this is already restricted on the basis of the product“s illegali
26、ty, but the use of freebie marketing to promote legal goods such as tobacco, alcohol and pharmaceuticals is also outlawed because the short-term gain to a small number of commercial outlets is not deemed worth the social cost of widespread substance abuse. F. Another practice that is prohibited unde
27、r antitrust laws is a form of freebie marketing known as “tying“. This is when a seller makes the sale of one good conditional on the acquisition of a second good. In these instances the first good is typically important and highly desirable, while the second is inferior and undesirable. A music dis
28、tributor who has the rights to an album that is in high demand, for example, might only allow stores to purchase copies of this album if they also buy unpopular stock that does not sell very easily.

Even before construction was completed, how
34、ever, flaws in the design were apparent; workers sucked on lemon slices to avoid motion sickness as the structure swayed in the relatively mild winds. Engineers tried three different revisions during construction to address the vibration problem. Initially, tie-down cables were anchored to fifty-ton
35、ne bulkheads on the river banks. These were ineffective, as the cables soon detached. Then a pair of inclined cable locks was introduced to connect the main cables to the bridge deck at mid-span. These stayed throughout the bridge“s lifespan, but did nothing to reduce vibration. A further measurethe

42、nguage that has its roots in the trans-Atlantic slave trade, as African captives devised the means to communicate with each other and with their captors. In the South of the United States, these Pan-African languages co-mingled with Standard English and the Southern dialect. Many uniquely African-Am
43、erican components have arisen over the last two centuries, and all of these influences have forged what is now known as Ebonics. In 1996, debates around the nature of “Ebonics“ in the United States came to a head. That year, the Oakland Unified School District in California enacted Resolution 597-00
44、3, which officially recognised that African-American students “as part of their culture and history as African people possess and utilize a language“. Alternatively referred to as Ebonics (literally “black sounds“), African Communication Behaviours, and African Language Systems, this language was de
45、clared to be “genetically-based“ rather than a dialect of Standard English. Within the profession of language research and pedagogy, a strong consensus formed behind the OUSD“s decision to recognise Ebonics. Linguistics professor John Rickford noted that Ebonics was not simply characterised by erron
46、eous grammar and a large slang vocabulary, but that underlying this language was a structured form and process of grammar and phonology that made English learning for Ebonics speakers far more complex a task than simply dropping bad habits. English teachers, Rickford counselled, must therefore accep
47、t and embrace these complexities. The Linguistic Society of America (LSA) concurred with Rickford, adding that whether or not Ebonics should be defined as a dialect or a language does not matter in terms of its “validity“. While linguists studying Ebonics typically restrain from prescribing edicts i
48、n favour of tracking changes in form and style, the LSA did point to the fact that speakers of Swedish and Norwegian can typically understand each other while conversing in different “languages“ whereas Mandarin and Cantonese speakers cannot understand each other“s “dialects“ to conclude that spatia
49、l and social tensions, rather than strict linguistic criteria, were the crucial factors in defining these terms. For many others, however, the OUSD“s decision was tantamount to endorsing lazy, vulgar and “broken“ Englishthe equivalent, perhaps, of acknowledging “txt“ speak or Internet slang as a valid form of expression. Recognising and fost
