Sinopsis del Caso Tweeter

A comienzos de los años noventa, Tweeter, un distribuidor de tamaño mediano y regional de Estados Unidos, ubicado en el espectro alto de equipos de audio y video, enfrentaba en forma creciente la presión competitiva de grandes cadenas de nivel nacional. Como una forma de competir, en 1993, Tweeter introdujo el APP, Automatic Price Protection (Protección automática de precios), y el EDFP, Every Day Fair price (todos los días precios justos) como aspectos fundamentales de una estrategia para recobrar la credibilidad en sus precios en la mente de los consumidores. Bajo APP, Tweeter revisaba los anuncios en diarios locales para detectar cualquier rebaja de precios de la competencia en productos iguales a los que comercializaba. Al detectar un menor precio, automáticamente enviaba un cheque por la diferencia encontrada al cliente que había comprado en Tweeter. Tres años después, en 1996, Tweeter se preguntaba si debía terminar con el APP y el EDFP, y si estos habían tenido impacto en su habilidad para competir. ¿Cuál debería ser la política de precios más adecuada? ¿Cuál debiera ser la estrategia comunicacional adecuadea?

TWEETER ETC.

El 16 de agosto de 1996 Sandy Bloomberg, fundador y máximo responsable ejecutivo de Tweeter etc., reflexionaba- sobre la historia reciente de su pequeña tienda de electrónica de gama alta de Nueva Inglaterra. Tweeter, que en 1991 era una cadena de 13 establecimientos con un volumen de ventas anual de 35 millones de dólares, contaba a en 1996 con 21 establecimientos y sus ventas ascendían a 82 millones de dólares al año. Bloomerg siempre había atribuido parte de este crecimiento a la política de «Protección automática de precios» (APP) de Tweeter iniciada en 1993, y que consistía en que la tienda se comprometía a supervisar toda la publicidad de la prensa local, y devolver automáticamente el dinero, a aquel cliente que

    “My battery in my phone is dying” or “Oh, he can tweet but can’t text back?” is what floods Twitter user’s timeline on a daily basis. Meghan Daum refers to this as the Age of Oversharing in her essay “I Don’t Give a Tweet What You’re Doing,” where she sarcastically dissects the controversies behind Twitter and how nearly fourteen million users have completely abandoned Twitter’s “initial function to serve as an information conduit between close friends and family” (233). Along with her beliefs of Twitter adding to our already compromised interpersonal skills she carries the tone of being bitter and harsh throughout her essay as she evaluates the many answers to the question “what…

    Find me on Twitter, Facebook, and even MySpace, because we are here to change the world so “follow” me. I have read the writings of Malcolm Gladwell and Dennis Baron to analyze and write about. They have both presented different points and ideas on the significance of social media and how it has affected our world past and present. Gladwell’s essay, “Small Change: Why the Revolution Will Not Be Tweeted” is focused on the sit-in of 1960, an event started by four African American college students who went to a local diner for service, but were denied because of their race. This turned into a historic protest, stretching across the Deep South from North Carolina to as far as Texas, involving as many as 600 other protesters in a time when there was no internet or social media; not including the amount of police force and other organizations called in to try and stop the whole thing. He also feels that social media is not associated with strong activism such as this. While Dennis Baron’s story, “Reforming Egypt in 140 Characters?” is focused on the uprisings in the Middle East and how natives have organized and used social media and other lines of communication to spread their views to overthrow political powers. Although that is true he also points out that the government can manipulate the sites by putting up firewalls, and filtering the news that is spread; thus making it hard for social media to make a hug impact on revolutions that take place. Although Gladwell and Baron both address the role social media may or may not play in activism with a well-thought- out argument, I find Baron’s argument most persuasive because he presents current facts about how the Twitter Revolution was credited with fostering the ousting of former Middle Eastern presidents and the support it has provided for other protest over the last year. I am also living in a technology driven…
