In 2010, domino's launched a new advertising campaign admitting that its pizzas had not tasted very good, but claiming that they had developed a new recipe that greatly improved the taste. if domino's succeeded in convincing consumers that its pizza was significantly better than competing pizzas, would its demand curve become flatter or steeper? when a product becomes lessless differentiated from other products, its demand curve becomes ▼ steeper flatter . this happens because the slope of the demand curve reflects buyer responsiveness to a price change, which is determined in part by the availability of substitutes. thus, when a product becomes lessless differentiated from other products, buyers perceive it as having ▼ fewer more good substitutes, and this altered perception induces buyers to be ▼ less more responsive to price.

Who is better at multi-tasking? in business, employees are often asked to perform a complex task when their atten-tion is divided (i.e., multi-tasking). human factors (may 2014) published a study designed to determine whether video game players are better than non–video game play-ers at multi-tasking. each in a sample of 60 college stu-dents was classified as a video game player or a non-player. participants entered a street crossing simulator and were asked to cross a busy street at an unsigned intersec-tion. the simulator was designed to have cars traveling at various high rates of speed in both directions. during the crossing, the students also performed a memory task as a distraction. two variables were measured for each student: (1) a street crossing performance score (measured out of 100 points) and (2) a memory task score (measured out of 20 points). the researchers found no differences in either the street crossing performance or memory task score of video game players and non-gamers. “these results,” say the researchers, “suggest that action video game players [and non-gamers] are equally susceptible to the costs of dividing attention in a complex task”
