2. Say the name Midas, and many people would automatically respond, muffler. That’s the way Midas likes it, but shop managers must find ways to cope with nonuniform demand.

Visit a Midas Web site by using the keywords Midas Muffler, or go directly to the site posted by Midas Albuquerque, at www.midasabq.com. Browse through the site to familiarize yourself with the company and its services. Then write a memo describing specific strategies you think a Midas shop manager could use to combat nonuniform demand. (Hint: Note that Midas Albuquerque offers more services than just the installation of mufflers and exhaust systems.)
