The Silver Bullet Syndrome.
Dehne, George C.
Trusteeship, v3 n6 p13-17 Nov-Dec 1995
Many colleges address complex problems with a single "silver bullet" strategy. Because value shifts according to the consumer's situation or goal, private colleges should become more aware of their "situational value" and exploit it. This requires an understanding of how students choose colleges. In contrast, popular silver bullets target rankings, admissions, geodemographics, marketing, creative pricing, and dependence on government. (MSE)
