Sample Questions & Answers

How does the company adjust its inventory levels during periods of lower demand?

Because auto parts sales depend on how much people drive, demand decreases during recessions. During economic downturns, tourists and businesspeople travel less, and car owners delay maintenance and repairs.

 

How has the company been impacted by mass merchants like Wal-Mart taking more market share for oil and car cleaning products?

Retail auto parts stores face greater competition from large retailers such as Wal-Mart, Costco, Sears, and supermarket chains. These retailers are large enough to buy items directly from manufacturers and compete aggressively on prices charged to...

    Overview

    The US insurance agencies and brokerages industry includes about 135,000 establishments (single-location companies and branches of multi-location companies) with annual revenue of about $110 billion. Large companies include Marsh, Aon, Arthur J Gallagher, and State Farm. Despite the prominence of large companies in the commercial segment, the industry remains highly fragmented: the largest 50 firms only hold 20 percent of the total market. Many companies that primarily offer insurance products to businesses function mainly as brokers. Captive agencies operate as a sales agent for a single insurer, working on its behalf; independent brokers sell products from several providers.
