A home improvement store adds several workers to the garden center in the summer in order to meet the demands of do-it-yourselfers for their dazzling array of plants. Once gardening season is over, both the workers' jobs (and the plants they sold)will perish. The home improvement store is following an offloading strategy.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The home improvement store is following a seasonal strategy, not an offloading strategy. They are hiring additional workers and stocking more plants to meet the increased demand during gardening season, but they do not plan to simply dispose of these workers and plants once the season is over. They will likely cut back on staffing and plant orders until the next gardening season.
