The super automotive category killer: why now? What future?
Abstract
While “category killers” have been a major retailing force in many product categories for nearly a generation, only recently has the concept extended to the retail used‐car market. Discusses several aspects of these “super automotive category killers (SACKs),” including why they developed in the mid‐1990s and their potential vulnerabilities. Provides managerial recommendations for existing and potential market participants.
