Abstract

The number of options might have an influence on the process of decision-making in our life. The previous research called the jam experiment showed that extensive choices may be negative for the consumers to make the final decisions. However, the previous research focused on consumers and they seldom paid attention to retailers. This essay will discuss the reasons and limitations behind the jam experiment. Also, the essay will try to find the effect on retailers and tried to provide solutions.
