The reading and the lecture are both about the decision of ecocertification of american wood companies. The author of the passage believes that wood companies in united States will not be issuing ecofriendly certificate from the international organisation. However, the lecturer casts doubts in the claims stated by the author. He states that in the event of sustaining forest american wood firms will seek the ecocertification.
Firstly, the author of the reading notes that since the american consumers generally are not too much bothered about the advertisement claims they would not value the ecocertificated labels. The lecturer challenges this statement. He argues that customers in united states are concerned about the claims made by the trustworthy international consumer agency and has held lot of belief in them. As a result, they would distinguish between the claims made by them and other regular agency offering the product.
Secondly, the author mentions that the product becomes costly when its certified and eventually the customers are would choose cheaper uncertified wood product. Therefore, the companies would not prefer to get certified. The lecturer rebuts this by revealing from a study which found that price alone is considered when there are two products in the market are being merchandised. Moreover, he asserts that price is just five percent lesser than uncertified one which does not make any significant difference.
Finally, the author posits that with regard to American wood companies certification makes sense only when the product is marketed abroad. But most of the product is sold in domestic market itself they do not need to get certified. The lecturer contradicts this statement. He points out that ecocertified product when entered into american markets from abroad it will create competition in the market for the domestic product. Thus, the native companies will get certified without any delay in order to ensure that their position is not lowered in the business.
