A high-end department store chain such as Nordstrom falls on the high end of the
implied demand uncertainty scale. The consistent changes in the fashion trends and
the target customers needs bolster this uncertainty.
The fashion items that Nordstrom stocks have extremely high product margin, they
are kept in inventory with high forecast errors and stockout rates are considerable,
and as the trend gets over, the excess stock is sold at rack stores with massive
discounts competing in off price markets.
