By 24/7 Wall Street: It is not unusual for companies with highly successful products to run out of inventory. Oftentimes, companies scramble at the last minute to meet an unexpected upsurge in demand. Some analysts also suspect that companies “create” shortages to boost interest in their products among consumers and the media. Rumors emerged that Apple did this with both the iPad and iPhone, though this has never been proven. Apple’s success has been so spectacular that it doesn’t matter whether the shortages are planned or not. The problem with product shortages will get worse for some companies because of the Japan earthquake. Several car companies have already slowed production because of the dwindling availability of parts.
