  • Draft 1: Understanding the Marketing Environment for [Product Name] Marketing Mix and Buyer Behavior for Company X’s Product: A Strategic Analysis

    Strategic Marketing Brief
    The Course Project is a strategic marketing brief and summary presentation for a new product. Similar to a complete marketing plan, the brief includes topics such as the marketing mix and promotional mix. In contrast to a marketing plan, the strategic brief communicates these and other topics to a different audience. It addresses senior executives and investors rather than managers and frontline workers. As such, your brief will focus on why your marketing organization is doing what it is doing, rather than the details of what it is doing and how.
    Although you will discuss tactical activities such as advertising and breakeven point, strive to communicate a high-level strategic perspective with your writing. To help gain that perspective in the context of marketing, be sure to watch the Week 2: PlayPosit, which discusses strategic leadership using marketing examples that have turned into goods, services, and ideas that are still in market today. As you watch the PlayPosit, focus on the question posed: Why does a product exist?
    Begin by selecting a product and company to use as an example throughout the brief. By using one product and company, the research, organization, and presentation of your recommendations will be easier. Your product and company can be imaginary, or a business you would be interested in starting, or an existing product and company that are in market today. The product can be B2C or B2B, and the company can be any organizational structure. The product and company are not important, because they will merely serve as examples. That is to say, you’ll include the what and the how, but you’ll focus your writing about the why.

  • “Exploring the Complexities of Black-White Relations in Colonial America Through Primary Sources”

    Your post should answer one question or your take on that question based on interesting primary sources.
    • do NOT answer each question in order
    This week…
    The case study for this module is on the nature of relations between Black and white people in colonial America.

  • The Nature and Nurture Contributions to Child Obesity: A Developmental Psychology Perspective

    Each of the paper options listed below allow you the opportunity to explore the scientific research behind a theme in the Developmental (Lifespan) Psychology course. The paper should be between 3 and 5 pages long, not including title page and reference page. The paper should be written in APA style. At a minimum, this means it should include:
    Title Page
    Double-spaced, 12-pt Times-New Roman text. Remove extra space between paragraphs that is the default in MS Word.
    1” margins on all four sides
    References page (all references cited in the text, all citations included on the references page)
    Paper Option #1
    Nature/Nurture
    Developmental science focuses on the various contributions to development, and whether they lean toward the genetic side of things (nature) or environmental (nurture). Choose from one of the following topics discussed in the modules:
    child obesity
    eating disorders
    adolescent depression
    aging
    For this paper, review the module material on your specific topic. Then, write a paper describing in detail the “nature” (primarily genetic, inherited) contributions to this condition as well as the “nurture” contributions. You will need to conduct Internet research and cite the sources to obtain additional information on your topic. For example, explaining the inherited reasons for a child to be obese will require that you visit, read, summarize, and cite medical sites on the Internet. It is crucial that you rephrase material in your own words and cite it or put phrases from the sources in quotation marks and cite them. No more than a few sentences should be directly quoted in order for you to receive credit for writing this paper (in other words, no credit is given for a paper that is a string of other people’s quotes). As a general rule of thumb, at least 1.5 pages should focus on “nature” contributions to the issue at hand and at least 1.5 pages should focus on “nurture” contributions.
    Your research must include at least four journal articles or books. Websites can be very helpful and informative, but your final paper must include full, published research articles or books on the topic. Sources should be reputable and consistent with what you learned in the module as well as other sources. GoogleScholar and PDF articles from the Internet can be helpful resources. Make sure you use good search terms when trying to find articles. You may want to start broad (for example, “bystander effect”), and then narrow to your particular area. This paper requirement means that you need to include at least two primary sources in your paper; articles from the Internet can be included, but they would be in addition to the two minimum primary sources. Primary sources are firsthand accounts; thus, they involve the author writing about his or her own work.
    It is recommended that you spend at least a page and a half discussing “nature” for this topic and a page and at least a half discussing “nurture.” Finally, conclude the paper by indicating which side (nature, nurture) gives the strongest contribution to this condition or whether they are both needed. For example, for child obesity, is genetics alone a sufficient cause for a child to be obese, or are poor eating habits necessary along with a genetic predisposition? The paper should follow the following format:
    I. Introduction. Introduce your topic.
    II. Description and research on “nature” components
    III. Description and research on “nurture” components
    IV. Evaluation: which side (nature, nurture) most strongly contributes?
