Module 2: Case Analysis Assignments: Due Monday @ 11:55 pm

You will have case analysis questions to answer that mainly focused on the week’s learning module. As this is a graduate-level course, each of you must apply at least one to two marketing concepts or theories from course readings and instructor lectures and provide at least one to two original citations of appropriate literature, articles, etc. to back up your responses per question.

To receive full credit, each question response must cite at least one to two journal articles or trade publications. Please cite all sources at the bottom of your responses using your choice of either APA or MLA style (Google scholar has an easy tool for copying citations). All writing must be based on some facts or literature research, not purely based on your opinions.

The grading on each case analysis assignment will be based on the Case Analysis Grading Rubric (see course syllabus).
