Different aspects of marketing and their implication for marketing strategy.
Case Discussion
We will read several cases in this class. The cases are chosen to highlight different aspects of marketing and their implication for marketing strategy. Cases are unlike most writing. They are not research articles, news articles, or nonfiction books. They do not make an argument or reach a conclusion. That is your job. Below, is a set of instructions for the case discussion; however, you need not restrict yourself to these guidelines, please feel free to add any info that you consider relevant and important. One thing to keep in mind is that the firm’s actual decision/ action in real life (which you might come across while you do your research) may not be the best approach.

c.) Identify Alternative Strategies: Based on the analysis in b., identify possible alternative strategies to cope with the problem defined in a.
d.) Course of Action: Recommend courses of action.
