Midterm Exam

Midterm Exam

Order Description

This paper has two parts. You must fully answer both parts
This is an opportunity to consolidate learning and to apply the marketing topics (concepts and theories) that is learned in two “real world” situations.
Do not have to use external resources, as these textbooks (Marketing Management, 15TH Edition and Ethical Marketing) and other assigned materials should be sufficient. If you choose to engage in further research, feel free to do so – but make sure that you use academically sound sources – absolutely no wiki sites, blogs, etc!!!
Helpful Hints
Answer the questions that are asked. No credit is earned for including what you know about a topic that is tangent to or unrelated to the questions.
Do not use a lot of quotes. Quotes show me you can copy a statement, but it doesn’t reflect that you really understand what is being said. Instead, explain your understanding of the information and communicate how it applies to the question at hand. (Remember that citations are required for paraphrased material as well.)
You have limited space, so make it count. Make your points quickly, offer strong support for your positions and make sure to make the connection between your points and the course material.
Format Requirements
o Save paper as a .doc or .docx (Word) file
o Do not include a cover page or an abstract.
