1. The major project for this course is creating a marketing plan. Provide company name, a description and URL, if available. You need to either select a small company or small non-profit that is already in business; however, if you work for a large company and would like to focus on that then concentrate on one small part; for example: your department. This project will become part of your portfolio created in the MBA Capstone course so create it for something that can be shared (with whom you choose to share it with). For example: if you create a plan for your department and are sharing confidential information you won’t want to use it later in the Capstone class.

3. Using the principles of classical conditioning or operant conditioning, design two specific marketing objectives for a specific nonprofit (provide a description and the URL if one is available).
4. What should ads say to help brands make the first (non-compensatory) cut in decision making to be included in a consumer’s consideration set? What should ads say to help a brand be chosen, once in the set?
