Learning from Student Group and Individual Executions of the 10 Step Marketing Plan

In recent years, I have skipped the use of group marketing plans in favor of individual plans since I knew how many typical groups work- the work is subdivided, 3 or more meetings are wasted deciding on what to do and waiting for other members to do some work, and then just before the deadline- 1 or 2 of the 5 group members suddenly decide to take charge and finish the work.

I can't let myself be robbed of 10% of the softdrink contents in exchange for relatively worthless ice. Why not?

To compete, you must first be digitally present.So, create your individual accounts in google mail (gmail), blogger.com, slideshare.net, linkedin.com and facebook.com. These accounts will be used for our class discussions and for submitting and grading student assignments.When possible, create a username with the following format: usernamenickname.... For example, if you are juan de la cruz, then your gmail account should ideally be juandelacruz@gmail.com. don't use emails like awesome12@gmail.com. or princess@gmail.com.
