Discussion #1
Marketing
Here is the recommended approach to take for each article:
- Read the introduction and conclusion.
- Read and charts or figures and see if there are references listed.
- Scan the article for major headings.
- Identify the three or four major or main points for each article.
- Identify any sources of evidence or support.
- You do not need to break the scholarly articles down in detail, particularly the Journal of Marketing article.
Discussion
- Define the three or four main points from each of the three articles you read for this unit’s studies. You can also find them linked in the Resources.
- Address the following:
- How well are these articles aligned?
- Do the main points of one article support the main points of the others? Are there inconsistencies between the main points of the articles?
- What is the quality of evidence or support? For example, are professional opinions incorporated? If numbers are provided, what are the sources?

- Introduction: Tell the reader the purpose of the post and what will be covered.
- Theory: Article Comparisons: Identify and describe the main points of the three articles. What is the quality of evidence or support?
