Discussion #1

Marketing

Here is the recommended approach to take for each article:

  1. Read the introduction and conclusion.
  2. Read and charts or figures and see if there are references listed.
  3. Scan the article for major headings.
  4. Identify the three or four major or main points for each article.
  5. Identify any sources of evidence or support.
  6. You do not need to break the scholarly articles down in detail, particularly the Journal of Marketing article.

Discussion

  2. 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?
