Consumer Behavior Analysis Paper
This first assignment is designed to have you consider a consumer behavior strategy for a specific new product or service. You may do this for your current organization, a company with which you are familiar, or for a product or service that interests you. You may have considerable knowledge of the offering or you may be looking in as an outsider. Either way, choose a product or service about which you can find information, either inside the organization, or through observation or research on the web or in the library. Part of the fun of this is to take an educated guess about the strategy behind how a consumer makes their buying decisions.
