The job market which most of you will
face soon is often referred to as “white collar.” This market has a number of
expectations about your behavior in the work setting. The university setting provides one
opportunity to refine your work habits and behaviors, as well as acquire new
skills you can use on the job. In this setting,
both the “supervisor” and the “workers” will be attendance and be on time,
assignments will be turned in on time, and basic rules of courtesy will be
followed. Everyone must be treated with
dignity and respect in order for scholarship to thrive. Behaviors that are disruptive to learning, or
create a hostile, offensive or intimidating environment will not be
tolerated. Academic dishonesty in any
form will not be tolerated. A course grade of F will be assigned and
disciplinary action will be pursued.
On a different subject – it may not always
be obvious; but the “supervisor” is here to help you achieve your
goals!
To achieve class objectives, a blend
of lecture, class discussion, outside readings, and video clips will be used.
Materials presented in class will build on ideas contained in the
readings. Class discussions will be a
part of every lecture, therefore students are expected to read and study
assigned material before class. Students
will be asked to express their views during every class discussion.

An important note: The above scores
apply to all students and points can only be obtained from exams, quizzes, and
your synopsis and presentation. There
are no other opportunities for “extra credit” or other projects that can
increase your point score. For this
reason, if a student wants an “A” or “B,” he/she can not afford to let more
than one quiz slip.
* Total point scores will be used to
determine the student’s course grade.
Examinations and Quizzes
The exams will emphasize the material
covered in the lectures; however, assigned material from the textbook, Kawasaki Book, and Wall Street Journal will
be included in the exams, even if it were not discussed in class. The
examination format will draw from the following types of questions:
1. Multiple choice questions and
true/false questions designed to test knowledge of marketing terms and
concepts.
2. Short-answer questions designed to
assess students' knowledge and depth of understanding of material developed in
the course.
To score well in the exam, it is
imperative that you know the definitions, but then you must be able to apply
the concepts as well.
During the term, there will be two
quizzes. There will be ten questions on each of the quizzes.
Quiz1: Chs. 1,2,18, 5; Quiz2: Chs.
9,10,11,12,13
Make-up exams or quizzes will not be given. Missed exam or quiz will be scored as
zero. Always try to inform me in advance
if you have a verifiable reason to miss the exam or quiz.
Book
The book will help you relate what you learn in this class to real-world business.
It will be done on a
group basis (2 students for each team). Each group will be assigned to a
chapter of the book. Each group will
read and either (a) write
one-page synopsis (prepare 50 copies) or
(b) present what you learned to class with PowerPoint slides.
