Using the library resources discussed, select a product/service that you would like to write a marketing plan for. You will need to use either Mergent Online or Business Source Elite/Complete Company Profile as part of your analysis, so make sure the company is covered there before you consider it as an option. Submit a paragraph describing the selected product and including specific appropriate details on a possible new idea for that product. Include the name of the industry that the product competes in, along with the SIC or NAICS code appropriate to that product. List either Mergent or Business Source Elite/Complete as your source. As you choose your organization/product, keep in mind that your analysis in this project must lead to new objectives and strategies for the organization or product, not a report of what the company is already doing. Your analysis will also include a discussion of the implementation of your new ideas in detail.
