Scenario 1:

You (an entrepreneur), have come up with an innovative new product you wish to market. The product can be a consumer or organizational good or service (therefore, either a B2C or B2B product).

You will be required to document the development process of your new product, and develop a marketing plan for it to become commercially available.

Scenario 2:

You are a brand/product manager, hired to develop a new product line or brand extension for the company’s top-performing product (Note: student chooses the company and brand/product). Based on the company’s mission and goals, status in the market, current target market, and brand power, develops a marketing plan for the new product/brand extension.
