Student feedback for 4/21 and 4/28:

All the presentations were awesome. I was very impressed with each business plan. They were all creative and impressive.

A well conducted class. Many of the different ideas presented were as valuable to me as those presentations given by our visiting industry professionals.

In the business briefs, I want your analysis of the ways that companies use the Internet and how this changes the business and marketing.   Think about the economic impact of the Internet on costs and income.  Compare and contrast companies using summary tables and charts.  Look for patterns.  Identify what's working, what's not working, missed opportunities, and what you think management should do.
