Class Guide for Dr. Gias's Spring 2017 Marketing Research class

Welcome to Library Day in MKTG 485!


Today we'll cover several different concepts you'll use to write a literature review for your group projects. You may have questions that come up over the course of this semester. Don't hesitate to contact me! I'm available through email, phone, and during my regular work hours. If your group wants to meet with me to talk through issues you have with research, let me know!
