Find an appropriate article on the Internet which relates to this week's topic - Environmental Forces in Marketing (competitive, legal and regulatory, technological, economic, political and sociocultural). Find an article which discusses one or more companies, groups or organizations which face a challenge by one or more of the environmental forces.
The article can be from any professional online business/marketing source. Do not use Wikipedia or other source which is edited by the public - these sources are not appropriate for serious graduate-level work. The article does not have to be from an academic Journal, but it does have to come from a business publication such as Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek, Money magazine, Advertising Age or any other respected publication. The Webster Library can help you if you need sources - go to that link on the course homepage.
Read the article and then write a one-page summary of the article, written in Microsoft Word using 12-point font, single spacing. Follow this format:

Approximately 50% of the paper content should be article summary

It is not necessary to include the text of the article.
