MKT 505 Assignment 2 Developing a Marketing Strategy

This assignment consists of two (2) sections: Expected Commercial Value Forcast and Marketing Strategy Research Paper. You must submit both sections as separate files for the completion of this assignment.

Imagine that you are a marketing manager in charge of developing a marketing campaign for Lenovo Computers (www.lenovo.com).
