Include the following: Using an article from the library’s full-text databases, discuss an example of how a marketing plan helped make a product or service successful.

Consider the following: Using an Internet search, find a movie that failed. Provide a quick overview of why the movie was considered a failure. Applying what you have learned about the concept of market plans, extrapolate what could have gone wrong in the studio’s plan with regard to forecasting demand for the project.
