...use with a major media outlet. Each week in class, we will discuss news stories being reported by major news outlets on topics that interest us. At the same time we will explore the professional strategies, tools, and tactics necessary to create and manage a successful publicity campaign. In addition, we will consider the major media outlets that can reach our target audiences -- and also practice “pitching” stories to top reporters. We will also add to our media reach by exploring appropriate “new” media. What’s in the Press Kit? News Announcement; Feature Announcement; Executive Biography; Corporate Background; Fact Sheet; Media Alert; Media “Pitch” Letter.

...within their surroundings of their upbringings, education and media. Societal factors play a huge role in Canadian youth’s lives and are the reason why there is an absence of Canadian Youth’s involvement in the electoral system. One explanation to understand how interest plays a part in the decline of youth voting can root from the influences youth lack when it comes to politics. One large factor can be focused towards the household and parents surrounding these young adults. If most parents do not find it necessary to speak about politics at home with their children, then this can influence them into viewing politics as less important in their lives. Parents are the first people youth commonly look up to and their many views can be...

...Page via Canvas ------------------------------------------------- Teaching Assistants Grant Garlinghouse (grant.garlinghouse@mba14.mccombs.utexas.edu) Course Objectives I have taught this course since late in the last century. Today, as we approach a second global recession, helping people learn how to grow firms as astutely as possible will play a role in speeding the beginning of a new recovery. When companies like Cisco and HP abandon major market segments, it is even more important to think critically about how to grow a firm’s products. Given the chaotic period that we are entering, I have made several significant changes to this course. First, I have done away with the individual midterm. The “next” recovery will be a group effort. So will your midterm. Second, I have assigned three books. These are some of the best books out there on how to think about innovation, competition and how to grow a business. They will become “let me read that again” go-to books that you will use long after you graduate from UT. To compensate for the heavy reading load, I have eliminated most of the background notes from the course. Third, we are going to take a critical look at what is going on around the world. I believe that more than ever before, global events will have a profound impact on our ability to grow or maintain healthy businesses. I fear that this new global recession will be deeper and more destructive than the one that hit us in 2007-2009, and that...

Office CBA 5.228 Office Hours MW 4:00-5:00 pm or by appointment Qian Tang - qian.tang@phd.mccombs.utexas.edu Teaching Assistant CBA 1.308B Office TBD Office Hours Course Description Information technology (IT) has transformed all aspects of 21st century business and everyday life. New IT investments continue to be staggering. Worldwide, over $2.5 trillion is invested in IT. In the U.S., over 50% of capital expenditures are related to IT. Information systems influence business processes, organizational structures, and the ways people do business, work, and communicate. Emerging technologies have triggered new forms of organization and business process innovation; they have also impacted organizational structure, culture, politics, decision making, and society as a whole. IT is transforming how physical products are designed, how services are bundled with products, and how individuals interact with businesses and with other individuals. A silent transformation is occurring as more and more physical products use embedded IT to improve customer experience and product performance. The pervasiveness of IT is expanding global trade and changing how and where work is performed. It is vital that future managers—in every area of business—have a...

We buy groceries, computers, and cars. We purchase services ranging from bank accounts to college educations. However, we also know that consumers are different from one another. We buy different clothes, drive different cars, and eat different foods. Moreover, even the same consumer can make different decisions depending on the situation. So how are we to construct coherent marketing strategies? In this class we will learn how and why consumers behave the way that they do. We will explore our intuitions about our own behavior. We will learn about theories developed in marketing, psychology and other behavioral sciences. And we will learn to use these theories to predict how consumers will respond to different marketing activities. Learning Objectives * To acquire a framework for analyzing consumer behavior problems * To learn how consumer behavior can be affected by different marketing strategies * To show how behavioral evidence can be used to evaluate alternative marketing strategies * To...

We will then go on to discuss a (lively) overview of contemporary Western Europe by longtime reporter and commentator T. R. Reid. Next, we will explore political institutions, processes, behavior and policy in three major Western European countries, the United Kingdom, France and Germany. Four times, spaced throughout the semester, I will offer brief factual comparisons of Western Europe and the United States in important areas, including public policy, the economy, education, social policy, and moral issues. If time permits, the course will conclude with a brief examination of the institutions and policies of the European Union, a regional organization linking twenty-eight European countries. In an effort to enliven our discussion, at the beginning of most classes I will introduce an unusual fact, song or comedy sketch that in some way deals with Western Europe, with a particular focus on the smaller European countries.
