Watch the PBS-NOVA Documentary “Secrets of the Viking Sword”. I believe it is also available to watch on Youtube.

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/ancient/secrets-viking-sword.html (you can watch the documentary and find Transcript in this website, use the documentary as references)

What are all the Marketing related terms and concepts that you were able to glean from the documentary? They would not be spelled in as many words, but I expect you to interpret them given the context.

Here is an abbreviated example: Build a superior product (the first P) and customers will beat a path to your door (better mousetrap). The Product/production era. The Ulfberht was “cutting edge” technology.

There are many such marketing concepts that you can talk about. Please make references to the documentary when you write about them. ALso, make connections to International marketing as the VIkings used these swords for trade or attack with/of foreign nations.

I hope to get some really good and illuminating/reflective answers.

Here is an example of how you would write/expand your answer:

The first “P” of marketing is PRODUCT. In the PRODUCT ERA of marketing, all that the manufacturer had to do was produce. As long as the manufacturer was producing a high quality product, it would sell (you can have a Ford car in any color, as long as it was black). Also, customers would have to wait a long time after paying in order to get their order fulfilled. Similarly, the Viking Sword Ulfbehrt, was cutting edge technology and was not manufactured in large numbers. Supply was limited and was probably expensive. Therefore, it was in high demand by the rich and ambitious warriors. In the PRODUCT ERA, a manufacturer had to build a better mousetrap. There were enough mousetraps in the market and customers were picky. They knew which one was the best and would demand the best. The U was the best sword and its performance meant the difference between life and death for the wielder. So warriors wanted the better sword. Just seeing the name on the sword afforded special attention and respect to the warrior who carried it and it also made the opponent weak in the knees even before starting the battle.

You can elaborate on this paragraph and make it more meaningful. I am just giving a general outline. There are several such concepts in the documentary.

An annotated bibliography is a list of resources (for example, the Internet, journals, monographs, reports, or personal communications) that you will use for the course project. For each resource you use (you must use five), you will include a reference (for the book, journal, Internet, et cetera) for the work you are citing, including the author’s name, the date published, the title, the book publisher name and location or journal name, number, and pages. Each citation is followed by a brief (100–150 words) paragraph describing the work and its relevance to your research.
An APA-formatted example of an annotated bibliography would look something like this:
Author, I. I. (date), Title of book, article, Internet source, or report using APA formatting guidelines. Publication information (for example, publisher location, publisher name, journal title, journal number, internet URL).
Here you would write a 100–150-word description of the contents of the book, journal, internet site, et cetera. Be sure to include a summary of the main themes of the work as well as your impression of its relevance to your research topic and question as well as your personal and professional goals.
Step One: To begin, explore the Internet and the Capella Library for academic Web sites and publications about your topic.
Step Two: Select five sources that are relevant to your research category, topic, and question. Write an annotated bibliography for each.
Other Considerations:
Include five APA-formatted annotations; each annotation should be 100–150 words.

Students are to choose and read one of the presented articles and answer the essay questions from below. The articles are empirical in nature and were written for a captivated audience hence, many may find certain parts of the readings difficult to understand (i.e., the results section). Students may want to focus on the Introduction (describes the issue and surveys previous studies), Methods (describes how this particular study was carried out), and Discussion (interpretation of the study and what the results may mean) sessions in order to get a general understanding to of the article. Write an essay (for each article chosen)—in your own words—that addresses the following questions:

1. What is the purpose of the research?

2. What type of research method was used (e.g., description of subjects, how many, how were they selected; what apparatus or materials were used, and procedures).

3. Identify the independent variable(s) & dependent variable(s)

4. What were the main results?
