Product Positioning for the Product Manager: A Capstone Experience for an Introduction
to Marketing Class
The objective of this activity is to encourage beginning students to think about product
positioning, its components, and its strategic implications. Pedagogically, we believe that the
Initially, students are directed to choose a product category that they find interesting. There are
two constraints: (1) the product must be sold in traditional (non-cyber) retail settings, and (2) the
Which products do students pick, and why? The key thing is that if they find a category relevant
The initial assignment requires the student to choose a retail setting and to record his or her
observations regarding the product category. We provide a handout with basic threshold

The final capstone paper requires the student to construct at least two perceptual maps. The end
For many students, developing perceptual maps is very challenging. Students often struggle
because it requires inferring, based solely on observation (not research), what consumers believe

The Search for the Perfect Package
In most Principles of Marketing courses, the subject of consumer product packaging is
discussed, at least in passing, as part of the product umbrella in the marketing mix. Some
Separating the class into teams of two to four students, giving each a banana, and then tasking
them with coming up with as many reasons as they can to support your contention generates a
healthy competition and can lead to some interesting rationales. Some of the many reasons they
may come up with are given below.
Protects the product from damage
Attracts attention because of bright color

From these reasons, the instructor can then generalize, perhaps by bringing into the discussion
the VIEW model (visibility, information, emotional appeal, workability), which outlines the rules
for package evaluation. The ultimate goal is to change the way students look at the world outside
of the classroom and acknowledge the role that other disciplines and perspectives can play in
problem-solving.

Discussion Board Topics to Encourage Participation
Discussion board questions provided to students to encourage them to engage in thinking and
writing about the content of the Principles of Marketing course usually take the form of a
provocative statement to which students are asked to respond. An example of this would be “All
PR is good PR.”
Discussion topics such as this one are abstract and often require that the instructor provide an
initial reply to show students what is expected in their own replies. For students with limited
work experience, this approach may be quite appropriate. For adult students with extensive
experience as employees and consumers, however, the abstract nature of such topics can be
frustrating.
I have developed, therefore, a series of discussion board questions to use with experienced, adult
students. These questions are designed to encourage them to use their experiences as employees
and consumers as doorways to better understand the course material, and to make their own
responses more interesting to themselves and to the other students in the class who will read and
comment on them.
Each question has three parts.
1. First, there is a sentence or two from the students’ textbook introducing the topic. By using
the text authors own words, students are enabled to locate relevant material in the text
more easily, the text content is reinforced, and confusion resulting from use of variant
terms or expressions is minimized.
2. Second, there is a reference to text pages the students should review before proceeding.
Since the goal of the exercise is for students to apply the course content to their own
experiences, reviewing the content first is important.
3. Third, there is a request for the students to think about or remember some specific situation
in their experiences to which they can apply the text material, and a question or questions
for them to address in their replies.

Here are additional such discussion board questions developed for Chapter 10 of MKTG11. Each
is written to fit the same text cited above but could easily be rewritten and revised to fit another
text.
Series A
1. A consumer product is bought to satisfy an individual’s personal wants. Although there are
several ways to classify them, the most popular approach includes these four types:
convenience products, shopping products, specialty products, and unsought products.
2. Review the descriptions of these types in section 10-2 in your text.
3. Then describe products you have purchased recently that represent each type. What made
them that type for you?
Series B
1. A group of closely related product items is a product line.
2. Review the material on product items, lines, and mixes in section 10-3 of your text.
3. Then describe the product mix sold by your employer and what product lines it includes.
Are the product lines shallow or deep? Is the product mix narrow or wide? Explain your
answers.

Packaging Egg-Citement
This topic concerns a packaging challenge that requires the student to use three main objectives
of packing successfully.
1. Each student must creatively package a raw egg using cost-effective materials. (Special
consideration is given to recycling materials easily and cheaply found.)
The product is a raw egg with the likeness of Elvis Presley on it. This is a limited number
production item that Elvis fans worldwide will be interested in having in their collections. The

Students collect their own package after “the toss” and open it in front of the class while verbally
Note: This can be a messy class. Most concepts survive the toss, and the students enjoy the fun
and sharing of their wacky ideas. A few will wonder, “Why Elvis?” There is a lot of fun

Implementing Product Positions: A Perceptual Picnic
This demonstration is designed to illustrate the marketing mix strategies used in product
For this demonstration, the following beverages should be brought to class.
1. Orange-flavored soda (any popular brand)

If possible, all beverages should be in bottles of roughly the same size, and these bottles should
be in a box that conceals them from the view of students. In addition, bring a container of ice and
