WHY WE BUY ANALYSIS PROJECT (100 points)
Read Paco Underhill’s book, “Why We Buy” by 10/21/20. Do not attempt to do this project without first reading the book. (It is suggested that students take notes while reading the book).
After signing up for a retailer to analyze (details and sign-up will be provided on 10/21/21) (Links to an external site.), go to and analyze your assigned “brick & mortar” store. If analyzing a larger store (department store, discount store, big box category killer store) with many areas, if desired, you may narrow the area of analysis to a single department or category. Student must analyze the retailer they signed up for in order to receive full credit for this project.
Write a paper that is no less than 4 pages and no more than 5 pages (not including works cited page or pictures).Identifying 5 key important points/situations about the store environment according to Underhill (must list as 1,2,3, along with a heading)
Various situations to look for:
situations that follow Underhills recommendations (describe the Underhill recommendation and how the store follows it and why it works)
situations that don’t follow Underhills recommendations, but should (describe the situation and what the store should do instead according to Underhills recommendations)
or situations where the store doesn’t follow Underhills recommendations, but it seems to work anyway (describe how the store doesn’t follow Underhills recommendations and discuss why it seems to work anyway)
Any combination of the above three situations can be used (or all 5 of one type of situation). (10 points each = 50 points)
Utilize a professional/business style of writing
Papers must be free of spelling and grammatical
Write in the third person (do not use I. Do not write in first person, verbiage should be based upon observations and related to Underhills research, not as in my opinion).
Students should take the approach as if they were an outside consultant or analyst and a professional business approach should be use. I think, and stuff like that verbiage should not be
Observations should be stated as fact. Descriptions of how the retailer is doing things right must be based upon what was read an applied from Underhills book. Suggestions for improvement must be based upon what was suggested in Underhills
Papers must be double spaced using Arial or Times New Roman font of 12. Papers must have headings for each situation being discussed (see #3 above). The presentation of the information is as important as the information itself. It is not enough for students to simply offer information but care little for the writing presentation of that information. Sloppy or unprofessional writing is a direct reflection on the student. A paper that impresses with both the information expected and good writing gives a much more positive impression of students efforts, seriousness about learning, and ability to demonstrate their
Pictures of the situations at the retailer should be included where possible (some retailers will prohibit, so finding images online may be an alternative). If pictures are submitted, they must be incorporated into the 5-page paper (not separately), however, when/if the pictures would be removed, the minimum of 4 pages must still be accomplished.
Files must be submitted as MSWord documents or a PDF and should be saved as (replacing italics with your name and retailer): Studentfirstname_lastname_WWBPaper_for Name of Retailer_F20 (20points)
A brief introduction to the paper should include what store is being analyzed, the type of store (what format; refer to your Ch. 2 notes to determine) the number of stores in the company and the location of the headquarters/buying offices. A detailed conclusion at the end of the paper should connect what has been learned in this course and about how the retailers competitive advantages and strategies are impacting the in-store (20 points)
You began your research project by reading an article from the news about a current issue or event in society. Your goal in this essay is to explain to your professor how the research and writing you have done for your research project changed your understanding of that issue or event. You will explain what changes occurred in your understanding and how those changes occurred.
Here are some questions you can consider in developing ideas for your essay:
What changes occurred in your understanding?
Do you know more about the issue/event now than you did before? (Probably!)
Do you look at the issue/event from a different perspective following your research?
Have you reconsidered opinions or assumptions that you held at the beginning of the semester?
How did those changes occur?
Which sources from your research had the greatest effect on your understanding?
Did the process of writing about your topic affect the way you thought about it?
What role did interaction with your classmates and/or professor play in your understanding of your topic?
The essays conclusion should answer the question So what? by placing the essays explanations into a larger context. To accomplish this, you can consider addressing one or more of these questions:
Will your current understanding of your event/issue affect your future actions or decisions? If so, how?
What lessonsabout interpreting current events, about your field of study, about the research processcan be drawn from the experience of completing the research project?
Is research of the sort done in WRTG 112 a worthwhile activity? Why or why not?

Biblical Perspective: Luke 1-2, 2 Corinthians 4
As we open the New Testament, we see in Luke that the promised offspring has finally arrived. Jesus is the blood sacrifice to cover the spiritual nakedness of his people; he is the eternal priest, prophet, and king. Jesus is the God-man who fulfills the law, the sacrificial system, and restores excellent relationships. In short, he makes right all that went wrong in the Garden. Yet, we see again a pattern of current provision mixed with future promise. Jesus kingdom is both one that has come, and is yet to fully come. There is a tension of the fulfilled now promises and those kingdom promises not yet fulfilled. There are many blessings Jesus kingdom brings now, but there are many that are not yet fulfilled. In fact, as a result of this now but not yet tension, God calls his people to the mission of proclaiming His covenant love to the world Seeking to live in the power of Jesus fulfilled promises, pointing people to the future fulfillment of those promises.
