The centerpiece of the marketing environment analysis framework is

Overview:

 Use this template as a guide while creating your Network Design Proposal (Parts 1-3).

 Include at least five scholarly references in each of the three submissions. Thus a total of fifteen scholarly references will be included. Students may find scholarly sources by visiting UMUC’s library and online sources. Students will also include other credible sources as appropriate.

 Use IEEE-style citations. We do not use APA or MLA-style citations. Students should contact UMUC’s Effective Writing Center for assistance.

 Use proper terminology and expand acronyms in each paragraph they are used. For example, the first time in a paragraph an acronym is used it should be expanded (e.g., University of Maryland University College (UMUC). Thereafter, and as long as you are in the same paragraph, the acronym (e.g., UMUC) can be used. When starting a new paragraph, the rule begins anew.

 The use of figures and diagrams is encouraged. Students will properly cite the figures and diagrams according to the IEEE-style citation
