The Course Project: A Professional Application

A list of the 100 Best Global Brands each year is released each year. Click here for the 2014 list. https://interbrand.com/best-brands/best-global-brands/2015/

Sort the list by "Country of Origin." Select a brand with the United States as the country of origin. This brand will become the competition for a fictional brand you create in a later unit, which will be used throughout this course.

If your brand represents a large number of products or services, it will be necessary to select one major business or product line for the assignment. If you have questions regarding the choices, please contact your instructor by Friday of this week so that you will have enough time to complete the week's project.
