Ch 5-Free Enterprise System

Chapter 5 goes over the Free Enterprise System and our economy.  This chapter is a short unit/chapter, because we only go over 1 section of chapter 5.  This unit essentially summarizes our economy as a nation, and the activity you go through (Playing Monopoly, but by Paige's rules)  will demonstrate the various types of economies:  Capitalism, Socialism, and Communism.  This will allow you to see first hand the amount of government involvement and influence that they have on societies.

First Unit...Check.

Well, we finished our first unit of Marketing, covering chapters 1 & 2.  We tested on ExamView, and you'll be getting your notebooks back.  Chapter 2.2 covered Market Segmentation, and why it's so important to have a target market.  We'll begin our next unit, which will cover chapter 5, the Free Enterprise System.
