Where MRKT 690 papers lose points
MRKT 690 work slips when a research report tells a company's story without analyzing why its strategy fit or failed the market, when facts about real companies go unsourced, when valuation reports discount cash flows incorrectly or ignore the budget limit, and when forum threads list frameworks without choosing a strategy.
