The BUSI 520 Week 6 method, step by step

  1. Find the course question the faith element answers

    An Integration of Faith and Learning essay connects a topic from Strategic Marketing Management to a biblical worldview. Start with the course concept, not the verse: what question does this week's material raise that Scripture speaks to?

  2. Choose passages that fit the concept

    Select one or two passages that genuinely address the concept, read them in context, and note what they say about the issue before you write.

  3. Integrate, do not attach

    Integration means the faith perspective changes or deepens the analysis. Explain how the principle would shape a decision, policy or practice in the course's field.

  4. Use scholarly sources too

    Meet the source rule (The assigned Scripture verse and course material). Scholarly sources show the course concept is understood; Scripture shows how it is judged.

  5. Address a tension honestly

    Name one tension between common practice and a biblical principle, and resolve it with a concrete course of action.

  6. Format and length

    Check length (At least 500 words) and APA, including how Scripture is cited in text and in the references.

As in IFL I, explain the verse in context briefly, then give concrete applications tied to textbook concepts.

BUSI 520 Week 6, sample application paragraph

If the assigned verse concerns fair treatment, pricing is a natural application. Kotler and Keller describe price discrimination and dynamic pricing; a firm can use them fairly, such as student discounts, or exploitatively, such as raising prices on essential goods during emergencies. The verse asks marketers to consider whether a pricing practice respects the customer as a neighbor.

  1. A topic.
  2. Fair versus exploitative.
  3. The question it raises.
