The MRKT 690 Week 1 method, step by step
Find the course question the faith element answers
An Integration of Faith and Learning essay connects a topic from Marketing Strategy Capstone to a biblical worldview. Start with the course concept, not the verse: what question does this week's material raise that Scripture speaks to?
Choose passages that fit the concept
Pick Scripture that speaks to the concept directly. Read the surrounding chapter so the passage is used for what it means, not for a phrase that sounds right.
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.
Use scholarly sources too
Support the course side with scholarly sources (At least 2 verses from the Bible) and, where useful, a Christian scholar who has written on the topic.
Address a tension honestly
Name one tension between common practice and a biblical principle, and resolve it with a concrete course of action.
Format and length
Keep to At least 500 words, in current APA, with Scripture cited in the format your course uses.
Describe the situation, present each verse with its precept and promise, then state how a CMO would act on it.
A structure for MRKT 690 Week 1 Integration of Faith and Learning
Word targets are planning numbers for about 1,000 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Competitive situation | A specific strategy challenge. | ~300 words |
| Verses and promises | At least 2, with their outcomes. | ~400 words |
| CMO behavior | Ethical conduct proposed. | ~300 words |
A topic angle that works
Choose verses that pair a precept with a promised outcome, such as Proverbs 3:5 to 6 (trust and direction), Proverbs 16:3 (committing work and plans being established) or Proverbs 11:3 (integrity guiding the upright), and apply them to a competitive situation such as responding to a rival's price cut or making comparative claims.
Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
When a rival launches misleading comparative ads, a CMO may be tempted to answer in kind. Proverbs 11:3 promises that the integrity of the upright will guide them, while the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them. A CMO following this precept would respond with truthful comparisons backed by evidence, trusting that credibility built over time outlasts a short-term gain from deception.
