In your arguments, include the following:Describe your reasoning for identifying them as worthy of pursuing.Categorize each marketing opportunity as low-hanging fruit, home runs, or singles, and discuss why (see definitions in course materials).Discuss the risk in pursuing each opportunity.Without actually trying to determine each project’s ROE, which would you most strongly recommend implementing, and why?Explain how the marketing opportunity would reflect upon the firm. Would it have a positive or negative public relations effect on the firm? Would it result in great financial improvements, or only a minor improvement?  Please submit your assignment.For assistance with your assignment, please use your text, Web resources, and all course materials.Unit Materials(More)Reading Assignment: Primary reading:McKnight, T.K.
