Students will do a webquest to help find out the Products and Place(Distribution) of a shopping complex.

Introduction

You shop the stores of the Prince Kuhio Plaza on a regular basis.  Have you ever stopped to wonder why businesses sell what they do?  You may also wonder why each store is different in terms of the products they sell and how their product gets to you. Businesses don't just open up and hope to be successful in the business world.  They can control factors that can make the business a success or failure.  These controllable factors are called the 4 P's of the Marketing Mix (Product, Price, Place, Promotion).

In this assignment, you the learner will be discovering and learning about the different Products and Places that are related to the business world.  Product is a controllable factor centered on what a business provides.  Products can be a good, service, idea, or a combination of the three. Place is also a controllable factor centered on how a business decides to get their product from the producer, to the retailer, and finally to the consumer.
