Throughout the course, you will be assigned “Creative Assignments” that will allow you to present information in formats other than formal academic writing.
For this assignment, select at least 4 companies and place them on a continuum from pure competition to pure monopoly using an infographic. For each company, explain why you placed it where you did. Provide supporting evidence as if your audience has never heard of the company. Be sure to provide a source for any statements of fact that you make.
Be creative! Try to convey the main idea for each firm within the infographic. You can use single words, pictures, symbols, or anything you think of to convey the main idea. You can then supplement this with footnotes or notes at the bottom of the page to identify your sources.
A Word document with a blank continuum is provided as an example. (attached) Identify any sources that you might use – this can be done as a footnote on the infographic itself. Strict APA format is not required as long you provide enough information so that your source(s) can be found. Additional suggestions: You may find a company that falls “between” two types of market structure, having some characteristics of each. If that is the case, you can place it between the two market types, closest to the one that best represents the company. If you have more than one company with the same market structure, you can stack them above each other above the continuum.
Access the article that describes what an infographic is (https://venngage.com/blog/what-is-an-infographic/) to get an idea what you will be creating. The infographic should include pictures, clip art, photos, words, numbers, or anything you can think of to convey your idea. You may use any tool you would like to create your infographic. Softwares include but not limited to:
Microsoft Word
Photoshop
a single PowerPoint slide
Venngage
Piktochart
Canva
Easelly
Depending on the software you choose: save, export or take a screenshot of your completed infographic for submission. Important: Be sure to identify any sources that you might use – this can be done as a footnote on the infographic itself OR listed separately in the text box of the submission link. Strict APA format is not required as long you provide enough information so that your source(s) can be found.
