- Use relevant global marketing and ethical theories, frameworks and concepts from the module to analyse the sector within which the organisation you researched, and the marketing challenges and opportunities it faces both now and in the future.
- Develop a consultancy report as if for presentation to the Board of your chosen organisation. The report needs to cover, amongst other things:
- Introduction to the organisation, including for example, the sector and countries within which it operates. Identification of the organisation’s core capabilities/strengths.
- Analysis of the global environment of the business using selected theories from this and previous modules (e.g. market audit).
- Identification of key threats and opportunities within that environment.
- Analysis of the organisation’s current marketing activity and ethical stance, using theories and concepts from the module. This should include details of its marketing approach and an analysis of whether this could be improved to capitalise on the threats and opportunities you have identified.
- This should include your assessment as to what extent the company is capitalising on the available market opportunities, your argument as to whether its marketing strategy is global/local or otherwise, and your judgement on how it is performing in terms of ethical considerations.
