Market Audit and Strategic Analysis
Students are to undertake a market audit and strategic analysis on an organisation/brand approved by the lecturer. The detailed audit and TOWS should be included in the appendix section while in the main body of the report, students are to write an appraisal based on the findings of the audit.
Your appraisal should be approximately 500 words and should be based on a summary of your audit, highlighting what you consider to be the most important issues (internal and external), leading to an identification of the strategic priority to be addressed in your feasibility section.
Feasability Study
The second part is a feasibility study which is built upon the findings of your market audit. This requires you to continue with your review of your chosen organisation/brand and in conjunction with the market audit and strategic analysis assess the feasibility of proposed recommendations.
This will require you to have completed a market analysis and identified proposed marketing decisions. You are required to present this as a feasibility report that identifies whether the proposed decisions are desirable. The feasibility should consider both the positive and negative aspects of potential business scenarios that will assist you in selecting a marketing strategy. You are NOT required to write a marketing plan.
Assume that you are employed by your chosen organisation/brand and that you have been asked by the marketing team to write a feasibility study to support their development of a marketing strategy and plan. For the purposes of this task you should identify the proposed decisions that will shape your feasibility study.
Your feasibility report should include:-The identification of proposed decisions and the feasibility of these decisions from market, customer and economic perspectives.
Identification of the desirability of the proposed decisions and key recommendations to the marketing strategy team.
Upon completion of the assessment students will have demonstrated their ability to:-Evaluate a market of the student’s choice utilising suitable academic market audit models and approaches.
Critically present and compare the pro’s and con’s of alternative market strategies and plans for the selected market.
Support the feasibility study with market data and academic theories.
Communicate to a professional standard and reference correctly using the UWE Harvard Referencing system.
It is expected that work on the module assessment will be completed by the students outside scheduled class time.
