Assessment Information/Brief 2020-21

Assessment task details and instructions

Address the following task:

Appraise how effectively one organisation of your choice deploys the principles and practices of marketing management in response to a turbulent marketing environment.

  Your work should include consideration of the following :

  1. The marketing environment, and the current level of turbulence it is presenting (30 marks)
  2. The marketing mix (40 marks)
  3. Segmentation, targeting and positioning (10 marks)
  4. Recommendations for how the company can improve its use of marketing management in response to the turbulent marketing environment  (20 marks)

Please note if the organisation you choose is a multinational business you are advised to focus on any ONE country of the your choice. In addition, if the organisation has a wide product portfolio you should consider focusing on a clearly defined aspect. If you wish to narrow your analysis to a particular country, or aspect of product portfolio you need to make this clear in the introduction to your assessment. 

You should draw upon relevant academic as well as practitioner sources to support your points 

You are expected to undertake your own desk research to update your understanding of the current corporate context of the company.

Your work should be in a creative, critical and evaluative manner. Ensure that your arguments are clear and logical and where appropriate include academic sources, i.e. academic journal papers, which add weight to your points raised. Please show in your list of references an appropriate breadth and depth of references relevant to the topic.

Your work must be correctly referenced throughout in the Harvard format. 

Your assignment should be word processed and produced in an appropriate academic style. The font should be 12. The work should be completed on an individual basis.

We have set up a draft submission area so that you can check whether your work is adequately referenced. You are strongly advised to make use of this system. You can submit a draft as many times as you wish but you can only submit one final version. Therefore please ensure you submit the correct file when uploading your final submission. 

WARNING – ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT

The University’s policy on Good Academic Conduct applies. Plagiarism, collusion and other forms of misconduct identified by the Policy are serious offences leading to potentially very severe disciplinary consequences.  Cases of academic misconduct WILL be reported.

In a nutshell plagiarism means passing off somebody else’s efforts as your own work.

The following are NOT permitted:

  • Copying somebody else’s work in whole or in part 
  • Getting somebody else to help you with the specific content of your assignment (only general discussion with somebody else about the topics covered in the assignment is permitted – not discussion about the specific assignment contents) 
  • Getting somebody else to correct your work 
  • Copying (or cutting and pasting) text or web site content into your assignment without attribution of the source with full academic referencing 
  • Quoting more than 100 words of text verbatim even with attribution to the source 

Any student who assists another student to plagiarise or collude (by allowing their work to be copied or by specific assistance/checking another student’s work) or participates in any other form of misconduct is ALSO guilty of misconduct and will be penalised along with the student who has been assisted.
