Purpose of Assignment

The purpose of this assignment is for you todevelop a deeper understanding of and practical experience in determining marketing’s contribution to corporate strategy as a result of conducting a Strategic Situation Analysis and determining appropriate outcomes required.

Required

The paper(approx. 2000words) must be typewritten (one and a half spacing, two centimeter margins). 12pt Arial font
 A minimum of 6 references from academic refereed journals must form part of your literature review.
Correct APA style citation and referencing must be used.
 

Instructions:                                                                                  

1             In your group, select a New Zealand company with a web site which will enable you to form a picture of its Market Offerings, Potential Customers,  Competition (Direct and Indirect), and any other variables which are or could be strongly significant (e.g. environmental factors, consumer health or danger to health, societal aspects etc.)
 
2             Brainstorm and complete a list of controllable variables which you consider to be significant in relation to a situation analysis, and group them into categories for investigation, using the PESTLE plus Industry and Competition model we discussed in class. Justify each of your choices and compare what you have done with papers in Journals – what is the same and what is different, and why?
 
3             Conduct the analysis, making notes of the significance of each element investigated. Make a summary of the top issues in each element. Again compare what you have done with the Literature, noting and commenting on differences.
 
4             Formulate objectives (outcome statements) to incorporate in the corporate strategy. You should quantify and qualify (set standards and conditions) your outcome statements to act as a guide for a control; system. Justify you choices by reference to the analysis.
 
5             Suggest a set of controls, highlighting types of measurement and timing of measurement which will ensure that management and staff are constantly aware of where they stand in relation to achieving the objectives, and are able to identify the need for and take corrective action if required.
 
6             You will be given a final task to be completed individually posted to Moodle on Tuesday 5 April (Easter Tuesday).
