You are to imagine that you are the national Marketing Manager for a company that operates a chain of coffee shops.

This is an unusual plan in that you are expected to cite the academic sources of the models or approaches you decide to use when researching and developing your plan.#p#分頁(yè)標(biāo)題#e#
Please note that the required deliverable is a plan with academic references but not an academic essay. To create the plan you will need to do a significant amount of background research and work on each section which may feel like a lot of work for 2500 words in total. You are very unlikely to be able to complete this satisfactorily in the last few days before hand in date. The assignment will require considerable analysis and estimation. You will not be able to simply summarize existing material as this is unlikely to exist in the form you need for the plan. Your strategic marketing plan will contain aspects of the following:
請(qǐng)注意,所需的交付計(jì)劃與學(xué)術(shù)引用,而不是一個(gè)學(xué)術(shù)文章。要?jiǎng)?chuàng)建你的計(jì)劃將需要做一個(gè)重大的背景的研究和工作的每個(gè)部分可能會(huì)覺(jué)得像了很多工作,共2500字。
1. The characteristics of the product. What is the unique selling point of your product plan?
2. Marketing objectives (volume, value, margin, share of the market over five years, be it part of your shampoo in total and or by segment)
3. Market audit – competitors, populated/ “filled in” models buyer behaviour, market sizes, shares, forecasts (Note: you may want to access Norfolk population and other data here and create estimates where necessary). Segmentation and choice of key segments to address.
4. You may want to include market research activities to draw primary data in order to understand your market better.
5. You may want to use PESTLE or SWOT analysis (the strengths weaknesses opportunities and threats specific to your company). Consider using models here rather than simply listing the results of brainstorming http://ukthesis.org/scxzy/
6. Marketing strategy and this includes a communication plan (i.e. 4Ps or more by segment and overall, customer relationship management strategy, in total and by segment)
7. An action plan before the launch (this will include, but is certainly not confined to marketing communications activities; advertisement campaigns) and at least the first three months after the launch.
8. A resource plan to include financial statement of the financial resources (e.g staff, market research costs etc) required to implement the plan.
9. You may also include monitoring and control activities to ensure progress and also to measure the return on your marketing investment.
10. Assumptions (note what your projections and activities will be based upon e.g. economic climate, pace of change, competitive activity, levels of available resource etc)
References: Ensure that all material, quotes, etc. are referenced in the approved manner using the Harvard citation method. An explanation of the Harvard citation method is included at the end of this assignment handout. References do not form part of the 2500 word limit. You should concentrate on academic references, although particularly useful practitioner references from magazines and newspapers are also acceptable as part of the overall set of references
你應(yīng)該專注于學(xué)術(shù)引用,雖然作為整體引用集的一部分,特別有用的醫(yī)生引用從雜志和報(bào)紙都還可以接受。
Any appendices (optional). You may submit background working papers to show your thinking and development of specific sections (e.g. how you estimated market size, how you made realistic projections of income etc). These do not form part of the 2500 words. Note also that these will not be read in detail by the marker and will only be referred to if they clearly support a particular part of the logic of the strategic marketing plan. There are no marks specifically for the appendices but where they clearly explain the thinking and process behind a particular section of your plan they will help the marker to better assess the standard of the plan. They should only be offered if they provide precise background to answer the marker’s question on reading the plan - “How did the student get to that figure/conclusion?” Irrelevant appendices will create the wrong impression in the marker’s mind. The plan and academic references are the source of all marks
只應(yīng)給予他們,如果他們能提供精確的背景標(biāo)記的問(wèn)題回答閱讀計(jì)劃 - “學(xué)生是如何得到這一數(shù)字/結(jié)論?”不相關(guān)的附錄將創(chuàng)建錯(cuò)誤標(biāo)記的頭腦中的印象。計(jì)劃和學(xué)術(shù)參考源的所有標(biāo)記。
