Final Exam: 3 hours closed book TBA 50% Individual Evaluate and synthesise new information and existing knowledge from a multitude of sources and experiences
Critically analyse case studies to derive at recommendations to address marketing issues and opportunities

• To gain a pass for this course, a mark of at least 45% must be obtained on the examination as well as a total of at least 50% for individual work and a mark of 50% overall. Students not achieving the minimum exam mark will be awarded no more than 49 for the course.
• Assessment marks prior to the final exam will be displayed on the course website. Students are encouraged to check their marks and notify the Lecturer-in-Charge of any discrepancies.
• Legible hand-writing and the quality of English expression are considered to be integral parts of the assessment process. Marks may be deducted because of poor hand-writing.
• Students must attend at least 80% of classes or they will forgo their right to a supplementary exam on academic grounds

Assignment 1 - Class Discussion and (optional) blog support (Individual grade 10%)
Get involved
By the end of the course, I will know all of you pretty well. I will have spent over 35 hours in a classroom with you, seen some projects and taken attendance (really just as a reminder to me). This is ample opportunity for me to allocate 10% of the course mark to the quality of your contribution. This can be confronting for some people, but part of the transition to senior manager role involves being prepared to comment when the opportunity arises.
So this component of assessment in the course is essentially around the week’s case study, but general engagement within the class is good too.
Why not build a blog?
Grasp the nettle. Many people in business these days are creating a simple reflective blog – allowing it to be public but enhancing their personal brand. If you feel a little uncomfortable about speaking up in class, then why not do some reflection in a blog – even one that is public. This provides a triple benefit; you learn a few new skills, you can supplement the insights you demonstrated in the class, and it pumps you up the Google rankings against your name. In the first session I’ll show you how to get a blog going. It’s a five minute job. For the “tragic” among us, we might feed the blog with an outreach medium such as Twitter.
So for A1 the overarching criterion is as follows:
The instructor’s subjective assessment of the student’s contribution to the discussion of marketing concepts, principles and examples. This can occur in a face-to-face or blog context, or both.
 
Assignment 2 - Company Marketing Audit (Individual grade 15%)
In 1500 words, using a company/product/brand with which you are familiar you are required to conduct a marketing audit. This is a preliminary phase, where you get to view a company through a marketing lens and determine if you would like to use that company for Assignment 3.

Use a business report format (executive summary, table of contents, appendices). Using the learning from Sessions 1-3 you will need to critically assess the organisation/product/brand and its environment and address:
1. Who appears to be the company's customer?
2. What is the customer's need and how is that need being satisfied by the company.
3. Provide a brief environmental scan for your company and indicate opportunities and threats
4. Provide an outline of how your company would apply the five step market research process
5. Utilise your answers to questions 1-4 to derive recommendations for the company/product/brand.

Assignment 2: Assessment Criteria



Assignment 3 – Company Marketing Advice (Group – Pair – Grade 20%)
3000 words – table of contents, appendices and tables are excluded from a word count.
Students will be formed into pairs and will act as a consultants to the company of your choice. You can choose to consult to one of the companies you covered in assignment 2, or a completely new one.
As a pair, you are required to provide marketing advice to your client. This is loosely in the form of a marketing plan and needs to follow the rubric as given below.
Each week’s lecture and discussion content builds to assist you in creating this piece of marketing advice. There is substantial weekly support at the Cengage NOW website http://login.cengagebrain.com/course/E-X7FG2JH8HHAFQ as we work through this.

The Marketing Environment
The marketing environment consists of external forces that directly or indirectly influence an organisation’s acquisition of inputs (human, financial, natural resources and raw materials, and information) and creation of outputs (goods, services, or ideas).
SWOT Analysis
One tool marketers use to assess an organisation’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats is the SWOT analysis.
Strengths and weaknesses are internal factors that can influence an organisation’s ability to satisfy its target markets.
Opportunities and threats exist independently of the organisation and therefore represent issues to be considered by all organisations, even those that are not competitors.
Marketing Objectives
A marketing objective states what is to be accomplished through marketing activities.
Marketing goals should be based on a careful study of the SWOT analysis and should relate matching strengths to opportunities and/or convert weaknesses and threats.
Marketing Strategy
The next phase in strategic planning is the development of strategies for each functional area of the organisation.
Within the marketing area, a strategy is typically designed around two components: (1) the selection of (a) target market segment(s) and (2) the creation of a marketing mix that will satisfy the needs of the chosen target market.
Implementing Marketing Strategies
Marketing implementation is the process of putting marketing strategies into action.
Controlling Marketing Activities
The formal marketing control process includes the establishment of performance standards, evaluation of actual performance by comparing it with established standards, and reduction of differences between desired and actual performance.

Do:
• Present the case in report format with subheadings and paragraphs following a logical structure.
• Use tables, diagrams and further analysis of data to clarify, illustrate and supplement analysis and support your recommendations.
• Use page numbers and 1½ spacing for ease of reading and feedback.
• Use citations from original sources when they are used, using an accepted format such as Harvard. If sources have not been acknowledged, they will be considered as plagiarised!
• Proof read your reports thoroughly, for grammatical and spelling errors.
Do not:
• (DO NOT) Use bullet points unless you are simply presenting a list which is self explanatory. Bullet points do not lend themselves to discussion and explanations.
• (DO NOT) Copy material or use ideas from other sources without acknowledging the source. Failure to acknowledge the source will be interpreted as plagiarism which is a serious offence.
• (DO NOT) Use SWOT analysis as the only form of analysis - this is a good starting point but you will need to go much further using the concepts from the course as the framework. You may summarise the SWOT analysis in a diagram or a table and briefly explain it in the body of the report.

Assignment 3: Assessment criteria


Assignment 4 - Case Study Presentation and Discussion (Group grade 5%)
Each group of students will briefly present a negotiated case, outline relevant questions and facilitate the related discussion. The focus of each session should be on the previous week’s topics and relevant topics from earlier seminars.

Presenting students will be expected to:
1. provide a brief summary of the case, the relevant environment and issues arising from the case, including prior reading of any websites
2. develop suitable questions for discussion, and
3. give their considered points of view as part of a facilitated discussion of all students in the class.

All students should come prepared and be able to take part in the discussion of issues that arise in the course of the case discussion. The presenting students will facilitate discussion among the class to further explore the question and thinking related to formulating an answer to case discussion questions.

Assignment 4: Assessment criteria

Presentation of Assignments
• Please must retain a copy of all assignments submitted.
• All assignments must be submitted electronically through the MyUni assignments portal
• Please attach an ‘Assignment Cover Sheet’, which is signed and dated by you before submission.
• All group assignments must be attached to a ‘Group Assignment Cover Sheet’, which must be signed and dated by all group members before submission. All team members are expected to contribute approximately equally to a group assignment.
• Lecturers can refuse to accept assignments which do not have a signed acknowledgement of the University’s policy on plagiarism.

No Resubmission
Once your paper is in, it’s in. You can’t take your assessed paper, rework it and resubmit it.

Re-Marking / Disputes
The markers work very closely for consistency. We mark to rubrics (that you have) and we consult throughout the marking process. If you wish to dispute a mark you’ve been given, you need to raise it with the lecturer in charge within a week, giving the areas (referring to the rubric) that you think deserve more attention. You might get an email in response, but you’ll probably be asked to come in and see the lecturer.

Late Assignment Submission
Students are expected to submit their work by the due date to maintain a fair and equitable system. Extensions will generally only be given for medical or other serious reasons. All requests for extensions must be emailed to the lecturer in charge of the course before the due date. Each request will be assessed on its merits. A late assignment (without prior arrangement) will be penalised by according to the schedule below. Submitting your assignment late (with or without an extension) also means you miss the primary marking cycle; it probably will get returned to you a lot later than your classmates get theirs.
