Assessment Task 2 Instructions Complete the following activities:
1. Prepare to plan market research
This assessment requires you to plan to conduct market research. You can choose a company and use its Marketing Plan by viewing the site http://www.mplans.com/ or by researching the Internet for a Marketing Plan for a company that you are interested in. Note that the marketing plan must include sufficient information in order to be able to complete this assessment. This means the marketing plan must include business goals, background to the company, target customers, marketing/branding strategy, sales forecasts and marketing budget. Before you start the assessment task, you should discuss your choice of company with your assessor, who will need to approve your choice before you start the assessment project. If you are having difficulty sourcing a suitable Marketing Plan, your assessor can assist you to source one. For the purposes of this assessment, assume that you are the Marketing Manager of the company that you have chosen and that your assessor is the Managing Director. Assume that the location of the business is in the city or suburb you are living in. You have a budget of $25,000 for market research and a timeline of 2 months. Review the Marketing Plan for the company you have chosen to ensure you understand its business objectives, customers and current marketing strategies, as well as any previous market research conducted. Where the marketing plan does not refer to any market research conducted by the company, assume that: to date the company has only conducted limited market research to identify the market need for the companys product or service when the company was established. Based on your review, identify at least two market research needs for the company. This may be to address a specific issue or general market research on segmentation and aspects of the marketing mix including products or services, pricing, promotional activities/strategies and distribution channels.
2. Plan market research
When you have completed your review, you will be required to prepare a presentation to discuss your proposed market research with your team. Your presentation should last for approximately 30 minutes and you will be required to develop PowerPoint slides for it. Assume that the Managing Director (your assessor) is not a marketing expert, so the information that you present needs to be clear and easy to understand.
