Your Task:
You are required to select a grocery retailer in Malaysia which is marketing-orientated and to undertake research into your chosen organisation and the sector within which it operates.
Produce an individual report in which you analyse and evaluate the organisation’s marketing strategies and practices to demonstrate your reasons for concluding that the organisation is “market-orientated”. It is expected that you will support your analysis:
with evidence (such as, illustrative examples of what the organisation is currently doing, data, relevant citations from referenced sources, etc)
by applying relevant marketing tools and techniques to support the analysis ( such as, situational analysis, marketing mix, etc.)
by providing a clear insight into the contribution of marketing to the success of the organisation.
You are strongly advised to pay particular attention to the learning outcomes to ensure that you are satisfying them in your work.
Provide an individual report in which you justify your choice, by means of demonstrating, through the application (not description!) of relevant theory and evidence, how your chosen organisation has adopted the marketing concept and the contribution that this makes to the organisation’s success. You are expected to address the marketing mix and other relevant marketing practices in your work.
