Module Learning Outcomes that are assessed by this assignment are as stated in the Module Outline.


Word limit: 1,000 words- excluding appendices, end notes and bibliography
Due Date: Friday 11.59:59 pm of week 8
Assessment weighting 50%

The activity

You work as a marketing consultant for a company (see above). The firm has asked you to conduct a situational analysis (with accompanying recommendations) for entry into a foreign target market ? which can be any (named ) BRIC nation or South Africa, South Korea, Japan Indonesia, Thailand, Mexico, Argentina or Kuwait .

Your situational analysis should include components such as:

? a brief statement about the international profile (if ?none? state ?none?) of the retailer
and rationale for internationalizing (further)
? an application of a method of assessing the potential of various TM?s with the logic of the chosen market being clearly stated
? analysis of the chosen TM (Country Analysis) relating to the retailing sector
? industry/competitor analysis (within the TM)
? customer analysis (identification of TM customers and behaviours)
? potential positioning (Mapping with explanation)


In summary, normal research process here is to:

? provide cogent business reasons, after briefly identifying the retailer?s international activity, for internationalizing (further)
? demonstrate a means of assessing the comparative attractiveness of various potential target markets
? collect data from the mainstream business sources plus any industry-specific (retailing)
sources
? do an analysis of the data and identify the environmental forces (macro and micro) at
work in the industry with the changes and trends in these
? identify cause and effect between these macro and micro forces and the impact on the
TM at present and into the future, so you can
? select, analyse, prioritise and summarize the key issues that face the retailer in the
potential TM. And develop a positioning depicted on a Map stemming from your
competitor and consumer analyses



Extra Guidance notes

This is to be presented in a report format with the normal report writing rules applying.

The 1,000 words exclude appendices,references and bibliography. Please include the references clearly (there should be at least 10 valid references including material from the net ) Please type double spacing.

Coca-Cola Is Everything: SCM, CRM, ERP, Social Media, You Name it

If we told you that Coca-Cola had operating units in 50 countries around the world, you probably wouldn't be surprised. If we told you that Coca-Cola had been in business for almost 125 years, you probably wouldn't be surprised. So, you tell us . . . how many different beverages does Coca-Cola produce? 100? 500? 2,000? Are you surprised yet? Worldwide, Coca-Cola produces an amazing 2,800 different beverages.
When an organization is that big, has that sort of worldwide presence, and boasts what is perhaps the most well-known brand ever, you can bet that a multitude of IT systems are constantly churning in the back?ground, not only keeping the organization running, but also keeping it running ahead of the competition.
To support internal collaboration efforts, Coke created something it calls its Common Innovation Framework, a Web-based system that combines project management capabilities with business intelligence. Using the Innovation Framework, anyone from any of the operating units worldwide can search for, find, and apply concepts, strategies, development successes, and marketing approaches that have been used elsewhere in the organization. For example, when introducing Georgia teas in Australia, the Coke people Down Under can research what marketing strategies worked well in related countries such as New Zealand. As Jean-Michel Ares, Coke CIO, explains it, "Once you've aggregated that pipeline of innovation, the object is to assess and prioritize the best allocation of resources in the organization.?
Beyond internal employees, Coke is reaching out with new and innovative IT steps. Recently, it rolled out a new line of software services based on hundreds of business processes to its extended family of bottlers. These software services each perform a specific common business function and run within SAP's ERP software and are delivered by Coke's IBM-hosted data centers. The goal is to create a standardized business and technology platform across all Coke bottlers, most of which are independent franchises. (There are some partly owned by Coke.) If Coke and all its bottlers are speaking the same language, so to speak, and using the same technology, then supply chain management applications will be the more efficiently streamlined. Standardization in this case equates to saving money by reducing expenses associated with supply chain activities.
And even beyond its extended family of bottlers, Coke is using social media technology to create loyalty and engage more with its customers. Its award-winning Web site, My Coke Rewards at www.mycokerewards.com, is the second most popular consumer packaged goods site, behind only www.kraftfoods.com. My Coke Rewards attracts some 300,000 visitors per day. Offering everything from magazine subscriptions to electronics as prizes (just look under your bottle cap), My Coke Rewards has reconnected Coke with its loyal drinkers. The site has teamed up with pop culture crazes such as American Idol, soccer, and auto racing to bring even more consumers into the fold. You can even find Coke labeled songs through iTunes. Over 32 million people "like" Coke on Facebook.


Read Case Above: Coca-Cola Is Everything: SCM, CRM, ERP, Social Media, and answer the questions below. APA formatting guidelines require a title page, abstract page, and reference page in addition to the body of the paper.

Why is standardization so important in supply chain management? Coke is developing its own set of software services for bottlers to use. Do you think Coke charges the bottlers for these software services? Why or why not?

How is My Coke Rewards an example of a switching cost? How can a switching cost not have a monetary penalty associated with it?

What sort of business intelligence could Coke gather from its My Coke Rewards Web site? How could it use this information for customer relationship management activities?

Visit Coca-Cola?s Facebook page. Can you buy Coke products there? What social media tools are present that allow you to communicate with Coca-Cola?

Now, visit Pepsi?s Facebook page. Compare and contrast it to Coca-Cola?s Facebook page. Which has more eye appeal? Which seems to have more activity? Why do you think this is true?

Attached you will find the syllabus for the finance course. The information that you would need for the assigned paper would be on page 3 and is as follows :



"Papers should be done individually, and for this class, and will each count for 12% of the grade (including the proposal). Proceed as follows: early in the semester, choose and motivate a topic in a 1 page proposal in which you fully cite at least three recent (last 5 years?), high quality scholarly finance or economics journal references that you expect to use, for 2% of the total grade. Some of the very best scholarly finance journals are listed below. Full citation means include author, title, journal, volume, number, pages, etc... Hyperlinks are nice supplements to this, but obviously don?t work when I try to read your work in hard copy. Make sure your proposal is truly readable. Because I am sometimes curious about unfamiliar sources, I may ask for copies of some of yours. A link will be provided in Blackboard for that purpose. Revised proposals may be resubmitted once as time permits. Your topic may correspond to your career plans after graduation, omitted topics, or just curiosity. I will comment on proposals in Blackboard, within two weeks or less. In addition, I will prepare Blackboard so that you will be able to post preliminary drafts of your papers to Blackboard?s discussion space. You?ll be encouraged to give and get feedback to and from classmates concerning these drafts. Discuss?

First, for each paper, you should carefully read and cite your sources with a minimum of 100-150 pages. If you intend to rely heavily on unusual, or older sources, check with me first, to make sure that they are suitable. Second, I'll want you to do a careful reading of your sources, culminating in a synthesis of the relevant academic journal and other literature. Your efforts should result in a 1500-2500 word research paper, making significant use of the scholarly finance journal literature, and which (with proposal) will count for 12% of the total grade. Include text, footnotes, and a complete, annotated list of sources cited, in one document. Repeat the process for the second paper in the second half of the semester. Feel free to come by my office to discuss ideas or rough drafts.

For research purposes, and to encourage academic integrity, I reserve the right to compare papers submitted here to those submitted at other times or places. In fact, completed papers will be posted to SafeAssign, which checks for overlaps with other sources. If detected, plagiarism will be punished. Discuss?

In particular, the University and Blackboard have added "SAFEASSIGN? to the suite of features in Blackboard. Safeassign is a type of "plagiarism prevention software". Papers run thru it are linked to an assessment of how much of the paper is identifiably from other sources. If these sources are properly quoted and cited, that is fine. If not, there may be a problem. While it is important to note that there may be innocent reasons for any such findings, it is best to take care to ensure that your writing is your own, and credit is given where credit is due.

To get ideas, you may want to search ECONLIT or JSTOR, or peruse recent issues of some of the top finance and economics journals. These include:

American Economic Review, Financial Management,
Financial Review, Journal of Accounting and Economics,
Journal of Business, Journal of Economic Literature,
Journal of Economic Perspectives, Journal of Finance,
Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis, Journal of Financial Economics,
Journal of Political Economy, Review of Financial Studies,
... and many, many others.

On the other hand, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Economist, Business Week, and other newspapers or news magazines, etc. are NOT scholarly finance journals. While you can use them, they do not count toward the "significant use of the scholarly finance literature" required for the paper.

Of course, there are other good journals, too many to list. If you are unsure about a given source, check with me early on. Be especially careful with online sources. Some of them have mixed motives. This is often true of policy oriented journals. Fortunately, most of the major scholarly finance journals are available from the library, free online, or via interlibrary loan. Regrettably, some journals charge for online versions. Such charges can be easier to avoid if you plan ahead - interlibrary loan takes time, and hard copies are not always on the shelves. "




I have recently had another paper completed through this website service and the subject of that paper was financial statements. I have also attached the previous paper, which was favored by the professor, for reference. Please confirm the paper topic prior to starting the paper.

*Must be written in British English (EASY and SIMPLE VOCABULARY)

*This is not an essay, this is questions for tutoring purposes so I would like to request a mature writter to explain it to me.

*All instructions will be given on the attatched file.

Request book reference only.

Point of View Analyses (4 of them) This paper needs to refer to Target

Guidelines:
No more than two pages, single spaced, no smaller than 11 point type. Neatness counts.
The case needs to in reference to Target
If you find that you can not fill two pages, you may be failing to examine the issues deep enough.
This is business writing: clear and to the point. Literary and dramatic embellishments are unwelcome.
Treat this as if you are working for the company, that the information is current and as if you are writing to the CEO.
Lead each section with the appropriate heading in Bold Type
Use at least five sources. Two must be mainstream sources such as Wall Street Journal, Forbes, or Fortune. Another needs to be from a reliable financial source so that the action plan can be financially justified. Make sure to list references at end in a way that another person can find them easily if they need to.
Use financial facts to back up your arguments.
FORMAT (Use these headings for each section):
Situation: From the case, summarize the situation and use points. Use this section to provide information supporting your other areas like establishing the problem, causes and solutions. (around a quarter page or less)
General issues facing the company that relates to your problem. Some people use a SWOT analysis.
Facts and information that would you want to know ??" for the problem and solutions.

Problem or Potential Problem: (around a quarter page+) Narrow down to ONE specific strategic problem that you feel you can address. Start the section with The problem is. Problems and causes look alike so consider whether yours may really be a cause of some other problem. For example, something like high oil prices is frequently considered a problem, but it is really a cause of problems like low profit margin for a trucking company).
Specify if it is urgent.
Consequences of not examining this issue: This is important because..??"do not discuss the causes here.

Causes: Causes of problems. (around a quarter page+)
Understand the systems and get to the root of the problems (causes must relate to the problem).
Need at least three causes. Avoid solutions

Alternative Solutions (3 of them): Generate alternative solutions. (around a half page+ )
(The first solution will always be do what weve been doing as one of the options)
For each of the three Solutions:
First sentence: The first (second third) solution is..
Solutions need to offer enough detail to be real alternatives. If problem is low revenue, increasing sales or building market share are a waste of reading time. What exactly should they do to accomplish this?
Solutions need to match the scope of the problem. If you proposed a problem for Wal-Mart such as high labor expense, suggesting a solution such as buying more comfortable chairs would need some explanation as to why this is sufficient as a stand-alone solution.
Points of leverage for the decision makers
Stakeholders-Specify who will be affected and how. What will their reaction be?
Costs and benefits. Every solution has cost(s) as well as benefit(s).
