The task is to produce a ten-year market forecast for a good or service of your choice. You can choose another service or goods or I would like to have the market forecast on a service – a licensed residential care service for children in out of home care (northern NSW). The children will need to be in the care of the state (NSW). The service would be residential home set up with 24/7 carers and adhere to the NSW Child Safe Standards for Permanent Care (November 2015).
Please use graphs, tables and figures where relevant.

This assessment will draw heavily on the material presented in Modules 2 and 3. I I can supply all powerpoint slides for modules 2 and 3.

Read these requirements carefully and make sure the brief is formed to include each element
In this forecast you should:

1. Clearly introduce a good or service and position it within a broader market context

2. Identify and analyse the key non-price determinants of demand for the chosen good or service and to correctly identify whether those determinants are likely to increase or decrease demand.

3. Identify and analyse the likely key non-price determinants of supply for the chosen good or service over the next ten years and to correctly identify and assess whether those determinants are likely to increase or decrease supply or stayed relatively constant over the period.

4. Combine the effects of demand and supply on the overall market position and communicate this clearly via the demand and supply framework.

Bring together your demand and supply forecasts, and therefore draw a conclusion about the overall market price/quantity at the end of the decade.

5. Note any potential risks and/or opportunities related to your good or service. Pay particular attention to risks and/or opportunities from a sustainability / sustainable development perspective.

9.3 – Research Paper: Marketing Plan

After completing the module readings, do the following:

  • Identify the KPIs and other metrics to monitor the effectiveness of marketing campaign activities.
  • Provide a summary of the resources and expenses required to execute the marketing plan.
  • Include a table summarizing what needs to happen, when, and who’s responsible for the marketing activities to occur over the next year (assuming that the plan will be updated on an annual basis).
  • Conclude by discussing any significant risks or threats associated with executing the marketing plan and the contingency plans for addressing how they will be managed.

As a final step in the marketing plan project, review all feedback received throughout the term, and update your plan accordingly. As you might imagine, given the dynamic nature of marketing, a feedback and revision loop is necessary to ensure that you have a sustainable strategy!  A strategy that provides customer solutions, meets company requirements…and takes into account society’s long-term interests. This is known as the Societal Marketing Concept.

MGMT 650 Critical Review Assignment

The article for this assignment is provided in the syllabus, under week 9. This is not a group project and it must be done independently.

Read through this outline carefully. When your instructor grades your submission, they will be looking to see if you followed the provided format: you can lose points if you do not. If you have any questions about what to do or need interpretation of the instructions, please post them in the Questions breakout room so that all students can benefit from the information.

Mastery of statistics involves not only the ability to generate sound statistical data, but also the ability to critically evaluate the statistical analysis of others. The latter is the focus of the Critical Review assignment in MGMT 650. A review, or critique, is not a summary or a simple retelling of the major findings in a research article. It is much more. It assesses how well the researcher carries out the required steps in the research process.

 

Elements of the critique

Summary of the article (Discuss what the article is about) This part SHOULD NOT include any of your personal input but rather just summarize what the author did in his/her research.

  • Research Topic
    • What question is the researcher trying to answer?
  • Research Methodology
    • How did the researcher study the topic? Survey? Experiment? Statistical Analysis?
    • Briefly answer who, what, where, and when, and how.
  • Major Conclusions
    • What does the author conclude?
    • What recommendations does he make?

This section should be about 1.5 pages in general.

The next part is the key of the critique.  This next sections of your paper gives an assessment of how well the research was conducted based on what you learned.  Remember you can use your own personal experience and outside articles to help you support your point of view in this section of the assignment.

In-depth critique of the article (Discuss how well the research is conducted in your own words)

Write a brief paragraph for each of the following listed elements in your own words:

  • Purpose

  • Literature Review
