Critically analyse the impact of technology on data analytics and what this means for the strategic management of omnichannel marketing and supply chain processes.

Omnichannel

Details of what you are expected to do:

1. Rationale
The rise and adoption of technology within business practices means that in order to meet the needs of changing consumers within a new purchase journey, organisations have had to adopt an omnichannel approach to processes and services. Technology and data analytics are now employed throughout the business and influence strategies from product development to final delivery. This is particularly relevant in a global trading environment where business practices are encouraged to be sustainable. Students should understand the significance of adopting Omnichannel strategies throughout business processes and services including marketing and supply chain management. By critiquing the omnichannel practices of a global company of their choice they will be able to demonstrate an understanding of omnichannel best practice and the strategic importance of this to a business. Students are free to choose any company they wish but their choice should be discussed and agreed with the tutor. When deciding, students should bear the following in mind:
1. The company must be global (i.e. have global stakeholders).
2. Size of company – any size company is fine (NB: a global company might also be a SME).
3. Industry – students should be guided by personal interest/knowledge.

2. The learning outcomes being assessed

The learning outcomes being assessed are learning outcomes 1-5:

1. Demonstrate a critical understanding of the omnichannel consumer and the evolving customer purchase journey, identifying how this impacts business strategy.

2. Critically analyse the impact of technology on data analytics and what this means for the strategic management of omnichannel marketing and supply chain processes.

3. Critically evaluate the rise in sustainable omnichannel strategies for global supply chain management.

4. Appreciate the need to manage businesses in an omnichannel manner for both business -to- business and business-to-consumer marketing and management, using technology as a key management tool for decision-making.

5. Apply the principles of omnichannel strategic business management in order to determine best practice for the design of a strategic omnichannel business strategy, using the appropriate academic theory.

3. Overview of assignment
Students are required to compile an individual business port folio (using the e-portfolio tool, Mahara) for a global business of their choice. The aim of the assignment is to evaluate how the chosen company has adapted its strategy and business processes to trade in a global omnichannel environment (i.e. how ‘omni’ are they?). The portfolio should be presented in a business report format, with sections addressing the following areas:

Executive Summary – students should include a succinct summary of the report at the beginning, giving specific yet concise details;

Clear Introduction to the company under consideration, including the platforms and trading formats that they engage with;

Macro Analysis – referring to relevant theory using appropriate references, the section should include technology trends, the changing consumer and consumer experience (including the purchase journey and omnichannel considerations);

Micro Analysis – linking practice to relevant theory using appropriate references, the section should include who the customers are (B2B and/or B2C), their competitors, and their trading formats:

Students should consider the company’s physical, online and mobile marketing and supply chain strategies.

Included in this section, where relevant, should be an evaluation of the company’s technology initiatives – employment of technology to aid processes (functional) and services (functional and fun) and the role of analytics. Students should embed this discussion within the sections, critiquing the benefits and pitfalls of using technology
as a business process and strategy. Students should review strategies in relation to
sustainability in a global context.

It is important to consider how all of the platforms come together as ‘touchpoints’ in the customer journey – appraise how well your company does this in terms of being where the customer wants them to be.

Conclusion & Recommendations – a clear conclusion, summing up the main findings and providing 2-3 suggestions of ‘best practice’ recommendations stating how close to best practice your company stands. Your assessment should be based on the discussion in previous section.

References – reference list provided in BU Harvard format

Appendix/Appendices – this should only be used for materials which support and add depth to the discussion and evidence what is already embedded in the main document (e.g. further explanation of a large report). Evidence within the portfolio can be secondary research that is either pictorial (e.g. screen shots, adverts), or written (e.g. articles from the news, company data). Students may also wish to conduct primary research where relevant e.g. store audits.

Write in a professional manner using proper grammar and spelling.
What to submit/deliverables: Word document downloaded from Chapter 9 in the webtext and uploaded to the Week 9 Assignment in Blackboard.

What is the value of doing this assignment? This assignment gives you an opportunity to practice the skill of problem solving. It will show that you can use diverse and ethical perspectives when solving a problem and making a decision. Problem solving is a universal skill and one you will continue to refine as you progress throughout your career. This assignment asks you to use what you’ve learned in weeks 7–9 of the course about actively problem solving and considering diverse perspectives. Worried about where to start? The good news is that you’ve already laid the foundation throughout the course in your webtext readings, videos, and Learn sections in Blackboard.

Your goal for this assignment is to: Practice your problem solving skill. You will do this by writing a cover letter that demonstrates your knowledge of diverse and ethical perspectives and how they could be applied to the job you are applying for.

What you need to complete this assignment:

Cover letter template, provided in the webtext.
Downloaded cover letter from the webtext.
Steps to complete: Complete the template for Assignment 3 in Chapter 9 of the webtext. You will be asked to write a 3-paragraph cover letter to the head of the diversity and ethics committee.

STEP 1:Describe how your background and unique perspectives would be a valuable addition to the team.

STEP 2: Give an example of a time when you intentionally looked at other diverse and ethical perspectives in order to make a better/more ethical decision.

STEP 3: Answer the following questions based on the scenario below:

In the graduate program at Herringbone University, students are allowed only one missed class per semester or they face academic discipline. Three female students have approached you as the diversity and ethics officer with a concern about the policy. They explain that they all have young children (as do many students in the program), and getting childcare during class times is difficult because some of the classes don’t end until 8:00 in the evening. They feel the policy is unfair, especially since the university doesn’t offer any support, leniency in policy, or childcare options. In addition, the location of the university (an upper middle class neighborhood where most children have at least one parent at home) is not where most students live (a neighborhood where most children have two working parents or a single working parent).

How would you approach this issue using diverse and ethical perspectives? Use specific examples from the scenario and your personal and professional life.
Why is it important to consider diverse and ethical perspectives in this situation?
How would you raise awareness and communicate the importance to others at your school in your role on the diversity and ethics committee?
