Consumers (end users) – market size, growth, segments table (for each segment, description,size, motivation, unmet needs)

Competitors Analysis– Competition related factors, Porter’s five forces, Key Success Factors (KSFs), cost structure, distribution, trends strategic groups (competitors in each, market share, strengths weaknesses), specific competitor (characteristics, strengths weaknesses) competitor strength grid
Internal Analysis – performance (sales, profits, quality/service, cost, new products, customer satisfaction, people, other), past strategy, strategic problems, characteristics of internal org including structure, culture and people, strengths weaknesses, financial projections, brand equity, brand identity, brand relationship, value proposition, portfolio (e.g., BCG) etc.
1) In the above analysis, you must explain and justify your point/argument, e.g., why a certain segment should be the target market, or why some factors are KSFs, why some factors are competitive advantage of the company. You should elaborate enough for each point/argument. Your arguments must be backed up by knowledge in this course.
2) Please collect data for market, industry and the company and integrate data analysis in your above analysis. For example,
Market: market size, growth, different segment size, growth, growth rate etc.
Industry: major competitors’ market share, revenue, financial performance etc.
Company: Internal Analysis – performance (sales, profits, quality/service [Fig 6.1], cost,new products, customer satisfaction, people, other), past strategy, strategic problems,characteristics of internal org including structure, systems, culture and people, strengths weaknesses, financial projections.
Publicly listed companies have lots of data available, for example, they can search on https://www.sedar.com/. For local business, there need to be some data involved.
3) Please use sub-title as listed above in your written report.
- Strategy proposed for Managers. Every point in this part needs to be detailed,
operational and realistic.
1) Strategy proposed – based on keys success factors, business strengths, list key initiatives (e.g., Ch5 but you don’t need to limit to Ch 5)
2) Strategic action plan: This should be a time line of what should be done and when – you should be able to use this as a checklist to carry out your ideas to fruition. Here is an example。
3) Contingency planning: what could the company do if this plan fails? Status Quo is NEVER an option. Also, don’t say things like do more research or (here’s a good one) develop a marketing plan! That’s what you’re doing. Choose one of your backup alternatives. (PARAGRAPHS)
