You are encouraged to conduct external research from reputable and quality sources. Ensure you comply with the academic honesty standards outlined In Guide for Preparing and Submitting the Assessment section. You must submit only the finalised report (refer to Stage 2 below) in your portfolio.
Your report will have two stages:
• Stage 1: you are required to draft a report in which you need to identify and evaluate marketing opportunities to determine whether they can meet organisational objectives. It must also clearly document how current business operations need to be modified and what resources required to take advantage of newly identified and evaluated opportunities. This draft version will then be presented to the audience (Assessment Activity 3) to collect feedback, which you will then reflect the feedback on your final report.
• Stage 2: you are required to finalise your report taking the feedback gathered during your presentation (Assessment Activity 3) into consideration. This will be the final version ready to be submitted to your Trainer/Assessor with your portfolio. Your Trainer/Assessor will lead the feedback process.
