Module Assessment Strategic Marketing MK4S34

The learning outcome will be assessed in the following ways:

1. The completion of an individually prepared written assignment which reports on a live strategic marketing activity / case study. This will consist of 4800 words (+/- 10%) and worth 80% of the overall mark.
2. A piece of self-reflective writing that critically appraises the marketing activity / case study. This will consist of 1200 words (+/- 10%) and worth 20% of the overall mark.
Following the in class ballot, the department store, John Lewis has been chosen overwhelmingly by you as your case study for this assessment: The Doctor Who Experience was favoured by around 6 people and The Other Room by just 2.
We will however, be using these rejected companies in other tasks, so your research will prove to be useful as we progress through the module.
