It is important to note that ethical approval must be gained before conducting any
primary research and that all CSF reports must be accompanied by an ethical approval
form 03 signed by the tutor. A copy can be found on the Retail Marketing Management
module learning room on NOW.
Students need to have completed their formative survey by the beginning of November
2017 in preparation for the formative presentation. Following presentation of results,
they should ensure that each individual member of their survey group has a copy of key
results to use when writing the CSF report. Students will then work on an individual
basis to further analyse the information, complete the audit, carry out further
qualitative/quantitative research deemed appropriate (and with a separate,
supplementary, approved ethics 03 form) and make recommendations for the CSF
report.
THE AUDIT – market definition, market size, market trends and forecasts, a micro-
environmental audit, a macro-environmental audit, strengths and weaknesses of your
retailer, marketing assets, opportunities and threats facing the market;
Assessment Criteria
An indication of what is being looked for: students need to demonstrate that they can
understand, evaluate and apply appropriate retail marketing models to analyse the local
market. In addition, students need to critically analyse the information used rather than
describing and accepting what they see. Consideration needs to be given to the
methodology and limitations of the data used. It is important to realise that national
sources alone might not be appropriate for the retailer. Information might come both
from local sources and from the survey data although national sources might be used for
comparative purposes.
(20% weighting)
An indication of what is being looked for: Decisions should be compiled that are pertinent
to the success of the retail outlet studied. These can be based upon current or adapted
retail marketing models and tools but it is important that you clearly identify why the
decision would help to ensure retail success. Some of the reasons could relate to the
primary research data or to academic marketing models with any limitations clearly
identified.
(40% weighting)
An indication of what is being looked for: Using the primary and secondary research
data collected, a retail marketing report should be compiled which clearly identifies the
things that the retailer should focus on in order to be successful in the future. All of the
critical success factors identified in the ‘Further Details’ section of page 3 of this
assignment brief should be covered. It is also important to include a copy of key results
from the survey as well as corresponding ethics approval form(s) (Form 03) in the
appendices of your report to show that you have adhered to ethical requirements within
the primary research used.
