. Product Management

Assignment

Possible report elements (these are NOT compulsory – use what works for you):

Title page
Contents
1. Introduction (brief – what is this report about, which company, which market sector – <150 words?)

2. The current situation (c.<1,000 words):
a) Product mix (outline and justify your chosen product mix, analyse its structure & place in the company’s wider product portfolio)
b) Target audience(s) (who uses these products, what needs are being satisfied)
c) Main competitor(s) (what are the main competing product mixes (direct competitors), what indirect competition is there?)
d) Market environment (market shares, change in the market, any particular influences on this market place)

3. New market opportunity (outline the opportunity identified/need to be satisfied, provide evidence of the need, describe the likely customers for this product, all supported by evidence from credible sources – c.1,000+ words)

4. New product proposal (describe the new product, what is it? What benefits does it offer to satisfy the need(s) identified above? How does this fit into the existing product mix? What are the main competing products? What makes your product distinctive? – c.1,300+ words)

5. References

6. Appendices (if needed)
Notes:

• You must make extensive use of relevant models, concepts and theories from the teaching and from your reading. Do not describe them, APPLY them to analyse evidence and justify your decisions/choices. See below for suggestions.

• Do not give general descriptions of the company and its history or general descriptions of its marketing activity – this will not gain marks.

• Focus on current product activity and ensure everything makes key points that add to your arguments about what is happening now. Discussion of the current product mix should make up less than one-third of the report.

• Identification and justification of the new opportunity and the outlining of the new product to exploit that opportunity are the two main parts of this report. They should make up at least two-thirds of the report.

• A discussion of the launch of your new product is NOT required.

• Read this along with the assessment details in the module handbook.

• You must not ‘recycle’ previous assignments into this one.

The list below outlines some models, concepts and theories that might be applicable to each part of the report. These are drawn from every session on the module. Be warned:
• Not all of these will be relevant to every product mix and every new product idea
• Consider carefully what to use and what not to use
• Do not limit yourself only to what is listed below
• The appropriate use of ideas, models, concepts and theories found through your own reading and research will attract good marks

Aims
The aim of this assignment is to develop an in-depth knowledge and understanding of
the practices associated with the management of physical agents in the work
environment within the framework of relevant guidance and legislation.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of the project the student should:
 Have an in-depth understanding of the philosophy and principles of managing
physical agents.
 Have an appreciation of the issues associated with physical agents within an
organisation, how these are measure and managed.
 Demonstrate an ability to select relevant data and information from appropriate
scientific sources and to provide an in-depth and critical evaluation of the information
therein, whilst showing an understanding of the relevant practical implications.
 Be able to use relevant sources of information, with critical insight, to evaluate the
costs and benefits of managing physical agents.
 Be able to formulate innovative proposals with appropriate and detailed justification.
 Be able to reflect on the significance and inter-relationship of the knowledge gained
in this course and within the broader context of health and safety
 Further develop skills of critical evaluation.
General Instruction
You should research a range of reference materials including recent published research
relating to the physical agent you are discussing. Journal articles on research can be
found through the portal in the e-library using science direct, for guidance on accessing
journals and eBooks online please refer to the accessing electronic resources guide on
Moodle.
The work is to be word-processed and appropriately referenced using the Harvard
system of referencing. It should be presented in the form of an essay and the length
must be with 10% of the 3000 word limit, excluding appendices, bibliography, etc. A
word count must be included.
All assignments must be submitted electronically using the Turnitin plagiarism service
through Moodle (even where a hard copy is required by your local centre). In the correct
Moodle course, click on the Assignment folder; Assignment Submission; identify and
click the correct assignment link and then follow the instructions.
There are a number of centres offering this programme so you must ensure you
submit in the correct folder or your assignment may not be marked.
You may also be required to submit a hard copy to your local centre. Your local centre
will tell you whether or not a hard copy is required to be submitted. Assignments will not
be marked unless they are submitted electronically.
Assessment
This coursework accounts for 60% of the course marks. The pass mark is 50%. The
final grade for the course is an aggregate of the grades achieved for assignment 1 and
2. It is not necessary therefore to pass both assignments to pass the course overall. It
will be assessed on the basis of:
Content 45%
Critical evaluation 25%
Structure and presentation 15%
Referencing 15%
Feedback
Written feedback is provided on Moodle along with your grade breakdown. Please
ensure you pay close attention to your feedback and email your course tutor should
you require any further clarification on the points raised.
Submission
This assignment will normally be submitted 12 weeks after the study school but check
online in Moodle or with your Centre for exact dates.
Work submitted late will not be marked unless a formal extension of time has
been granted. Please contact your course tutor if you cannot make the
submission date.

Plagiarism and Copying
It is not acceptable to copy other student’s coursework or material directly from your
sources of information. This is plagiarism. If you copy material it will be highlighted by
the Turnitin system that is used for on-line submissions. The copied content will not be
marked and you may be referred to the Plagiarism Panel and will be awarded a zero
mark. Your final mark transcript will also show that you have been penalised for
submitting plagiarised material.
We will ignore small matches associated with common phrases and terms and will
ignore matches highlighted in your reference list when considering whether or not your
work is plagiarised.
As a general rule you should aim to get your similarity index into the “green” zone on
Turnitin. If you are in the “amber” zone you will need to look very carefully at your work
to see what you can put into your own words to reduce your score. High amber scores
may be referred to the plagiarism panel and will certainly mean that a significant part of
your work will not be considered in the marking. If you are in the “red” zone you will be
referred to the plagiarism panel.
We strongly advise you to submit a final draft through Turnitin well before the cut-off
date to check your similarity index. Please remember that you are only allowed to
submit one draft version of your coursework every day so leave yourself plenty of time
to revise and resubmit your final version of the coursework.

This is the current situation that the company is in from a marketing perspective. Assignment 1 also developed an established segmentation profile for each segment that might be targeted. On the basis of that analysis and the situation the company is therefore in and the established segmentation profile, you are required to individually reflect on how you would conclude that plan relative to selected key issues from the SWOT by analysing it, on the basis of marketing objectives for that setting, deciding on which markets to target based on the segmentation analysis conducted as part of the external analysis, on how to position the product/company and an outlining overall approach to an appropriate marketing mix. You need to illustrate the links between the various elements of the marketing plan during this reflection. You must incorporate academic literature to support / justify your discussion.

It is essential that project managers have a clear strategy and approach as to how they will manage projects. Without a clear approach at the outset of a project there is little chance that the project management will function or operate effectively, it will become a series of loosely connected activities
that is reactive rather than pro-active. Projects that have a clear approach and strategy have an integrated focused organisation and are significantly more successful. It is therefore an essential part of the development of your individual approach to management that you consider and develop how you will manage projects.

Scenario
The clients for a project have provisionally appointed you to manage their project, before confirming the appointment they would like to be confident that you will be successful. The final appointment will be discussed and confirmed at a meeting of the Board of Directors. In order to make their decision, the
Board of Directors have asked you to submit a report that explaining how you propose to manage the project.

Task
Write a proposal (in the form of a professional report) to the Board of Directors that sets out your personal approach to management, your project strategy and how you propose to manage the project.
