Assignment Details

Throughout this class, you have been working with a product of your creation that dealt domestically. This week, you will switch gears and address a real company that does global business.

Note: Please refrain from using assignments from other classes that you have taken.

The Analysis

Select a global company of your choice in the service industry. Using your selected global company as the subject matter, research the principles of marketing that impact this organization, and prepare an APA paper with the following:

  • Describe the main line of business of the company.
  • Name 4 of the countries in which the company operates.
  • Explain in detail the implementation of the 4 P marketing mix concept by the company, including the following:
    • Competition
    • Target market
    • Product strategy
    • Distribution strategy
    • Communication strategy
    • Pricing strategy
  • Describe any differences observed in the implementation of this concept from one country to another.

This assignment will be assessed using additional criteria provided here.

Your report must include a reference list. All research should be cited in the body of the paper. In-text citations and corresponding references should be included in your paper. For more information on APA style, please visit the APA lab. The paper should be written in third person, which means that pronouns like “I,” “we,” and “you” are not appropriate. The use of direct quotes is strongly discouraged.

Your assignment should contain a cover page, an abstract page, and a reference page in addition to the body. The body of the paper should be 3–4 pages in length, starting with a brief 1-paragraph introduction and ending with a short conclusion. The entire submission will be 6–8 pages in length.

Please submit your assignment as a Word document in APA format using the attached template.

Submitting your assignment in APA format means that you will need a minimum of the following:

  • Title page: Remember to include the running head and the title in all capital letters.
  • Abstract: This should be a summary of your paper, not an introduction. Begin writing in third person voice.
  • Body: The body of your paper begins on the page following the title page and abstract page, and it must be double-spaced (be careful not to triple- or quadruple-space between paragraphs). The typeface should be 12-point Times New Roman or 12-point Courier in regular black type. Do not use color, bold type, or italics, except as required for APA headings and references. The deliverable length of the body of your paper for this assignment is 3–4 pages. In-body academic citations to support your decisions and analysis are required. A variety of academic sources is encouraged.
  • Reference page: References that align with your in-text academic sources are listed on the final page of your paper. The references must be in APA format, using appropriate spacing, hang indention, italics, and upper and lower case as appropriate for the type of resource used. Remember, the reference page is not a bibliography, but it is a further listing of the abbreviated in-text citations that are used in the paper. Every referenced item must have a corresponding in-text citation.
