Your Task
INDIVIDUAL WRITTEN REPORT
You are required to develop a Marketing plan for an organization strictly in either manufacturing or mining or services based in Oman. You need to select a product or service of the organization then develop marketing strategies to improve the Product/Service performance and provide suitable recommendation to the management. You can add an element of novelty to the entire process; it could be on the product features, Positioning, Branding, and Segmentation (finding a new target segment for an existing product). You will conduct background research (secondary research - journal articles, industry magazines, websites, news reports) in the service or product area and outline major SWOT elements. You will be required to understand the potential consumer market to identify a target market (through the segmentation process) and develop a strategy to connect and communicate your ‘new' product or service to the target group. The use of modern applied marketing theories together with traditional theories is highly regarded. Use of journals and research will be highly rewarded and is a must.
Note:-
1. You are required to explore how the theories of Marketing Orientation (MO) or Marketing Philosophy is being implemented in the chosen organization and how it can be improved as part of your recommendations in the Marketing Plan. Wider and cross cutting issues related to Oman, GCC, WTO, Omanization, oil price dynamics and Oman local cultural dynamics and their effect on this plan should be thoroughly reflected in your Marketing Plan.
2. The oil price shocks and their effect on the Marketing Plan implementation must be reflected extensively too, if applicable.
3. The economic slowdown in China and other Newly Industrialized Countries (NICs) and current European economic turmoil and its effect on the plan should be addressed, if applicable.
4. The low oil prices in and outside Oman and their effect on this plan must be reflected in your assignment.
5. A minimum of 5 current relevant journal articles is required. The articles should be about marketing theory and practice and from reputable Marketing journals.
