Assessment Outline
The module assessment provides a platform for students to demonstrate their understanding and application of emarketing theory explored in the lectures, seminars and practical sessions. This will incorporate all the skills learned on the module and it is designed to reflect a real-life situation.
There are two pieces of assessed coursework for this module, PART 1 & 2.
In the role of an Emarketing consultant employed by your chosen firm, you have been asked to analyse and critique their online presence in terms of customer web experience, online service quality, online customer engagement and social media networking (PART 1).
c (PART 2).
This is an opportunity to look at how a well-established bricks and mortar firm can best take advantage of the Internet and put theory into practice.
Assessment PART 1: Max 1,500 words
Your critique should include a detailed analysis of the firm’s online presence and emarketing activities focusing on:
- Web experience
- Online service quality
- Customer engagement
- Social Media Networking
The assignment is designed to mirror a real-life situation. The critique and analysis should be carried from a marketing perspective. You are required to apply theory into practice; make use of any models and frameworks examined in the module or through your own reading. However, you should not rewrite theories, describe models or quote extensively. The analysis needs to be coherent, with clear, logical explanation and reasoned commentary. High marks will be awarded for analysis, application of theory, commentary, evidence of reading and understanding of emarketing theory.
The assignment does not seek for a predetermined set of answers, but rather expect students to critically evaluate the online presence of one of the two firms outlined above from a marketing perspective. There is scope for investigation and your report can focus on a range of elements to address the assignment components.
