Instructions for Assessment

1. Formative Assessment

The formative assessment for this module takes the form of a group-based poster. You will be asked to conduct an analysis of a global brand with respect to its brand inventory, which includes an analysis of the brand’s global branding strategy, brand positioning, and brand elements. In this analysis, you need to consider the country where the brand was originally developed plus one additional country where the brand is present.
The brand will be provided to you by the Module Convener and all students will analyse the same brand. You will need to include your analysis in an A3 poster of a maximum of 500 words and submit it via Turnitin.
Through your formative assessment, you will have a unique opportunity to test your understanding of concepts that are part of your summative assessment.
Note however that we will not provide any written or marks indicative feedback on drafts for summative assessment at any time. Should you perceive any formative feedback in such a way, then please note that it is not binding for your marking. Markers can also always change, and you have no entitlement to be marked by the Module Convener or tutors.

1. Summative Assessment

The summative assessment for this module consists of an individual business report, a brand audit, on a self-selected brand. You will have to choose a well-known global brand for your assessment. This brand can be of any type (luxury, mass market, online, etc.) and from any product category (food and beverage, consumer electronics, fashion, jewellery, etc.). You must communicate your choice of brand to your seminar tutor and obtain the approval to use the brand you selected by Week 5 of the module. In the brand audit, you are expected to conduct a comprehensive examination of your brand and, based on this analysis, elaborate global managerial recommendations on how to develop your brand in the long term. Your analysis will be based entirely on information from public secondary sources and/or primary data (if necessary), company websites, as well as your own personal or professional experiences and insights.

1. An introduction that presents the global brand you selected and briefly describes the background of this brand including its history, vision/mission, and performance. (About 500 words)
2. A brand inventory, which includes a critical analysis of the global branding strategy, brand positioning, and brand elements of the global brand you selected. In this analysis, you need to consider the country where the brand was originally developed plus at least one additional country where the brand is present. (About 1500 words)
3. A brand exploratory, which consists of a critical analysis of the consumer-based brand equity of the global brand you selected. In your brand exploratory, you need to consider the same countries that you considered in the brand inventory and compare/contrast. (About 1000 words)
4. Development of globally relevant managerial recommendations on how to develop the brand in the long term. Based on your previous analysis in the brand inventory and brand exploratory sections, what opportunities can you identify for the brand? (About 500 words)
5. A bibliography that includes all the references that you used to carry out your brand audit in Harvard format. (Not included in the word count)
