Industry Partnered Feasibility Analysis

This is a live industry assessment that required students to work on a feasibility analysis for an innovation for a Tourism or Hospitality organisation. Students worked in self assigned teams of four to develop a 4000 word report that provided our industry partners with a market analysis, an analysis of the Political, Economic, Social and Technological (PEST) environments and recommendations as to how best develop the innovation and take it to market. This WIL industry partnered assessment resulted in the development of student / industry relationships as students were encouraged to engage with their allocated industry partner to guide the focus of their reports.

Brand Strategy Audit

Business, Economics and Law

Brand Strategy Audit

Student teams will practice with and apply our brand strategy model and methods to a real world brand of their choosing. The project involves qualitative and quantitative consumer research, so that students learn brand analysis not based on the students' own opinions of the brand but on the evidence of consumer perceptions of the brand. Students analyse the current brand strategy and recommend a complete brand strategy plan. This project will help students learn the theory, will help students understand how it is applied, and will help students acquire the skill of how to do a brand audit.
