2. Assessment Outline
MSc Management: International Marketing and Sales
(IMS) Summative Assessment
Assessment background and aims:
Students must achieve a pass in the following element to pass the module, which accounts
for 100% of the module marks. The assignment will take the form of a 3,500 word individual
International Marketing Plan for the international expansion of a company (80% marks) and
a 500 word report on a popular and respected marketing model (20% marks). Thus there
are two tasks that need to be completed as part of the summative brief:
Task One: You are required to complete a well thought out and justified International
Marketing Plan, which focusses on the practical implementation issues facing the
organisation rather than on repeating the course material and theory. However,
theory should be a foundation which supports and explains why you propose a
particular action. You should remember that this is an advanced (Masters) course
and your plan should reflect this through high standards of detailed content and the
quality of your recommendations which should be fully justified.
The general approach to constructing an International Marketing Plan will be taught
throughout the available teaching sessions using case studies.
Task Two: A 500 word report on the Uppsala marketing model (refer to the brief
below).
