In this Assignment, you will look at the global marketplace in which, thanks to the Internet, even small companies can participate. The external marketing environment is full of opportunities and threats that can have a profound effect on the success or failure of a company, a brand, or a product in the global marketplace. Although the external marketing environment is largely uncontrollable, marketers must always be aware of the many forces that may impact the business. Marketers conduct due diligence for the business by scanning the environment for social, demographic, economic, technological, political, legal, and competitive opportunities or threats.

In this Assignment, you will practice scanning the global marketing environment for opportunities or threats to an organization as a consultant to Enrique’s.

Scenario – Enrique is the owner of Enrique’s (Business Type – any RETAIL business), which is currently located in the city closest to where you live. Enrique has now hired you as a marketing consultant for his business. Enrique has realized the market has become saturated in the United States. At a recent international trade show, he was surprised at how many requests he received to license or franchise his concept in other countries. Your task is the following:

Using the business/industry assigned to you by your instructor, identify another country outside the United States (U.S.) to research to determine the feasibility of entering this foreign market.

PART ONE

Step 1: Mission

Redefine Enrique’s Mission. Enrique’s current mission is more of a product-oriented mission statement. For example, “We sell flowers” or “We make pizza.”

Create a marketing-oriented mission statement for Enrique’s business.

Step 2: Situation Analysis
