However, students who wish to do a plan for their employer or other company, instead of choosing from the above list, must seek approval from your lecturer, and provide evidence that they have established contact/commitment from a real company in order to proceed with the assessment.

The two subject assessments are interlinked:
- The market analysis
- The international marketing project plan

(b) considering the entry of a new product/service to a new overseas market.

marketing strategies when entering a country.
