    Segmentation, Targeting & Positioning (STP) Report

    25% of Final Grade

    Due: Friday, 24 April 2026, 11:59 PM NZT

    This report builds on your first report (5Cs Analysis) and requires you to conduct a Segmentation, Targeting, and Positioning (STP) analysis for your product idea.

    While you may continue with the same product idea from your first report, you may choose a new idea if desired. If you reuse your product idea from your first report and it received a poor grade, you may need to adjust it to better meet pain/gain points. No extensions will be given if you regret your initial product choice.

    Physical products are preferable, but you may also choose to market an intangible product (e.g., an app or technology) or a service.

    Please submit your report (Microsoft Word Document or pdf) through Moodle, under “WK08 Assignment 2: STP Report – 25%” by Friday, 24 April at 11:59pm NZT. 

    Note: Students who fail to submit their report to Moodle on time will be penalised as per the lateness penalty indicated on the paper outline.

    Your grade and feedback will be released on Moodle two weeks after the due date.

    • Present segments in comparison to the total NZ market (percentages, median differences, or visual charts).

    4. Primary Target Market Selection

    • Select one of the two segments as your primary target market.
    • Justify your selection based on:
      • Identifiability – Can this group be easily defined based on demographics/behaviour?
      • Sufficiency – Is the group large enough and financially capable of supporting your business?
      • Stability – Will this group remain relevant over time?
      • Accessibility – Can you reach this group effectively through marketing and distribution?
    • Use statistics, locations, and advertising/distribution details where necessary.

    5. Primary Positioning for Your Idea

    • Write a clear positioning statement using the following format:
      “[MY NEW PRODUCT] is the most [UNIQUE ADVANTAGE] in the [DEFINED MARKET FOR PRODUCT] because [REASON].”
    • Create a positioning chart/perceptual map comparing your brand to competitors based on key points of differentiation.

    6. Charts, Data Use & Referencing

    • Include at least two original charts presenting key data.
    • Charts must have:
      • Descriptive titles

    **Description

    Earlier this week, you practiced using ANCOVA models with SPSS and, ideally, used the Collaboration Lab to ask, answer, and otherwise address any questions you had. In this Assignment, you apply what you learned to answer a social research question using ANCOVA. Hopefully you are not yet tired of comparing means!

    To prepare

    Review the datasets provided.
    Construct a research question based on one of those datasets.
    Pay attention to the assumptions of this test, and ask, “Does it make sense to interpret the mean of this dependent variable?”
    By Day 7
    The Assignment

    Use SPSS to answer the research question you constructed. Write an analysis in APA format, including title page, references, and an appendix, that includes your data output and addresses each of the tasks listed below. The content should be 2–3 pages, including setup of the assignment, results, and interpretation of results. Your SPSS output should be included as an appendix.

    What is the null hypothesis for your question?
    What research design(s) would align with this question?
    What dependent variable was used and how is it measured?
    What independent variable is used and how is it measured?
    What is your covariate?
    What is the answer to your research question?
    What are the possible implications of social change?
    Early in your Assignment, when you relate which dataset you analyzed, please include the mean of the following variables. If you are using the Afrobarometer Dataset, report the mean of Q1 (Age). If you are using the General Social Survey Dataset, report the mean of Age. If you are using the HS Long Survey Dataset, report the mean of X1SES. See pages 713 and 714 in your Warner textbook for an excellent APA-compliant write-up of an ANCOVA.

  • Purpose and Mission​Managing in Global Environment calls for state of art management practices and Leadership traits and wide scale implications of Cultural intelligence

    Managing in Global Environment calls for state of art management practices and Leadership traits and wide scale implications of Cultural intelligence and Contingency leadership to bring stability and clarity and make corporate global citizen.

    However, business is merely run by entrepreneurship and successful business needs an amalgamation of all domain and verticals.

    Any successful business is run by teamwork as corporate management is like playing football where all players conjointly strive forward for common goal.

    Starting with HR which forms crux of employment and widening and talent acquisition, employee engagement, talent spotting, reserving and growing talent, promoting talent, corporate governance, ethical management and industrial labor relations has the potential to build strongest base for organizations.

    Financial team comprises of risk management and investment banking, accounting, payments, and legal and audit requirements.

    Marketing teams handle sales, marketing, public relations, digital marketing, analytics, strategy development.

    Operations team make up for supply chain management, logistics, purchase, procurement, maintenance, supervision and engineering.

    IT forms technical and analytical support and cyber security rusk support.

    Thus we see all teams are intee related and it is cross functionality that drives success. Eliminate any one function and whole organisation gets paralysed. If HR doesn’t work the administration collapses. If Finance doesn’t work out no marketing expenditure can be taken ahead. If Operations doesnt work there is no production nor sales.
    If IT doesnt work there is no marketing and no payment mechanism.

    Hence all functions are extremely important and independent. However in overall opinion Hr forms the base because HR function recruits people who are biggest stakeholders and any degradation or malfunctioning in HR can destabilise any organisation.

    Literature review

    Staffing global organisation requires methods like Social Media Hiring, Referral Hiring, and Thid Party Consulting based Hiring which gives quality candidates.

    Social media hiring is best for cultural fitments however can be skeptical which is disadvantage as it doesnt give an holistic view.

    Referral hiring is another effective way because of trust and Recommendations shown. However it can be disadvantageous if referrences are unchecked and unverified.

    Consulting based hiring gives top level candidates based on requirements and expectations. However disadvantages being cost of hiring is very high.

    Organisinations must check for quality and skills as well as qualification like global experience, overall countries travelled, cross border cross domain management skills, Leadership skills, International relations management, Team building.

    Predeparting on boarding opportunity is very critical for global success and hence candidates must b egiven training in global countries and should be given sufficient time to adapt to its culture and way of doing business and then should be expatriated. Here entire family expenses are taken care of and sufficient financial and administrative support is offered for ease if transition to new nation.

    Ongoung training will incorporate learning through peers, transition counselling through past expatriates, reverse mentoring and case studies and collaborative approach like on job training with senuor leaders. Here expatriates are offered regular support to understand working culture, management style and organisation structure and systems.

    Repatriation policies like attractive remuneration and total rewards package, career development plan for next 5 years, family health and insurance, children schooling and education support, long term stock options and bonsues, flatter hierarchy.

    US employments laws like Equal opportunities as per Civil Rights act Article VI is most important and critical to be considered when in UsA as major emphasis is given on non discrimination policy of hiring. Other Acts being Sarbanes Oxley Act and Foreign Corrupt Practice Act which leaders must be aware of for ethical compliance and demonstrating integrity and honesty.

    Interestingly, new managers must be recruited through global standardised training modules which gives rhem hands on experience in managing cultural aspects and global uncertainty.

    Recommendations and Management Implications

    An onboarding program must incorporate following activities in 1 day :

    Case studies
    Quizzes
    Role plays
    Presentations
    Live group discussion
    Key takeaways.

    Each modules above is alloted 1 hour each and is summed up with dissemination of handouts of written material of talent programme trianing and regulations of organisation. It is then concluded by question and answer forum with 2 hour allotment.

    Effectiveness of training programme is largely observed as grads get hands on experience using live industrial usecases and get high degree of feel of corporate atmosphere where teams collaborate and solve conflicts and form interrelationships. Moreover satisfaction survey and feedback for improvement can help gauge effectiveness and scope of improvement.

    Submit a very rough draft of the results AND conclusion/discussion section of your research manuscript.(USE ATTACHED AND REVIEW NOTES/FEEDBACK) I am essentially looking for a thorough rendering of the following:        

    1.     The univariate analysis of your manuscript, including all descriptive statistics (i.e., descriptive statistics AND measures of dispersion/variation).   Include all relevant tables.

    2.     Bivariate analysis and results.   Report on the bivariate relationship between your independent and dependent variable, as well as any control variables that may be related to your dependent variable.  Include all relevant tables.

    3.     The primary multivariate findings/results of your research.   Do you find data to support your hypothesis?   Does your regression model significantly predict your dependent variable?   How well does your regression model “fit” your outcome measure/dependent variable?  What variables significantly predict your dependent variable?   What is the strongest predictor?  Include all relevant tables.

    4.     The discussion/conclusion section should tie everything back together – i.e., what was your topic?   Data source?  Variables of interest?   Primary findings?   What does this all mean?   What were the limitations of your study?   Directions for future research?

    Format: 

     

    There is no specific formatting requirements to this assignment, aside from the fact that the  project MUST be typed, with 1” margins throughout the document.  All students must use 12-point, Times New Roman Font.
