B207: Shaping business opportunities.
The links and relationships across the whole module.
Marketing
Block 1 introduced us to the concept of the marketing mix. Including Place, Product, Price, Promotion, People, Process and Physical environment. Blocks 2 and 3 then expanded on areas of the mix
The marketing mix has been expanded on in Blocks 2 and 3. Promotion has lead to international marketing and internal marketing which are ways of targeting customers and employees in ways that will help the organisation to globalize and expand.
Marketing is integral for an organisation that plans to compete in the global market.
Competing in the global market requires an organisation to know international regulations, exchange rates and the understanding of local cultures.
This knowledge will then allow an organisation to build long term success.
Ethics
Long term success relies on an organisation being ethically responsible and aware of their customers cultures.
Management - different types of management were introduced to us throughout this module
Block one introduced us to operations management.
These managers are responsible for the delivery of gods and services to customers through their management of the organisations resources
This then links to controlling quality in Block 2, which is a criteria of an operations manager.
Operational risk is a linked to managers as they are the people responsible for overseeing certain tasks within the organisation.
Block 3 introduced us to managing in the political context, crisis management and how management is not leadership.

Suppliers, customers, competition and general public all affect the opportunities available for a business. Marketing and measuring both help keep a business well connected with their micro-environment.
