Task 2 – Written Report
Scenario

The BBQ Fun Board of Directors and the CEO have decided to implement an e-commerce strategy to
maintain or increase market share and revenue and satisfy customer needs in line with company
strategic directions.
You have been hired as an external consultant to manage resource planning activities for BBQ Fun’s e-
commerce strategy.
Under the strategy, BBQ Fun would offer all products in an online store. Stock could be stored at no
extra cost at existing stores. Customers would cover delivery costs.
Currently, BBQ Fun has a website, but this website lacks e-commerce functionality. The website would
need to be redeveloped to incorporate this functionality in line with relevant technical specifications.
Existing infrastructure, such as office and store configurations, would need to be adapted to the new
strategy. Additionally, assets, such as delivery vehicles would need to be acquired. New staff would
need to be recruited and existing staff retrained or informed of the e-commerce strategy and
associated operational and performance targets.
All resourcing must be acquired in accordance with relevant internal and external standards –
legislation and codes of practice; intellectual property (IP) rights and responsibilities; and
organisational policies and procedures.
Preliminary approval has been given to amend existing budget to incorporate this strategy.
It is now 30 June 2020 and e-commerce operations are expected to be underway in one year and three
months, by 1 October 2021.
As the external consultant, you will need to determine physical and human resourcing requirements.
Review organisational documentation (Appendix 1 and BBQ Fun Simulated Business) and undertake
preliminary research on e-commerce. Consult with the following personnel to determine resourcing
needs:
● Sales and Marketing Manager
● Technology Consultant.
You will then need to plan physical and human resourcing and establish associated performance
measures and targets. You may consider the Management Team of BBQ Fun, including team leaders in
warehouses, to be resources for the implementation. Use description of their roles in operational
planning when assigning responsibilities.
Finally, you will need to propose resourcing and associated operational changes to the Operations
General Manager, who will, in consultation with the CEO and Board of Directors, provide approval.
