advertising industry

Design and Marketing Ltd
Aims
The aim of the study is to analyse the impact of using digital technology in the contemporary
competitive market. In the modern era, business enterprises are able to observe their position in
market using digital technology like internet. Henceforth, the study will provide clear conception
on the importance of using digital technology in the competitive market.
P2 Plan of project management
In time of expanding the business of venture, the business organisations draw their planning in
the appropriate way. As commented by Audretsch and Belitski (2017, p.1045), proper planning
can assist to bring success in the society. Effective planning includes the concept of scope, cost,
quality, communication, resources risk and many others. In time of making the plan for
expanding the business of Langland advertising, the authority has focused on the following
matter-
Cost
As per the viewpoint of Brown and Mason (2014, p.754), the advertising media completely
depends on the technology. Henceforth, technology is developed day by day. As Langland wants
to expand their business from Windsor to any other cities, it is necessary to use advanced
technology like machines and modern equipments for presenting their news in the attractive way.
The estimated cost for the project is around $3.5 million helps to bring positive outcome.
Time
As the organisations try to expand their business, they need to make the market research in the
lucrative way. Proper marketing research assists the authority of organisation to understand the
part, where, they need to bring development for expanding their business. Therefore, they use
internet, as digital technology in time of making their research. In order to extent the business,
around 6 months time has been taken.
Quality

All time, it has been observed that best quality products help to attract the eyes of customers. In
case of advertising organisation, as mentioned by Brown et al. (2014, 53), the authority needs to
present their news in the charming way, as the audience finds interest in time of seeing the
advertisement. Therefore, in case of Langland advertising, the authority needs to produce the
news in the pleasant way for improving their quality.
Scope
The scope of using digital technology is that Langland advertising is able to make their market
research very easily. As internet helps to give information related to the topic, the authority of
Langland can complete their research very easily. Henceforth, Langland can build awareness of
people using digital technology and providing advertisement on the media.
Risk
In time of expanding the business, the authority of Langland needs to be careful in time of using
digital technology. Many a times, it has been noticed that the authority of venture uses the online
money transaction procedure. Henceforth, they need to use strong data security software for
avoiding risk. However, hacking is another risk in time of using digital technology.
Resources
In order to expand the business of the venture of Langland advertising, the authority can collect
information of other advertising ventures using internet. However, as Langland advertising has
tried to expand their business, they can collect information using social media. The rating of their
venture helps to understand their position in the market.
Communication
Appropriate communication in the enterprise can bring success for the venture in the effective
way. As asserted by Díaz-Chao et al. (2015, p.1445), if the employees of the venture can share
their knowledge with others, it helps to introduce new ideas related to production of the entity. In
case of Langland advertising, as they want to expand their business, they can use intranet in their
organisation for making efficient communicating system. The intranet is a digital technology,
which helps to spread the announcement of the venture among the employees very quickly.
Henceforth, the authority of Langland tries to communicate with their employees using intranet
in the venture. It aids to imply their plan in the lucrative way.
Plan

As Langland advertising wants to extend their business, they have tried to prepare an online app,
based on which, the authority can complete their market research. Using this app, they try to
communicate with their customers for getting positive outcome. In order to prepare the planning,
the authority has tried to develop effective communicating system as they can produce the
software in the updated way. In time of planning, Langland has focused on the online risks as
they can solve it in the appropriate way.

Gantt chart
Appropriate planning can bring success in the organisation in time of implementing the new
plan. Langland advertising is a small-size business enterprise and they try to follow the other
business ventures for bringing improvement in their working procedure. As they have developed
a mobile app, Gantt chart shows the procedure of planning. As mentioned by Grunwald (2015,
p.500), if the authority is able to make their planning, they can imply it effectively. Henceforth,
the organisation has hired software development experts for developing software, which helps to
provide information related to the condition of the venture. However, in order to complete the
project, $3.5 million dollar has invested.

(Source: learner)

In time of developing the software, the project management team of Langland needs to observe
the activities of employees for getting early outcome. In order to observe the activities, the
authority can install CCTV, which is considered as digital technology of the venture. It helps to
imply the plan appropriately and organisation can easily expand their business in the
contemporary market.
Task 2
LO2
P4 Small-scale research using quantitative and qualitative research
In order to fulfil the aim of project, the business authority needs to collect data for the
contemporary market. In the opinion of Hobbs et al. (2017, p.975), in time of gathering data, the
authority can use two kinds of research like quantitative research and qualitative research. The
above-mentioned research types help to gather opinion of employees and customers related to
the usage of digital technology for expanding the growth of enterprise. The research types
followed by-
Qualitative research
As per the opinion of Knight and Liesch (2016, p.95), qualitative data is considered as the
secondary data and the methods include grounded theory, case study, summary,
phenomenological and many others. In order to analyse the study of using digital technology, the
authority can collect data from journals and books for getting innovative idea related to the
expansion of business. In case of Langland, as they want to increase the growth of venture, they
can go through the expansion procedure of the other ventures in the contemporary era. However,
Le Bas et al. (2015, p.125) contradicted that the business organisations can use theories like
organisational theory, performance theory in time of making their plan. The organisation theory
assists to implement the plan in the appropriate way. In case of Langland, they can follow the
phenomenological method, which incorporates the idea of watching documents, videos and
many others for implementing the plan in an appropriate way.
Quantitative research
Quantitative analysis assists the venture to know the perception of managers of different
organisations like ASA, M&C Saatchi, employees and customers. Mathews et al. (2016, p.826)
commented that primary and secondary are the two types of research methods. The primary
research method incorporates survey, providing poster and many others. Survey is the effective

way for knowing the perception of employees or customers in the venture. As Langland wants to
expand their business using digital technology, they can set a questionnaire for the customers for
knowing the perception of them. As it is advertising media, the authority of Langland needs to
provide service within affordable price. Therefore, survey helps to convey the conception of
customers, based on with, the authority can improve their services.
On the other hand, Mazzei et al. (2016, p.57) commented that, secondary method of quantitative
analysis includes the notion of taking interview. The authority can take interview of managers of
renowned organisations like ASA, M&C Saatchi for knowing their conception about using
digital technology in time of expanding the business. In time of developing the software, the
authority needs to know the conception of the customers and develop it in the effective way as
they can meet aim and objectives of the venture.

Different research methods like qualitative and quantitative analysis assists to get various
conceptions of the customers, employees and manager of different organisations. Many a times,
it has been observed that managers of different ventures provide answer in the diplomatic way.
Henceforth, the authority can take proper decision using the survey report of venture.
D1
As commented by McGuirk et al. (2015, p.971), in time of planning the project, the authority of
enterprise needs to observe the activity of the workers. It ensures that the authority is able to
touch their aim within deadline.
On the contrary, Mian et al. (2016, p.7) stated that the business authority needs to make survey
for understanding the conception of their customers. However, for developing the business
strategy related to the growth of venture, they can take interview of the renowned ventures,
which are completely reliable.
Task 3
LO 3
P5 Analysis about techniques and tools
Using appropriate techniques and tools, the business organisation is able to achieve their aim in
the contemporary merchandise market. In the opinion of (2013, p.133), tools like survey, taking

interview and techniques like observation, training assist to develop the website of the venture in
the user friendly way. The analysis for managing the business project are followed by-
Tools
As commented by (2017, p.1040), in order to collect information, at present, the authority of
company tries to use internet. It is known to that entire internet is the easy procedure for
gathering information related to the topic. In case of Langland, the authority can search in
internet for knowing the impact of the customers for using digital technology. Through internet,
the authority of Langland gets different kinds of books and journals related to the digital
technology and it helps to develop knowledge of employees in the perfect way.
On the other hand, Oldham and Da Silva (2015, p.8) contradicted that the business authority can
take interview of managers of other ventures for knowing their perception related to the digital
technology. Several times, it has been noticed that the managers of different enterprises do not
want to reveal their strategies related to the expansion the expansion of business. In this case,
they provide diplomatic answer. The authority needs to interact properly making their conception
clear. In case of Langland, as they have tried to develop an application for knowing the market
condition and providing online service to the users, it is necessary to know the impact of
customers. The above-mentioned tools help to develop the project in the lucrative way.
Techniques
In time of implementing the project, the business organisations need to use proper techniques
like group discussion, observation, face to face interview and many others. The discussions of
techniques are followed by-
Observation
As Langland is going to introduce a mobile application for increasing their growth of venture,
the authority should observe the activity of the workers in time of developing the software. Many
a times, it has been seen that, the employees are not enough efficient for designing the program.
In this case, the higher authority of Langland can rectify the problems and complete the project
in the flawless way.
Group discussion
As commented by Ramdani et al. (2013, p.745), if the higher authority of business is able to
arrange group discussion before starting the project, it assists to bring positive outcome. In the
group discussion, employees of venture are able to share their notion related to the designing of

the software. The group discussion in an enterprise is the way to identifying the best procedure
for achieving the aim of venture. Langland has followed the techniques of group discussion for
earning positive outcome in the merchandise market.
P6 Recommendation based on data analysis
In time of developing the software in the venture, the authority of Langland can followed few
recommendations, which are followed by-
Providing training
As the authority of Langland wants to develop a mobile application for knowing their condition
in the market, it is necessary to provide training to the existing employees of the enterprise.
Many a times, it is seen that the workers are not able to access the mobile application in the
appropriate way. Henceforth, proper training is able to remove the above-mentioned problem. It
assists to increase efficiency of workers of Langland in the contemporary era.
Using advanced technology
The authority of Langland can introduce advanced technologies for developing the application in
the user friendly way. The advanced technology like digital machines, equipments helps to
develop their production strategy in the appropriate way. Langland can use advanced technology
for developing their plan in the lucrative manner.
M3
In order to bring the new mobile application in the market, the authority of Langland needs to
follow the tools like survey, interview for collecting data. It helps to know the perception of the
employees in the appropriate way. In order to develop strategy of the business related to
production, the techniques like observation, face to face discussion can be followed. As
mentioned by Turban et al. (2017, p.15), many a times, it has been noticed that the employees
are not able to run the application properly. Henceforth, proper training can reduce the above-
mentioned obstacles.
Task 4
LO4
P7 Reflection about the research
The appropriate project strategy like planning, developing, executing and many others can
introduce new features related to production in the venture. In case of Langland, as a consultant

manager, I try to observe the activity of the employees for bringing positive outcome. It is known
to all that, best performance of employees can earn huge profit for the venture. As the aim of
Langland is to expand their business using digital technology, I try to make research on the
market about the impact for using digital technology. It helps me to develop the plan in time of
preparing the software.
Different theories like organisational theory help to achieve the aim of venture. As organisational
theory reflects to arrange the organisational structure in the appropriate way, the employees of
Langland need to follow the instruction of higher authority for bringing effective outcome. As a
consultant manager, I try to arrange meeting, where the workers of enprise can share their
experience related to the development of the software. As Langland is an advertising company, it
is necessary for them to prepare the news in the attractive way. In order to make the news
attractive, I try to use different types of editing software for increasing the profit of venture.
As the motto of Langland is to expand their business, it is necessary to provide appropriate news
and best quality products for increasing profit in the competitive market. In order to develop the
performance, as a consultant manager, I try to arrange group meeting. Many a times, it has been
seen that, I am able to learn new things related to the task for the employees. Therefore, the
project helps to develop the skills of employees efficiently. For developing the growth of
venture, I try to build a cooperative atmosphere among the employees. The above-mentioned
techniques assist to bring improvement in the quality of products. Therefore, the authority of
Langland can achieve their aim and objectives for expanding their business using digital
technology.
M4
In order to manage the project, appropriate planning is necessary. In order to meet the objectives
of Langland, the higher authority can share their strategies related to the growth of venture with
their employees. Therefore, the project management procedure can bring success for the venture
in the appropriate way.
D2
According to Oldham and Da Silva (2015, p.9), if the organisation is able to build effective
communication system, they can develop the growth of the venture. On the contrary,
Mohammadyari and Singh (2015, p.24) stated that, if the organisation is able to maintain their

quality, they can earn success. Langland has followed the above-mentioned strategy for
expanding their business.
