Assignment activity and guidance
Completion of the project will involve a PESTLE analysis to research the sports retail market,
develop insights and predict future growth potential in new markets. The project will also involve a
SWOT analysis to determine the company position in the marketplace and the potential
opportunities for distribution expansion while minimising risks and threats.
Your presentation will include the findings from an external and an internal audit:
• a PESTLE analysis to identify positive and negative impacts of external factors and
influences on the sports retail market, including a ‘traffic light chart’ evaluating level of
competition, funding activity, legal complexity and investment opportunity available
• a SWOT analysis to explore and explain the organisation’s internal strengths and
weaknesses as a company
• critical analysis of both the external and internal factors, to determine whether the
organisation should proceed with their expansion plans, presented as conclusions and
recommendations.
