Assignment Guidance and Front Sheet

This front sheet for assignments is designed to contain the brief, the submission instructions, and the actual student submission for any WMG assignment. As a result the sheet is completed by several people over time, and is therefore split up into sections explaining who completes what information and when. Yellow highlighted text indicates examples or further explanation of what is requested, and the highlight and instructions should be removed as you populate ‘your’ section.

Assessment brief

You have been appointed as an e-commerce consultant for a medium sized seller of Educational software. The company currently sells their products to online consumers throughout Europe.

Your task is to develop an e-commerce strategy for this company to help them to continue to develop their online sales. They have a budget of approximately £80,000 for the new e commerce website. Their current website is managed in WordPress and uses basic WooCommerce functionality, however substantially increased customer demand has encouraged them to find a more advanced e-commerce strategy and solution.

The Managing Director needs your help in identifying and justifying the most suitable solutions for the company.

Your strategy must provide, in business report format:

1. A critical evaluation and recommendation of the most appropriate hosting, e-commerce platform (e.g. CMS tools) and overall e-Commerce system.
2. An overview of the key website functionality required and how it will enhance customer experience and lead to conversions.
3. A critical assessment of the payment and shipping options for the retailer.
4. Details of how the new website will be integrated with the overall enterprise business architecture.
5. A high-level plan that outlines costs, resources and timings of your strategy activities, and other key aspects of the implementation.

Your strategy must highlight why you have made particular suggestions and what the benefits are to the company. You are encouraged to highlight any potential risks or limitations of your recommendations that derive from your assumptions about the company.

Make as many assumptions about the company as you like to build a full picture of its activities. Remember to state clearly what your assumptions are.

References from both academic and commercial sources should be included.
