segmentation profile, you are required to individually reflect on how you would conclude that
plan, relative to selected key issues from the SWOT by analyzing it, on the basis of marketing
objectives for that setting, deciding on which markets to target based on the segmentation
analysis conducted as part of the external analysis, how to position the product/company, and
an outlining overall approach to an appropriate new marketing mix.
