•Guidance Notes

•Focus on a brand in a particular market e.g. Both Emirates and McDonalds operate in many markets so focusing on all of their brands and markets is impossible.

•The best marks are normally achieved by students who focus on a single brand in a single market (UAE market) as this allows more depth and explanation in their answer.

•Reference your work carefully see Coventry University guide at http://www.coventry.ac.uk/Global/03%20Study%20section%20assets/Academic%20Support/CAW/Sept%2013_%20Harvard%20Guide%20v3%200%202.pdf

•References are required for all questions. However, these do not need to be lengthy. Do not attempt to impress the examiner by citing a long list of references that you have not used.

•You only need to use secondary sources, you are not expected to conduct primary research.

•The total coursework length is expected to be 3,000 words (plus or minus 10%). Avoid going substantially over this limit as you will be penalised in your mark.
