Too Tired? Too Anxious? Need More Time? We’ve got your back.
There are four different types of organisations listed below. You must choose ONE (and only one) of these as the basis for your assignment.
Each organisation type has the same task. You only need to answer for one of the organisation types, not two, three, or all four of them – just one.
You can decide which one you would prefer to answer.
Answer the questions in the context of the organisation you have chosen.
If you submit answers for more than one organisation type, we will only mark the first one and we will completely ignore any others.
Only answer for one type of organisation.

A company offering trips to orbit the Earth to wealthy individuals
A holiday company targeting 18-30-year-olds
An online mobile phone handset retailer
The company can be located wherever you want, but you must say where this is and base your research on that area.
