2.    Conduct comprehensive situational analyses relevant to the problems, including internal analyses of a
       company’s strengths and weaknesses and external analysis of its environmental threats and
       opportunities;
3.    Formulate and evaluate appropriate courses of action to solve the problems;
4.    Forward specific recommendations with regard to marketing objectives, strategies, plans, budgets and
       time horizon for implementation of these recommendations;
5.    Substantiate their positions with pertinent qualitative and quantitative analyses; and
6.    Prepare and present appropriate marketing case reports.
