WEEK 5- MARKET ANALYSIS

Market analysis has been another essential element highlighted in this module. Two areas of analysis components namely SWOT and PESTLE have been explained in the lecture. SWOT analysis has been familiar for me as it was carried few times in previous academic session. The new thing I learnt is PESTLE analysis. However, after attending the lecture, I’ve realised SWOT and PESTEL analyses are essential in feasibility studies stage for any development but there was only a brief understanding as I’ve not attempt to assess the development information with both SWOT and PESTLE analyses.


In the seminar, group discussion has been conducted and I was given a chance to discuss the PEST considerations for our development. This activity is challenging and exciting as I didn’t have any idea on how to elaborate for each factor. I’m more confident in elaborating SWOT analysis. However, I’ve consulted the lecturer and searched information online to assist me in understanding the PEST analysis clearer. I also compare course mates’ elaborated points for PESTLE analysis to ensure my understanding.  


After the lesson, I’ve done some reflective thinking. The reason causing me to have lack understanding in marketing appraisal technique is insufficient practical experience. Now, I’ve improved my knowledge in market appraisal technique and will apply appropriately in my module coursework to analysis my development’s viability.
