Business Management practice: Use market research and marketing mix evidence in decisions

Perth coffee roaster Red Gum Beans is reviewing marketing before deciding whether to automate part of packaging. The case gives cafe buyers threatening to switch suppliers after delays and late wholesale orders, staff injury reports, and a bank-loan offer. Choose the route that connects market research to the marketing mix. Select the marketing focus, market data, marketing mix, and marketing evaluation. Then justify the decision in your own words using the business stimulus, tool, stakeholder impact, and evaluation criterion. AI will analyse your reasoning, case evidence, business toolkit use, recommendation quality, and expression.

Worked practice: build the response

Work through the business response: concept focus, supporting evidence, the decision, then a reasoned judgement.
