Situational Analysis

This paper will identify and describe Hershey’s company, what business it is in, and set out the marketing problem that needs to be solved and develop a marketing plan of your own to solve the problem.

This is a situational analysis. In thinking about the company what product or service needs a fresh look or can be redefined to generate interest again by the consumer – with the end goal of increasing sales volumes and subsequent revenue.

Or, perhaps there is a new product or service that would bring revenue to the company.
