Assignment title: Information
In this project, you are required to select a topic which is relevant to current green marketing related issues. This means that you may select a particular product, product class, service, and/or organisation which has implemented and marketed some "green" innovation/s. It should be something that you are personally interested in. Note: This is not to be a literature review on the current state of the environment. 2600 words maximum The Green Issues Report includes your review of a variety of scholarly literature and other high quality information sources including academic literature, business press, websites, etc. relevant to your topic (i.e. a literature review). You may also include in your research any unobtrusive observations pertaining to your topic that you have made personally to illustrate your points. Please note that you must not interview anyone or take any photographs as you do not have University ethical clearance for this. It is essential that your critical analysis of the literature is well developed and supported by clearly reasoned arguments. Your unobtrusive observations should also be analysed in the context of the literature review. In your overall analysis you will need to reflect on and discuss all the findings and the implications for best practice green marketing. You should also reflect on some possible recommendations for the practice of green marketing together with a justification for these. In addition, in your report you are expected to be able to draw appropriate, logical, and well explained conclusions from your overall understanding of the issue.
