-       They are from an industry where there is a good amount of market data available (e.g. there are reports accessible via places such as MINTELetc.);

-       Their product offering can be broken down into various categories;

-       You may have some personal experience of this product category (if not, try and visit one of their stores).

We suggest engaging in further research on the case company online at the earliest opportunity.

You will be requiredto focus your work on a specific target market who may shop at Currys PC World and a specific product category within their wider offering. Please note that you cannot select mobile phones and associated accessories as your chosen product category (as these are largely provided by Carphone Warehouse concessions in store and online).
