Description
Experience Level: Expert
Number of emails: 1
Words per email: 300 max
Information for the business: The retail stores sell sporting clothing and equipment, and outdoor gear (similar to Rebel Sport, Kathmandu, Bivouac, etc).
Industry: Sports and Fitness
Topic: expansion
Tone: Formal/Professional
Outline & Structure: We need a 1-2 paragraph article that is to be used in a critical reasoning assessment (like GRE) therefore we need to have many points covered in the article, some of which may seem counter to one-another. It will be up to the test-taker to extract the relevant information and draw conclusions, and this complexity is necessary so that we’re able to create ~15 questions related to each article.
-----------------------------------------
This article will be presented as an email from a senior manager, to their subordinate. The email will concern an expansion program which is already underway, opening retail stores in new locations. The recipient of the email will be responsible for choosing a location for the new store, and project-managing the build. But this email is just an initial overview, with the recipient and the senior manager having informally discussed the project already. Tie bullet-pointed instructions together into a cohesive narrative
-----------------------------------------
Section 1: Background information
*Objectives of expansion program
*Bullet points covering:
*Progress of expansion so far
*Successes and challenges
Section 2: Details on potential new locations
*A sentence like “The next store in the expansion will probably be at one of these locations but I’d like to discuss this with you more” (as a sort of introduction)
*Several bullet points, one per possible location. Each bullet should include important details about the location, including (but not limited to):
*demographic and socio-economic make-up of the local community
*nearby stores which might be competitors or provide a complementary service
*geographic points of interest (which might generate demand for certain items, attract tourists, etc)
*Proximity to logistics channels (airports, train tracks, ports, distribution centers/depots, etc)
*The bullets shouldn’t all include the same details – it should look like a ‘quick summary’ email, with the fully detailed documents expected in some future discussion.
*No location should seem perfect/an obvious choice, but some should seem better than others
