1. Pick a for-profit business of your choice. Large, public firms are easier to research.
2. Conduct research on your firm. I expect you to find and cite valid sources (not just Wikipedia or random websites, but valid news sources and corporate pages). Financial statements, market share, sales numbers, etc… are very useful. The research should give a fairly complete picture of the current state of the firm and their competitive environment. Note: there need not be a significant introduction/history of the firm section. Research is supporting material that appears throughout the following sections. (10%)
3. Identify the strengths and core competencies (internal) and opportunities (external) for the firm. (15%)
4. Identify major problems facing the firm. Problems may be internal (weaknesses) or external (threats). Be sure to diagnose the source of the problem(s), and differentiate it from the symptoms resulting from the problem. (25%)
5. Elicit a list of various strategic-level competitive moves the firm could activate to capitalize on strengths/opportunities, potentially resolve problems, and pursue long-term growth and success. To do so, you should use models or frameworks that we have talked about throughout the semester. These may include the five forces model, value chain, growth frameworks, BCG matrix, etc… (25%)
6. Argue in favor of which strategic moves you believe the company should make. Do not simply suggest the firm engage in all the moves you listed in step 5. (10%)
7. Consider the stakeholders that will be impacted by the strategic moves you recommend. Explain which stakeholders might be positively or negatively impacted. (5%)
8. Explain how the firm will need to change/adapt as necessary to implement the move(s) you suggested in step 6 and in relation to stakeholder concerns identified in step 7. (10%)
The paper will be 2000 words minimum. The paper should be single-spaced, 12 point Times New Roman font, with 1 inch margins. The paper needs to be organized and free from grammatical errors/typos/formatting problems. Properly cite sources using the APA 6th edition for in text citations and include a works cited page.
Firm choices are first come, first serve, so that no two people are working on the same company.
Note: There should be clearly labeled subsections which fully address the components of the project. If you do not provide a written description of a component or cover it in your presentation, my only option is to give a 0 for that part of the grade.
