Discuss the business environment and identify several Opportunities – Os and Threats – Ts (we expect 6 issues from business environment to be discussed in total each of which concluded as an O or a T).

/in /by

In this Strategic Report, high marks come from using strategic concepts and analysis from the module clearly applied to the organisation. Harvard referencing, a professional report style plus appropriate diagrams/tables are also required. Outline marking expectations are as follows:

Q1: (30%) External analysis.

Discuss the business environment and identify several Opportunities – Os and Threats – Ts (we expect 6 issues from business environment to be discussed in total each of which concluded as an O or a T). Please note that there is no need to address each factor (if for example there are no important legal or technological issues do not discuss these factors). Your task is to identify and discuss 6 most important issues in your opinion. Demonstrate how an issue is an Opportunity or a Threat.

 

Industry analysis (5 Forces) should be applied to assess industry attractiveness (each force should be discussed and assessed as High, Moderate or Low and industry attractiveness should be assessed having these forces in mind).

 

Please make sure that you use appropriately referenced data (charts, figures, quotes etc) to support your arguments. Also, note that this is an external analysis, so it is not about the firm but about issues in that industry (in context).

 

Q2: (30%) Internal analysis.

Identify and discuss organisation’s unique resources & distinctive capabilities (at least 6 Strengths and Weaknesses should be covered in total). Discuss resources (what a company has) and competences (activities) separately.

While addressing unique resources (physical – e.g. retail outlets, manufacturing facilities, products etc.; human – e.g. people and teams crucial for successful strategic development; intangible – e.g. brands, links to external stakeholders etc. and possibly financial) make sure that each is discussed separately and concluded as an S or a W.

While discussing distinctive competences construct Value Chain for the organisation and within list a number of specific and distinctive activities for your organisation. Demonstrate how unique capabilities link to competitive advantage (each distinctive competence from Value Chain should be “pushed” through VRIO to identify Core Competences for the organisation). Once you identify one (or two at most) core competence provide a discussion about these below Value Chain or VRIO (what is the activity and how does it contribute to firm’s competitive advantage). Note that all competences listed in value chain (and VRIO) should be company’s Strengths (Weaknesses could be discussed in a descriptive fashion separately). Again, use properly referenced data to support your arguments. This question is about the company (internal analysis).

 

Q3: (30%) Strategy Evaluation

Evaluate the given strategy – please see “Cases for the assignment” on Moodle) using the three SAFe tests:

Construct TOWS populating Os, Ts, Ss and Ws fully (all Os and Ts obtained from Q1, all Ss and Ws obtained from Q2). Place the strategy you are evaluating in one of the inner sections and try to associate it to one or more internal and one or more external items while addressing Suitability (e.g. if you place a strategy in S-O quadrant identify appropriate S or Ss combined with O or Os while contemplating this strategy).

Construct Power/Interest matrix with several relevant stakeholders, then choose two stakeholder groups that will be affected with the strategy and for each discuss if the strategy you are evaluating is acceptable or not and why.

While addressing Feasibility, comment on financial resources and skills required for implementation of the strategy being evaluated.

 

Note that it is a specific strategy that is evaluated!

 

PRESENTATION: (10%) We expect a professional report with clear report style (not an essay) e.g. front sheet, contents, clear sections, tables & diagrams and relevant Harvard referencing. The word count should not be exceeded by more than 10%.

ACS Assignment guidelines

Please provide only a short introduction to state the company, strategy and define the industry in context.

Q1. External analysis (not about company). PESTEL & 5 Forces  – approx. 1300 words

PESTEL: 6 most important issues to be identified, discussed and each concluded as an O or a T.

5 Forces: each force to be discussed and assessed as High, Moderate or Low. Having these forces in mind assess industry attractiveness.

Os and Ts from PESTEL (and 5 Forces – e.g. high rivalry) should be placed in TOWS in Q3.

Q2. Internal analysis (resources and competences) – approx 1000 words

Resources (what a company has) – descriptive approach. Approximately 5 resources (4 to 6) to be identified and discussed (each should be discussed in a separate paragraph and concluded as a Strength or a Weakness). Try to address human, physical and intangible resources (financial resources are important but you are not required to address these). Try to identify at least one Weakness.

Competences (what a company does). Two tables needed (Value Chain and VRIO). Approximately 5 activities (distinctive competences) to be placed in Value Chain and pushed through VRIO to identify one Core Competence.

One distinctive competence (ideally core competence) should be discussed in detail (explain the activity, state why it is good/special, provide evidence, provide your reasoning behind VRIO – why is this activity Valuable to customers, Rare and difficult to imitate; do not worry about O, just assume that all activities have organisational support) in the main body. You can discuss another distinctive competence in the appendix. Each distinctive competence is a Strength, so (assuming that you identified and discussed 5 resources – 4 Ss and 1 W) in total you should have 5Ss (competences) + 4Ss (resources) + 1W (resources).

The above Ss and Ws should be placed in TOWS in Q3.

Note that in Q2 you should discuss resources and competences of the main company (acquirer) without the target. The target company should not be discussed at all.

Q3. Evaluation – approx. 700 – 1000 words. (S: 150; A: 500; F: 150).

It is the specific strategy that should be evaluated! Strategy was given with the company (it depends on the company you chose for your assignment). This is where you may mention the target company (this is not a requirement). You are not required to carry out internal analysis for the target company (you will go over your word limit and might sacrifice quality for quantity).

Suitability (does the strategy make sense). Start with TOWS. Place the strategy you are evaluating in one of the inner 4 quadrants and try to link internal and external issues with it (e.g. if you placed a strategy in SO quadrant state what Ss you combine with what Os while considering the strategy.

Acceptability (is the strategy acceptable – to selected stakeholders). Identify a number of stakeholder groups (e.g. 5) and place them in a Power/Interest matrix. Then select 3 groups and for each discuss how will they be affected by the strategy you are evaluating and therefore is the strategy acceptable to them or not.

Feasibility (can the strategy be implemented). Discuss skills and financial resources that may be required (and how did/will the company obtain these).

General guidelines

No need for conclusions (Os, Ts, forces, industry attractiveness are conclusions from Q1, Ss and Ws from resources and competences including core competences are conclusions from Q2 and SAFe – is the strategy suitable, acceptable and feasible is the conclusion for Q3).

Please do not discuss theory and models, it is all about your application.

Do not provide many pages of references (bibliography) – one is enough. It is more important to provide in-text references for figures, charts, quotes you have used in support of your arguments.

Total word count should not exceed 3300 (3000 + 10%) and you should not have more than 6 pages of appendices.

 

Good luck!
