Strategic Management Project

You are expected to run a full analysis of a firm of your own choice. It is recommended that the firm be mid-size or larger, to enhance conducting the analysis. You will apply key concepts of the course in analyzing your firm, and come to conclusions about possible useful future directions for the firm. The concepts you are expected to apply in your projects include:

-          External analysis

-          Internal analysis

-          Business-level strategy, corporate level strategy, or both (whichever applicable)

-          Control & Governance

-          Organizational Design

-          Leadership (this will be a bonus section)

 

Teams

Projects will be done in groups of four. Group members are responsible of distributing duties within the group between members.

Be advised that you can come for suggestions, feedbacks, or answer to any questions regarding the project during the semester.

 

Format and Length

Please submit your final project electronically in a word document. Use Times New Roman size 12 as your font, double spaced, and allow one-inch margins across your pages.

The final report should be no less than 5000 words, excluding all shapes and figures. You are allowed to include as much as tables and shapes in the appendix section.
