THE BRIEF:
Develop a Business Strategy Report.
For the company you have chosen (and that was agreed by your seminar tutor), and using the
template provided, please complete:
– An Executive summary
– Your interpretation of the company’s strategic challenges and loss of competitive position
that led to the loss in market share. This should be based on a separate comprehensive
external and internal strategic analysis. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MUST PROVIDE QUOTES
FROM THE NEXIS DATABASE (IN ADDITIONING TO APPROPRIATE CITATIONS) TO PROVIDE
EVIDENCE FOR YOUR INTERPRETATION. FAILING TO DO SO, OR IF QUOTATIONS DO NOT
SUPPORT YOUR ARGUMENT, WILL LEAD TO A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN YOUR MARK AND
MOST LIKELY LEAD TO YOUR SUBMISSION NOT ACHIEVING A PASS MARK.
– Two alternative strategies to improve their competitive position and halt or reverse the loss
in market share (using your interpretation of their strategic challenges, opportunities and
threats).
– A critical evaluation of these alternative strategies and recommendation for the preferred
strategy.
– A plan for implementation of the recommended strategy, complete with GANTT chart for
the main activities and milestones.
– Appendices with a summary of your external and internal analysis.
Please note: it is expected that you will need to use resources such as Nexis, Mintel, ORBIS,
STATISTA, Company Accounts, etc to provide evidence for your argument.
