Group Case Analysis -
Complete a case analysis of ABC Company (your instructor will assign the specific company for the case analysis at the beginning of this module/week) in the case section of the text.
The company that you're doing it for is Tesla.
A formal, in-depth case analysis requires you to utilize the entire strategic-management process. Assume your group is a consulting team asked by ABC Company to analyze its external/internal environment and make strategic recommendations. You will be required to make exhibits to support your analysis and recommendations. The case analysis must encompass 10-12 pages plus the exhibits, cover page, and reference page. The cover page must include the company name, your group name, and the date of submission.
The completed case must include:
- Executive summary;
- Existing mission, objectives, and strategies;
- A new mission statement;
- SWOT (TOWS) analysis;
- Competitive Profile Matrix;
- EFE Matrix;
- IFE Matrix;
- A list of alternative strategies, giving advantages and disadvantages for each; and
- A recommendation of specific strategies and long-term objectives.
Have your group leader place the results of the case analysis in a single document and post it to the Group Case Analysis 1 forum of your Group Discussion Board Forum.
