Assessment Purpose:
The purpose of this assessment is to identify and explain an issue in business strategy management and offer solutions/recommendations. For explaining the issue in business strategy management, you will need some data/information. You can investigate a real-life case from an organization. But you need to discuss it and select and collect data from the organization. We will not assign you to an organization. You must discuss your choice of company with your lecturer by providing a verbal or written rationale for choosing a particular company. Plagiarized assignments will not be tolerated.
However, if you feel it would be difficult to collect data/information from a real organization, you can collect data/information from secondary sources online, company's annual reports or related business strategy management articles and news.
You need to consider a single but significant issue. Don't consider multiple issues as it will degrade the quality of work. You need to consider yourself being a consultant helping with the issue. We are looking for creative solutions proposed by groups
Examples of issues could be:
Strategic change
Strategy and organization planning
Collaborating to compete
Competitive forces shape strategy
Emerging technology and strategy
Strategic positioning
