Read the 1-888-Junk-Van case (in your Harvard Course Pack)

Analyze Junk Van's current business strategy and competitive landscape. In your analysis make sure you apply Michael Porter's models. Propose any necessary modifications to it in order to drive profitable growth over the next 3 years. Then identify the top requirements needed in a new system to execute the targeted business strategy. Select the best technology solution (out of the 5) to meet those requirements and justify why your selection is better than each of the other solutions.

Here are some questions you need to address:

• Where does Junk Van sit in the waste disposal industry? What are the competitive forces at work?
• What is Junk Van's competitive advantage (Value Chain) that they should leverage?
• What should Junk Van's Generic Strategy look like?
• What are the top 3 functional requirments Junk Van needs in a new IT system to suppor their business strategy?

This should be written as a professional report to Junk Van's CEO and board of director's on how they should strategically "go forward".

Your report should not exceed 5 double spaced pages, with 12 point font (this page limit does not include the cover sheet, table of contents, or references - only the body of the report). All sources (including Web sites) must be appropriately cited (APA or MLA format). You do not need to cite the case. The report should be free of all grammar and spelling errors.
