Strategic Analysis Tools: SWOT, PEST, Porter's Five Forces For this assignment, you are challenged to assess a real-word company using one of the strategic analysis tools discussed in class. Imagine that you are a member of an upper or middle management team who has been tasked with preparing an analytical report of your company to share with your board of directors and/or your company shareholders. FOLLOW THE PROVIDED FORMAT BELOW. A successfully completed report will consist of five parts: 2. A one-page analysis of the company using the SWOT matrix/ PEST /Porter's Five Forces(One page for each analytical tool). The analysis should be detailed and precise, making specific references to actual facts, figures, and data as they relate to your chosen company, its industry, and its competitors. A short analysis can be more difficult than a lengthy one because it requires you to make meaningful points rather than write 'filler'. The information in your analysis should be insightful and developed beyond "common sense" points. 3. A one-page analysis of the company's key products. While the company may not necessarily have products that fit into all four categories, you should thoroughly examine a minimum of four goods/services and classify them according to their market scope and the source of their competitive advantage. Professional judgment can be combined with research to answer this question. 4. An interpretation of the analysis written in the role of an upper or middle manager. Consider the following: a. What does the analysis mean for your business? How well is your company currently set up to face challenges, become a market leader, take advantage of new opportunities, grow, etc.? b. What kind of plan could you create to capitalize on the results of your analysis? In light of your analysis, what might a strategic plan (or tactical or operational if you deem fit) look like? c. How well does your company's mission statement and vision align with the result of the analysis? Are any adjustments to these components needed? 6. Remember that a level 4 assignment exceeds expectations. Diagrams, charts, infographics, and other visual representations of data are optional but can go a long way in enhancing your report. These elements would be counted in addition to the page limits noted above.
