subject- Global operate strategyBuilding on the project proposal you developed earlier in the module (Nike\'s CSR strategy)you are required to submit an individual report of approximately 3,000 words, which can be based on an organization or idea of your own choice.

The word count includes the front page, executive summary and or abstract, contents page, introduction, main analysis, conclusions, recommendations, diagrams, tables, figures, and graphs; The word count does not include references, bibliography, and appendices.

Guidelines

There are several ways you might carry out this assignment: here are a few ideas:

• Use a theoretical model to reflect upon the reality (practice) of a situation. Use theory to predict the outcomes of practice. Use practice to reflect upon / modify theory.

• Compare theory and practice: Does M.E. Porters (1985) model of competition support the experience of practitioners? i.e. use a practical example /case / issue to reflect on Porters model(s) and examine success and / or failure.
• A case study approach: Is Satya Nadella, C.E.O. managing Microsoft as effective as he might? i.e. do an analysis of Microsofts performance in relation to declared (or undeclared) strategy and the efficacy of his strategy.
• A recovery plan: My advice to the Chief Executive Officer of the Toshiba Corporation is i.e. suggest a way forward for the organization considering their poor performance over recent years.
• A risk management strategy: My advice to Airbus for the imminent impact of leaving the European Union.

These are merely examples of approaches you might take; thinking up your own ideas might be more productive and fun.
