Assignment: The purpose of this writing assignment is to apply Appendix 1. A. “Strategic Audit of a Corporation” to a current example: TESLA. You are encouraged to understand the totality of the assignment before you start any writing; once you have read and understood the Appendix, you are encouraged to do your work during the course of the semester. Do not leave it for the end. There is insufficient time to do so. You should start with understanding Chapter 1 and then review Appendix 1. A. Once you have that fundamental familiarization with the foundations of a Strategic Audit, you should begin to gather information, do research, organize your work, to successfully complete the assignment in 16 weeks. Resources: use the Internet, SEC, and any other company or public information. The TESLA YouTube videos, Tesla Daily (Links to an external site.), are particularly helpful in understanding certain aspects such as its strategy, mission, goals, marketing, among others. Be sure to credit all references so as not to risk plagiarism. Here is an example of a valuable infographic: range comparison for EVs (Links to an external site.) https://www.visualcapitalist.com/range-evs-major-highway-routes/?utm_source=Visual+Capitalist+Infographics+%28All%29&utm_campaign=cbdc95e470-Mailchimp_Sept_24_2021_SD&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_31b4d09e8a-cbdc95e470-44964614 Also, please know that past students have successfully used their Strategic Audit work to land internships and employment; you can do so to if you plan to do a quality work from the start. The Strategic Audit is found in Appendix 1. A, Pages 32 – 39. I have divided it into two writing assignments to balance your workload. Sections I – IV are due this week; Sections V – VIII are due at the end. The first writing assignment is to study Roman Numeral I-IV in Appendix 1. A, and apply to TESLA. The first paper should not exceed four pages, one inch margins, 11 point font size, your choice of font. The paper will be graded on how well you apply the Principles of a Strategic Audit to TESLA, how succinctly you write and communicate the critical points, how well you show your comprehensive understanding of the creativity and innovation used by Tesla. Use of graphics to make points will be rewarded. I am open to other forms of presentations and communications such as a video, but you must present me with your idea for my approval before you decide to do so.
