To start off, let’s explain the uploaded attachments. There are 3 main ones you need to see: “Grading-Rubric” to know how the assignment will be graded; “Example-Assignment-Business Strategy-Analysis” to see how the assignment should roughly look like (you must choose different companies, not the ones in the assignment); “All-Tools-Citations” to know how to cite in the assignment the tools you will choose from (you will only choose 2 tools per company – the assignment will be about 3 companies, so you will choose only 6 tools total out of the 21 available tools); the rest of the uploaded attachments (Tool 1 through Tool 21) are the possible tools you can choose from for the assignment (you will choose a total of 6, meaning 2 different ones for each company). Now to explain the assignment: As mentioned, you will choose 3 companies for the assignment and 6 of the tools, 2 for each company. The 3 companies should be 3 well-known companies, preferably American companies. The assignment itself must be a minimum of 10 double-spaced pages of text, but can be more. Plus APA citations/references/sources. Add any sources of use to the citations. If you are going to cite the text about the tools, then see the “All-Tools-Citations” attachment on how to cite the tools as a source. This is the official description of the assignment: “The purpose of this assignment is to increase students’ ability to analyze business strategies of organizations. Business strategy focuses on the strategy of individual businesses. Strategic analysis is critical for analyzing the competitive context in which an organization operates and for making reasoned and reasonable recommendations for how that organization should position itself and what actions it should take to maximize value creation. Actions taken by firms to improve competitive position engender responses by other firms, and the expected sequence of actions and responses must be understood to develop an effective strategy. This assignment presupposes a working knowledge of business strategy and analytical techniques and quantitative tools. In short, three companies in three different industries. Use two models/tools per each. Use a variety of models/tools.”
