Benchmark - Executive Summary |
|
The
purpose of this assignment is to summarize two strategic alternatives for your
selected corporation based on individual research and team analyses.
Assume
that you work as an analyst team lead at the company you have been studying
throughout this course, and you are issuing a high-level communication to
company CEO that summarizes your analysis. Based on what you have discovered
regarding environmental scan issues, financial analysis issues, industry
trends, etc., communicate a plan for implementing two strategic alternatives in
an executive summary of 750-1,000 words.
Include
the following in your response:
1. Based on
your work this semester, synthesize and present key analytical findings about
where the company is exceling and how or where it can improve. Refer to both
your CLC and individual analysis in your summary.
2. Propose
two creative yet viable corporate-level strategic alternatives. Critique the
pros and cons of each alternative utilizing your analytical findings.
3. Select
and defend the pursuit of one of your two viable alternatives. How does this
alternative align with the firm's mission, vision, and values? How can
management employ this alternative to create competitive advantage for the
firm? Suggest next steps.
4. Based on
your analysis, identify a business unit or activity within the corporation that
you would suggest defunding in order to finance your strategic alternative, or
provide an alternate funding source. Defend your selection.
5. Given
your overall proposal, how do you suggest the company promote its culture,
vision, and mission to maximize its chances for success in the industry? How
might the company develop its servant leaders to endorse and exemplify tenets
of the Christian worldview (CWV) in the workplace? Propose and defend at least
one significant leadership initiative.
