Week 7 Strategic Analysis Project Conclusions

Week 7 Strategic Analysis Project Conclusions

Q This week, we're going to draw some conclusions about the company you chose. For your company, identify the following: Time Sequence: This is nothing more than a detailed timeline for your goals. Therefore, make sure you are as precised as possible, for those of you whose goals are to happen within a year provide the timeline quarterly at the minimum. Also remember to provide successive measurements over time. For instance, "Q1(January-March): Roll out mobile application in major cities in the east coast. Begin test markets in the Midwest for the mobile application. Q2 (April-June): Increase of mobile sales by 50%. Complete roll out of the mobile app in the Midwest., etc." Again this is just an example. Pros/Cons: I would consolidate these two under the same section rather than have them in separate sections. But please make sure you label them correctly (don't make me guess). What are the Pros/Cons of the operation/goals as you begin to roll them out. You have probably already done this in your past assignments but try to provide more information with this assignment more detail or in-depth discussion. Explain to me why this is good or a challenge? Cost of reversibility: This section outlines the cost of reverting the process if it does not work out. What will it cost you to return to where you were before you started this process. For instance, if you invest in new machinery and you have to sell it for below the price you pay for it. Or if you invested in R&D or implementation, what risk in terms of cost of this operation? I know some of you may be worried about using "made up figures", but use the information you provided in Assignment 6 to guide you in doing this analysis. I am not concerned about whether the numbers are correct, but rather how you rationalize/explain and analyze the situation? Summary/Conclusion: Based on your research, what plan should you pursue, 1, 2 or all of them. Please explain your answer and provide context. Show me that you have really internalized this information and you are able to make a decision based on the totality of the circumstances/information you have gathered. In other words, is it a calculated risk? 52-Week High/Low: In the business world, investors usually do a 52-Week High/Low analysis looking at the highest and lowest price at which the stock trades in order to determine if there is a positive trend. For this assignment, I would like for you to look at what has your company traded in the past 52 weeks, determine the high and low price and decide whether you would sell, buy, or hold in anticipation of a value pay.
