Strategic Management and Strategic Competitiveness
Overview
Choose one public corporation in an industry with which you
are familiar. Research the company on its own website, the
public filings on the Securities and Exchange
Commission EDGAR database, the University's online
databases, the Nexis Uni database, and any other sources you
can find. The annual report will often provide insights that can
help address some of these questions.
Requirements
Write a four-page paper in which you do the following:
· Assess how globalization and technology changes have
impacted the corporation you researched.
· Apply the industrial organization model and the resource-
based model to determine how your corporation could earn
above-average returns.
· Assess how the vision statement and mission statement of the
corporation influence its overall success.
· Evaluate how each category of stakeholder impacts the overall
success of this corporation.
· Go to Basic Search: Strayer University Online Library and
locate at least three quality references. Note: Wikipedia and
similar Websites do not quality as academic resources.

Credit to Authors and Sources
Option #1: Paraphrasing
Rewording Source Information in Your Own Words
· Rephrase source information in your own words. Avoid
repeating the same words of the author.
· Remember, you cannot just replace words from the
original sentence.
· Add the author’s last name and a number to the end of
your paraphrase as a citation (which will be the same on
your Source List).
ORIGINAL SOURCE
“Writing at a college level requires informed
research.”
PARAPHRASING
As Harvey wrote, when writing a paper for higher
education, it is critical to research and cite
sources (1).
When writing a paper for higher education, it is
imperative to research and cite sources (Harvey, 1).
Option #2: Quoting
Citing Another Person’s Work Word-for-Word
· Place quotation marks at the beginning and end of
quoted information.
· Limit quotes to two or fewer sentences (approximately 25
words) at a time.
· Do not start a sentence with a quotation.
· Introduce and explain quotes within the context of your
paper.
· Add the author’s last name and a number to the end of
the quote as a citation (which will be the same on your
Source List).
ORIGINAL SOURCE
“Writing at a college level requires informed
research.”
QUOTING
Harvey wrote in his book, “Writing at a college level
requires informed research” (1).
Many authors agree, “Writing at a college level
requires informed research” (Harvey, 1).
Use these rules for using evidence and creating in-text citations!
General Credit
· Credit quoted or paraphrased sources using an in-text
citation. An in-text citation includes the primary author’s last
name
and the number of the source from the Source List.
· Before using any source, first determine its credibility. Then
decide if the source is appropriate and relevant for your
project. Find tips here.
· Well-researched assignments have at least as many sources as
pages (see assignment instructions).

Strayer University Writing Standards 7
Web sources are accessed through an internet browser.
Home Pages
A home page loads when typing a standard web address. For
instance, typing Google.com into any web browser will take
you to Google’s home page.
Cite a homepage when using information from a news thread,
image, or basic piece of information on a company’s website.
Find Tips Here.
Specific Web Pages
If using any web page other than the home page, include the
specific page title and direct link (when possible) in the Source
List entry.
If the assignment used multiple web pages from the same
source, create separate Source List entries (if the title and/or
web
address is different).
Effective Internet Links
When sharing a link to an article with your instructor and
classmates, start with a brief summary of the article and why
you chose to
share it.
Share vs. URL Options
Cutting and pasting the URL (web address) from your browser
may not allow others to view your source. This makes it hard
for
people to engage with the content you used.
To avoid this problem, look for a “share” option and choose that
when possible. Always test your link(s) before submitting.
If you cannot properly share the link, include the article/source
as an attachment. Interested classmates and your professor can
reference the article shared as an attachment. Find tips here.
Credit for Web Sources
Charts, images, and tables should be centered horizontally on
the page and should be followed by an in-text citation. Design
your page and place a citation below the chart, image, or table.
When referring to the chart, image, or table in the body of the
assignment, use the citation.
Do not include a chart, image, or table without introducing it in
the assignment and explaining why it is necessary.
On your Source List, provide the following details of the visual:
· Author’s name (if created by you, provide your name).
· Date (if created by you, provide the year).
· Type (Chart, Image, or Table).
· How to find it (link or other information; see Source List
section for additional details).

Strayer University Writing Standards 8
Traditional Sources
Page Numbers
When referencing multiple pages in a textbook or other
print book, consider adding page numbers to help the
audience understand where the information is found. You
can do this in three ways:
a. by including it in the body of your assignment; or
or b. by using an in-text citation;
or c. by listing page numbers in the order used in your
assignment on the Source List.
Check with your instructor or the assignment guidelines to
see if there is a preference based on your course.
IN-TEXT CITATION
(Harvey, 1, p. 16)
In the example, the author is Harvey, the source list number
is 1, and the page number where this information can be
found is page 16.
Multiple Sources (Synthesizing)
Synthesizing is the use of multiple sources in one
paraphrased sentence or paragraph to make a strong point.
While this is normally done in advanced writing, it could be
useful for any writing where you use more than one source.
Find tips here.
The key is clarity. If you paraphrase multiple sources
in the same sentence (or paragraph if most of the
information contained in the paragraph is paraphrased),
you should include each source in the citation. Separate
sources using semi-colons (;) and create the citation in
the normal style that you would for using only one source
(Name, Source Number).
SYNTHESIZED IN-TEXT CITATION
(Harvey, 1; Buchanan, 2)
In the example, the authors Harvey and Buchanan were
paraphrased to help the student make a strong point.
Harvey is the first source on the Source List, and Buchanan
is the second source on the Source List.
Advanced Methods
Some assignments require more advanced techniques. If
necessary, these guidelines help with special
case scenarios.

Strayer University Writing Standards 9
Substitution and Ellipsis
Omitting unnecessary information from a direct quotation
is often required. To omit information, delete the
unnecessary information and replace it with an ellipsis
inside of square brackets, like this: […]. Find tips here.
There are times when a quality source has made a mistake,
but you still value the information that the source provides.
To solve this issue, change elements of the source (noting
what additions or changes were required). When changing
elements within a direct quotation, delete the original
information and surround the new wording or spelling with
square brackets, like this: “[W]riting”.
The bracket here shows that the original source may have
misspelled “writing” or that the “W” has been capitalized
and was lowercase in the source material.
NOTE: Ellipsis and square brackets cannot be used in
paraphrased source material.
ORIGINAL SOURCE
“Writing at a college level requires informed
research.”
ELLIPSIS
Harvey wrote that writing “at a college level
requires […] research” (1).
SUBSTITUTION
Many authors agree that “[w]riting at an [under-
graduate] college level requires informed re-
search” (1).
Footnotes and Additional Content
Written assignments may benefit from including relevant
background information that is not necessarily important
for the main body of the assignment.
To include extra secondary evidence or authorial
commentary, insert a numeral superscript into the text of
the assignment and add the extra evidence or commentary
in the footer of the page as a footnote. (Note: Microsoft
Word’s “Insert Footnote” function is the preferred method.)
When writing a paper for higher education,4 it is
imperative to research and cite sources (Harvey,
1). This suggestion applies to both undergraduate
and graduate students, and it is the first thing that
beginning students must internalize.
4 Mathews has pointed out that this suggestion is
appropriate for all levels of education, even those outside
of university, and is in fact best practices for any form
of professional writing (2). However, this paper focuses
specifically on writing in college-level education.
Appendices
An assignment may require an appendix following the Source
List. The appendix is meant to declutter the assignment body
or provide relevant supplemental information for the audience.
If there is only one appendix, it is labeled, Appendix. More than
one appendix may be required. Label the first appendix
Appendix A, the second Appendix B, and so on. Each chart,
graphic, or photograph referred to in the body of the
assignment requires its own listing in the appendices.
Use descriptive labels in the body of your written assignment to
link each chart, graphic, or photograph to its place in the
appendices. For example, when referring to a chart found in
Appendix B, a student would include (see Appendix B, Cost of
Tuition in Secondary Education, 2010-2019) after referring to
data drawn from that chart.

Source List
The Source List includes all sources used in your assignment. It
is a new page added at the end of your
assignment. The list gives credit to authors whose work
supported your own and should provide enough
information so that others can find the source(s) without your
help.
Build your Source List as you write.
� Type “Sources” at the top of a new page.
� Include a numbered list of the sources you used in your
paper (the numbers indicate the
order in which you used them).
1. Use the number one (1) for the first source used in the paper,
the number two (2) for
the second source, and so on.
2. Use the same number for a source if you use it multiple
times.
� Ensure each source includes five parts: author or
organization, publication date, title,
page number (if needed), and how to find it. If you have trouble
finding these details, then
re-evaluate the credibility of your source.
� Use the browser link for a public webpage.
� Use a permalink for a webpage when possible. Find tips
here.
� Instruct your readers on how to find all sources that do not
have a browser link or a
permalink.
� Separate each Source List element with a period on your
Source List.
AUTHOR PUBLICATION DATE TITLE PAGE NO. HOW TO
FIND
The person(s) who
published the source. This
can be a single person,
a group of people, or an
organization. If the source
has no author, use “No
author” where you would
list the author.
The date the source was
published. If the source
has no publication date,
use “No date” where you
would list the date.
The title of the
source. If the
source has no title,
use “No title”
where you would
list the title.
The page
number(s) used. If
the source has no
page numbers,
omit this section
from your Source
List Entry.
Instruct readers how to find
all sources. Keep explanations
simple and concise, but
provide enough information
so the source can be located.
Note: It is your responsibility
to make sure the source can
be found.

In the case of multiple
authors, only list the first.

Week 3 Assignment 1
Write your introduction here. Include one (1) paragraph (not
more than 6 lines of text) that explains what your paper will
discuss. Much of your introduction may be taken from the
assignment instructions (in your own words). Read all
assignment resources to understand what should be included in

Thoroughly assess how globalization has impacted the public
corporation you researched. Provide a thoughtful and well
researched response. Consider for example, how your chosen
company has been involved in expanding globally, how it has
been impacted by global competition, and the global economy.
Do not simply define the term globalization. If your company
has locations in other countries, do not just state that your
corporation has locations in other countries or simply list the
various countries in which the company does business. You
need to assess the impact globalization has had on your selected
corporation.
Your assessment should demonstrate that you have read,
understand, and can apply the globalization concepts covered in
the textbook and course resources. You must consider the
various aspects of globalization discussed in the course and
make judgments about their impacts to your selected
corporation. Do not write about globalization in general terms.
Your assessment should be directly related to your selected
corporation. Your writing here should thoroughly assess how
globalization has impacted your chosen corporation. Do not
Google “globalization”. You must display an understanding
based on what is studied in this course and demonstrate an
ability to apply the concepts in a real-world assessment of a
corporation. Your textbook must be a source along with other
credible sources that support the globalization concepts covered
in this course. Read chapters 1-3 in the course textbook as each
chapter provides a solid background on Globalization that
applies to this section. Review the Week 1 & 2 Learn video
Lectures for supporting content. Properly cite your sources and
avoid the use of direct quotes. After reading these instructions,
replace this blue text with your assessment and change the font
color to black.Technology
Thoroughly assess how technological changes have impacted
the public corporation you researched. Provide a thoughtful and
well researched response. Consider for example, how the
company has been impacted by cloud computing, social media,
crowdfunding, program apps, email, texting, websites, mobile,
automation, robotics, IOT (Internet of Things), AI (Artificial
Intelligence), e-commerce, data and analytics, etc. Research
how the company may have been impacted by diffusion and
disruptive technologies as explained in the textbook. Do not
simply define the term technology. You will need to assess the
impact changes in technology have had on your selected
corporation.
Your assessment should demonstrate that you have read,
understand, and can apply the technology concepts covered in
the textbook and course resources. You must consider the
various aspects of technological changes discussed in the course
and make judgments about their impacts to your selected
corporation. Do not write about technology in general terms.
Your assessment should be directly related to your selected
public corporation. If your company is technologically
advanced, do not simply list the various technologies they
possess but rather assess how changes in technology have
impacted the corporation. You must display an understanding
based on what is studied in this course and demonstrate an
ability to apply the concepts in a real-world assessment of a
corporation. Do not Google “technology”. Your writing here
should thoroughly assess how changes in technology have
impacted your chosen corporation.
Your textbook must be a source along with other credible
sources that support the technology concepts covered in this
course. You must display an understanding based on what is
studied in this course. Read chapters 1-3 in the course textbook
as each chapter provides a solid background on Technology that
applies to this section. Review the Week 1 & 2 Learn video

this blue text with your assessment and change the font color to
black.Industrial Organization Model
Thoroughly apply the industrial organization model to
determine how your corporation could earn above-average
returns (i.e. revenue). This model is based upon the
corporation’s external environment which is anything outside of
the corporation that can influence or impact its business
(macro)/operations (micro). Your application should walk
through the components the model suggests are needed to earn
above average returns. Hint: see Figure 1.2 in the textbook. Do
not Google “Industrial Organization Model” or simply provide a
definition or write in general terms. Your writing here should
apply the components of the model, as described in the course
material, to your specific corporation, demonstrate your
understanding of the concepts, as described in this course, and
demonstrate your ability to apply those concepts to a real-world
corporation. Read chapter 1 in the course textbook as it
provides a solid background on this model.Review the Week 1

instructions, replace this blue text with your application and
change the font color to black.Resource-Based Model
Thoroughly apply the resource-based model to determine how
your corporation could earn above-average returns (i.e.
revenue). Consider the corporation’s unique resources
(corporate culture, land, location, equipment, brand, reputation,
trademarks, patents, etc.) and capabilities (skills, experience,
etc.) that set it apart from its competition. Your application
should walk through the components the model suggests are
needed to earn superior returns. Hint: See Figure 1.3 in the
textbook. Do not Google “Resource-Based Model” or simply
provide a definition or write in general terms. Your writing here
should apply the components of the model, as described in the
course material, to your specific corporation, demonstrate your
understanding of the concepts, as described in this course, and
demonstrate your ability to apply those concepts to a real-world
corporation. Read chapter 1 in the course textbook as it
provides a solid background on this model. Review the Week 1
Learn video Lecture for supporting content. Cite your sources
and avoid the use of direct quotes. After reading these
instructions, replace this blue text with your application and
change the font color to black.Vision
Thoroughly assess how the vision statement of the corporation
influences its overall success. Include the actual vision
statement for your chosen company (be sure to quote and cite
your source). Consider the key concepts discussed in chapter 1
regarding vision in your assessment of your selected
corporation’s vision statement. Do not simply provide a
definition of vision or make general statements. Do not simply
copy and paste the vision statement. In addition to the actual
vision statement for your corporation, your writing must
demonstrate that you understand the concept of vision, as
discussed in this course, and can assess the impact your
corporation’s vision statement has on its overall success. You
must consider the various aspects of vision statements discussed
in the course and make judgments about their impacts to your
selected corporation. The assessment is critical to this
assignment requirement. Without an assessment you have not
met the requirements. Read chapter 1 in the course textbook as
it provides a solid background on vision. Review the Week 1

After reading these instructions, replace this blue text with your
assessment and change the font color to black.Mission
Thoroughly assess how the mission statement of the corporation
influences its overall success. Include the actual mission
statement for your chosen company (be sure to quote and cite
your source). Consider the key concepts discussed in chapter 1
regarding mission in your assessment of your selected
corporation’s mission statement. Do not simply provide a
definition of mission or make general statements. Do not simply
copy and paste the mission statement. In addition to the actual
mission statement of your selected corporation, your writing
must demonstrate that you understand the concept of mission, as
discussed in this course, and can assess the impact your
corporation’s mission statement has on its overall success. You
must consider the various aspects of mission statements
discussed in the course and make judgments about their impacts
to your selected corporation. The assessment is critical to this
assignment requirement. Without an assessment you have not
met the requirements. Read chapter 1 in the course textbook as
it provides a solid background on missions. Review the Week 1

After reading these instructions, replace this blue text with your
assessment and change the font color to black.Stakeholders
Thoroughly evaluate how each category of stakeholder,
described in the textbook, impacts the overall success of your
selected corporation. Do not Google “stakeholders” or simply
provide a definition or list of stakeholders. You must provide an
evaluation that demonstrates your understanding of each
classification of stakeholders, as described in this course. Hint:
See Figure 1.4. Do not write in general terms about
stakeholders. Your evaluation must thoroughly and specifically
describe how each classification of stakeholders impacts your
selected corporation’s success. It is critical that you display
your understanding of stakeholder classifications. Without the
identification and evaluation of each of the stakeholder
classifications, discussed in the course, you have not met the
requirements. Read chapter 1 for additional background on
Stakeholders and the Classifications, as it provides a solid
background that applies to this section. Review the Week 1

and avoid the use of direct quotes. After reading these
instructions, replace this blue text with your evaluation and

Avoid repeating the same words of the author. · Remember, you cannot just replace words from the original sentence.
  • 12. · Add the author’s last name and a number to the end of your paraphrase as a citation (which will be the same on your Source List). ORIGINAL SOURCE “Writing at a college level requires informed research.” PARAPHRASING As Harvey wrote, when writing a paper for higher education, it is critical to research and cite sources (1). When writing a paper for higher education, it is imperative to research and cite sources (Harvey, 1). Option #2: Quoting Citing Another Person’s Work Word-for-Word · Place quotation marks at the beginning and end of quoted information. · Limit quotes to two or fewer sentences (approximately 25 words) at a time. · Do not start a sentence with a quotation. · Introduce and explain quotes within the context of your paper. · Add the author’s last name and a number to the end of the quote as a citation (which will be the same on your
  • 13. Source List). ORIGINAL SOURCE “Writing at a college level requires informed research.” QUOTING Harvey wrote in his book, “Writing at a college level requires informed research” (1). Many authors agree, “Writing at a college level requires informed research” (Harvey, 1). Use these rules for using evidence and creating in-text citations! General Credit · Credit quoted or paraphrased sources using an in-text citation. An in-text citation includes the primary author’s last name and the number of the source from the Source List. · Before using any source, first determine its credibility. Then decide if the source is appropriate and relevant for your project. Find tips here. · Well-researched assignments have at least as many sources as pages (see assignment instructions). https://strayer.libguides.com/research_strategies/evaluate Strayer University Writing Standards 7
  • 14. Web sources are accessed through an internet browser. Home Pages A home page loads when typing a standard web address. For instance, typing Google.com into any web browser will take you to Google’s home page. Cite a homepage when using information from a news thread, image, or basic piece of information on a company’s website. Find Tips Here. Specific Web Pages If using any web page other than the home page, include the specific page title and direct link (when possible) in the Source List entry. If the assignment used multiple web pages from the same source, create separate Source List entries (if the title and/or web address is different). Effective Internet Links When sharing a link to an article with your instructor and classmates, start with a brief summary of the article and why you chose to share it. Share vs. URL Options Cutting and pasting the URL (web address) from your browser may not allow others to view your source. This makes it hard for people to engage with the content you used. To avoid this problem, look for a “share” option and choose that when possible. Always test your link(s) before submitting.
  • 15. If you cannot properly share the link, include the article/source as an attachment. Interested classmates and your professor can reference the article shared as an attachment. Find tips here. Credit for Web Sources Charts, images, and tables should be centered horizontally on the page and should be followed by an in-text citation. Design your page and place a citation below the chart, image, or table. When referring to the chart, image, or table in the body of the assignment, use the citation. Do not include a chart, image, or table without introducing it in the assignment and explaining why it is necessary. On your Source List, provide the following details of the visual: · Author’s name (if created by you, provide your name). · Date (if created by you, provide the year). · Type (Chart, Image, or Table). · How to find it (link or other information; see Source List section for additional details).

  • 16. Traditional Sources Page Numbers When referencing multiple pages in a textbook or other print book, consider adding page numbers to help the audience understand where the information is found. You can do this in three ways: a. by including it in the body of your assignment; or or b. by using an in-text citation; or c. by listing page numbers in the order used in your assignment on the Source List. Check with your instructor or the assignment guidelines to see if there is a preference based on your course. IN-TEXT CITATION (Harvey, 1, p. 16) In the example, the author is Harvey, the source list number is 1, and the page number where this information can be found is page 16. Multiple Sources (Synthesizing) Synthesizing is the use of multiple sources in one paraphrased sentence or paragraph to make a strong point. While this is normally done in advanced writing, it could be useful for any writing where you use more than one source. Find tips here. The key is clarity. If you paraphrase multiple sources in the same sentence (or paragraph if most of the information contained in the paragraph is paraphrased),
  • 17. you should include each source in the citation. Separate sources using semi-colons (;) and create the citation in the normal style that you would for using only one source (Name, Source Number). SYNTHESIZED IN-TEXT CITATION (Harvey, 1; Buchanan, 2) In the example, the authors Harvey and Buchanan were paraphrased to help the student make a strong point. Harvey is the first source on the Source List, and Buchanan is the second source on the Source List. Advanced Methods Some assignments require more advanced techniques. If necessary, these guidelines help with special case scenarios. https://cdnapisec.kaltura.com/index.php/extwidget/preview/part ner_id/956951/uiconf_id/38285871/entry_id/1_pborvrec/embed/ dynamic Strayer University Writing Standards 9 Substitution and Ellipsis Omitting unnecessary information from a direct quotation is often required. To omit information, delete the unnecessary information and replace it with an ellipsis inside of square brackets, like this: […]. Find tips here. There are times when a quality source has made a mistake, but you still value the information that the source provides. To solve this issue, change elements of the source (noting
  • 18. what additions or changes were required). When changing elements within a direct quotation, delete the original information and surround the new wording or spelling with square brackets, like this: “[W]riting”. The bracket here shows that the original source may have misspelled “writing” or that the “W” has been capitalized and was lowercase in the source material. NOTE: Ellipsis and square brackets cannot be used in paraphrased source material. ORIGINAL SOURCE “Writing at a college level requires informed research.” ELLIPSIS Harvey wrote that writing “at a college level requires […] research” (1). SUBSTITUTION Many authors agree that “[w]riting at an [under- graduate] college level requires informed re- search” (1). Footnotes and Additional Content Written assignments may benefit from including relevant background information that is not necessarily important for the main body of the assignment. To include extra secondary evidence or authorial commentary, insert a numeral superscript into the text of
  • 19. the assignment and add the extra evidence or commentary in the footer of the page as a footnote. (Note: Microsoft Word’s “Insert Footnote” function is the preferred method.) When writing a paper for higher education,4 it is imperative to research and cite sources (Harvey, 1). This suggestion applies to both undergraduate and graduate students, and it is the first thing that beginning students must internalize. 4 Mathews has pointed out that this suggestion is appropriate for all levels of education, even those outside of university, and is in fact best practices for any form of professional writing (2). However, this paper focuses specifically on writing in college-level education. Appendices An assignment may require an appendix following the Source List. The appendix is meant to declutter the assignment body or provide relevant supplemental information for the audience. If there is only one appendix, it is labeled, Appendix. More than one appendix may be required. Label the first appendix Appendix A, the second Appendix B, and so on. Each chart, graphic, or photograph referred to in the body of the assignment requires its own listing in the appendices. Use descriptive labels in the body of your written assignment to link each chart, graphic, or photograph to its place in the appendices. For example, when referring to a chart found in Appendix B, a student would include (see Appendix B, Cost of Tuition in Secondary Education, 2010-2019) after referring to data drawn from that chart.

It is a new page added at the end of your assignment. The list gives credit to authors whose work supported your own and should provide enough information so that others can find the source(s) without your help. Build your Source List as you write. � Type “Sources” at the top of a new page. � Include a numbered list of the sources you used in your paper (the numbers indicate the order in which you used them). 1. Use the number one (1) for the first source used in the paper, the number two (2) for the second source, and so on. 2. Use the same number for a source if you use it multiple times. � Ensure each source includes five parts: author or organization, publication date, title, page number (if needed), and how to find it. If you have trouble finding these details, then re-evaluate the credibility of your source.
  • 21. � Use the browser link for a public webpage. � Use a permalink for a webpage when possible. Find tips here. � Instruct your readers on how to find all sources that do not have a browser link or a permalink. � Separate each Source List element with a period on your Source List. AUTHOR PUBLICATION DATE TITLE PAGE NO. HOW TO FIND The person(s) who published the source. This can be a single person, a group of people, or an organization. If the source has no author, use “No author” where you would list the author. The date the source was published. If the source has no publication date, use “No date” where you would list the date. The title of the source. If the source has no title, use “No title” where you would list the title.
  • 22. The page number(s) used. If the source has no page numbers, omit this section from your Source List Entry. Instruct readers how to find all sources. Keep explanations simple and concise, but provide enough information so the source can be located. Note: It is your responsibility to make sure the source can be found.
