PSY 616 Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric: Strategy
Overview: You will prepare three graded formative tasks (milestones) supporting the analysis needed for the final product, a consulting case study and action plan for a real-world organization.
The three presentations will examine the problem in the organization (Milestone Two), the strategy to address the problem (Milestone Three), and a prediction of possible outcomes (Milestone Four).These will also be included in the final project as an appendix. These formative tasks will scaffold to the final product providing opportunities to apply organizational consulting concepts and tools in a real-world example.
Guidelines for presentations: The development of concise, professional presentations suitable for presenting to the leadership of a client organization is an important component of an organizational consultant’s role. For each presentation, the content should clearly address the specific goal. The target audience is the client, so the slides should be written in an effort to persuade the client to agree with your point of view. No matter how extensive the research or accurate the conclusions, a weak presentation can undermine an argument. When creating presentations, you will develop skills in researching an issue, synthesizing the information, organizing data logically, and presenting findings in an effective manner.
1. You may use a product such as PowerPoint, Google Presentation, or Prezi to create your presentations.
2. There are various template designs that you can find on the web for your presentation. Consider your presentation from the perspective of your audience prior to selecting a specific style. Avoid distractions. Be consistent with the style of text, bullets, and subpoints to support a powerful presentation that allows your content to be the focus.
3. Each slide should include your key point(s). Do not place large blocks of text on the visual.
4. Use clip art, AutoShapes, pictures, charts, tables, and diagrams to enhance but not overwhelm your content.
5. Be mindful of the intended audience.

The ExternalEnvironment, Internal Profile,SWOT
Remember that the Case in this course is an ongoing exercise, meaning that we will be taking an intensive look at one company over the course of our four modules. This session, we will be conducting a strategic analysis of Pepsico.
The outcome of this Case is to use a completed external and internal analysis of Pepsico in the completion of a SWOT.
Case Assignment
In a 8 to 10 page paper, integrate your external and internal company analysis, completing a formal company SWOT.
Keys to the Assignment
Step 1: Perform research, and complete an industry analysis using each of the Five Forces in Porter's model. Support your analysis with current financial, operational, and marketing data.
Step 2: Complete your external analysis using each of the four elements in the PEST analysis. When considering economic data, use the most current data you can find.
Step 3: Write up the results of your external analysis, and be sure to label the impact of each of the Five Forces as high, moderate, or low. Taken together, the Five Forces analysis and the PEST analysis should lead to conclusions about the overall opportunities and threats facing Pepsico as revealed by your research. All data and factual information that you report in your Five Forces and PEST analysis must be properly cited using APA style.
Step 4: Conduct a critical and thorough internal analysis of Pepsico, assessing as many of the company’s key internal strengths and weaknesses as you can. Consider the operations, customer service, finance, human resources management, and marketing functions. See the following website, as it will help you decide which strengths and weaknesses you might wish to evaluate: http://www.businessballs.com/swotanalysisfreetemplate.htm
Step 5: Discuss the results of your internal analysis, including your conclusions concerning the strengths and weaknesses facing Pepsico.
Step 6: Synthesize your internal analysis with your external environmental analysis, formulating a complete SWOT analysis. Provide a SWOT diagram (include as an Appendix – not as part of the written analysis) in which you show – in each of the four quadrants – the most important 3-4 company strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Each of these should be discussed thoroughly within your written analysis.
Based on your SWOT, give very specific and informed recommendations as to what the company should do. Give your overall analysis—does the company have more strengths than weaknesses? More weaknesses than strengths? Whatever you decide, you need to recommend (with strong, convincing support) what you believe should be the company’s strategy — in response to your collective assessment of the organization's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. You must demonstrate evidence of critical thinking – do not simply restate facts you have learned about the company. Interpret the data and factual information you have found instead.

Assignment 1 Models for Competitive DynamicsDue Week 2 and wort.docxfelicitytaft14745
Assignment 1: Models for Competitive Dynamics
Due Week 2 and worth 105 points
Competition has, since the 90s, led to wider gaps between industry leaders and laggards. There are more “winner-take-all” environments and greater churns among industry sector rivals. We have witnessed sharp increases in quality and quantity of IT (Information Technology) investments. We’ve seen striking competitive dynamics, particularly in sectors that spend the most on IT. Some of the competitive dynamics models include the Destroy Your Business (DYB) strategy, the Grow Your Business (GYB) strategy, the Information Systems (IS) and strategic advantage, and the social business strategy.
Write a four to five page paper in which you:
1. Compare and contrast the DYB and GYB strategies in terms of the ability to sustain a business in the marketplace over the long term, to be competitive against rivals, and profitability.
2. Examine the “cannibalization” strategy and determine if it is or is not a better strategy compared to the DYB strategy for growth, competitiveness, and market leadership. Provide two business examples.
3. Determine whether or not changes in business strategy should entail reassessment of IS. Provide three reasons to support your position.
4. Examine how firms can use social IT in alignment with organizational strategy and IS strategy. Consider collaborative capabilities; and what, how, and who should use social IT for a social business strategy.
5. Use at three quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
· This course requires use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The format is different than other Strayer University courses. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details.

Humans, especially children, have an amazing capability to learn l (2).docxpauline234567
Humans, especially children, have an amazing capability to learn language. Within the first year of life, children will have learned many of the necessary concepts to have functional language, although it will still take years to develop fully. But are humans unique in their ability to acquire language? As you know, as a graduate student I was chosen to work with Dr. Roger Fouts at the Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute (CHCI), a sanctuary for chimpanzees used in ape language research and home to world renowned Washoe, the first nonhuman to acquire a human language. Four of the chimpanzees, Washoe, Moja, Tatu and Dar were immersed in American Sign Language (ASL), and they learned to communicate by using signs in their daily interactions. Loulis, Washoe's adopted son was not cross-fostered. He acquired his signs from Washoe and the three other chimpanzees. He was the first non-human to learn a human language from other non-humans. Thus, Loulis observed the other chimpanzees using the signs of ASL around him, like CHASE and TICKLE during play interactions. Washoe would even mold his hand into signs like MORE for new food. By observing and researching how Washoe and her family learn and use the signs of ASL, we have gained a better understanding of the patterns of language development that bridge species barriers. In addition to our use of language, we have also seen that our emotions and social bonds are very similar to chimpanzees. Read the attached excerpt from "Next of Kin" by Dr. Roger Fouts & Stephen Tukel Mills and answer the following questions:
1. What was Washoe doing in the tree that day that "left Harre shaken"?
2. What did Washoe do that deaf human children also do? (Give five examples)
3. What were some behaviors Washoe exhibited that proved she hadn't been trained? (Give four examples)
4. Explain how a language study like this can change a person's view of the world.

Strategic Alliances
#1 Joint Venture
A joint venture is established when the parent companies establish a new child company. For example, Company A and Company B (parent companies) can form a joint venture by creating Company C (child company).
#2 Equity Strategic Alliance
An equity strategic alliance is created when one company purchases a certain equity percentage of the other company. If Company A purchases 40% of the equity in Company B, an equity strategic alliance would be formed.
#3 Non-equity Strategic Alliance
A non-equity strategic alliance is created when two or more companies sign a contractual relationship to pool their resources and capabilities together.

Joint Ventures
BMW and Toyota co-operate on research into hydrogen fuel cells, vehicle electrification and ultra- lightweight materials

Equity Strategic Alliance
A great example is Panasonic. In 2009, Panasonic entered into an agreement to supply Tesla Motors with lithium-ion battery cells to use in its cars. In 2010 Panasonic invested $30 million in Tesla to support the growth of the electric car industry. Over the years, this alliance has grown. In 2017, Panasonic announced it and Tesla would start making batteries at a factory outside of Reno, Nevada.

More than 6,000 outpatient and 10,000 inpatient surgeries were performed.
An important aspect of the provider/patient relationship pertains to open communication and trust. Patients want to know that their doctors and the support staff associated with their care understand their wishes and will abide by them. Ideally, these conversations happen well before an emergency or procedure takes place; however, often times this information is missing from a patient's file. As part of Three Mountains' initiative to build trust with their patients, an increased emphasis has been placed on obtaining living wills from the patient as part of the intake process to ensure that the healthcare team has written directives of the patient's wishes in case of incapacitation. You will be creating a living will for a patient and provide educational information as to why the patient should fill it out during the admission process before a procedure.
Introduction:
Explain the definition of a living will and its key components. This section will provide an educational overview of the document for the patient.
Living Will Template:
Create a living will that can serve as a template to the patients. This should cover the basic treatment issues such as resuscitation, feeding tubes, ventilation, organ and tissue donations, etc. Provide instructions in the template that can be easily altered, depending on each patient's wishes.

Humans, especially children, have an amazing capability to learn l (2).docxpauline234567
Humans, especially children, have an amazing capability to learn language. Within the first year of life, children will have learned many of the necessary concepts to have functional language, although it will still take years to develop fully. But are humans unique in their ability to acquire language? As you know, as a graduate student I was chosen to work with Dr. Roger Fouts at the Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute (CHCI), a sanctuary for chimpanzees used in ape language research and home to world renowned Washoe, the first nonhuman to acquire a human language. Four of the chimpanzees, Washoe, Moja, Tatu and Dar were immersed in American Sign Language (ASL), and they learned to communicate by using signs in their daily interactions. Loulis, Washoe's adopted son was not cross-fostered. He acquired his signs from Washoe and the three other chimpanzees. He was the first non-human to learn a human language from other non-humans. Thus, Loulis observed the other chimpanzees using the signs of ASL around him, like CHASE and TICKLE during play interactions. Washoe would even mold his hand into signs like MORE for new food. By observing and researching how Washoe and her family learn and use the signs of ASL, we have gained a better understanding of the patterns of language development that bridge species barriers. In addition to our use of language, we have also seen that our emotions and social bonds are very similar to chimpanzees. Read the attached excerpt from "Next of Kin" by Dr. Roger Fouts & Stephen Tukel Mills and answer the following questions:
1. What was Washoe doing in the tree that day that "left Harre shaken"?
2. What did Washoe do that deaf human children also do? (Give five examples)
3. What were some behaviors Washoe exhibited that proved she hadn't been trained? (Give four examples)
4. Explain how a language study like this can change a person's view of the world.

Strategic Alliances
#1 Joint Venture
A joint venture is established when the parent companies establish a new child company. For example, Company A and Company B (parent companies) can form a joint venture by creating Company C (child company).
#2 Equity Strategic Alliance
An equity strategic alliance is created when one company purchases a certain equity percentage of the other company. If Company A purchases 40% of the equity in Company B, an equity strategic alliance would be formed.
#3 Non-equity Strategic Alliance
A non-equity strategic alliance is created when two or more companies sign a contractual relationship to pool their resources and capabilities together.

Joint Ventures
BMW and Toyota co-operate on research into hydrogen fuel cells, vehicle electrification and ultra- lightweight materials

Equity Strategic Alliance
A great example is Panasonic. In 2009, Panasonic entered into an agreement to supply Tesla Motors with lithium-ion battery cells to use in its cars. In 2010 Panasonic invested $30 million in Tesla to support the growth of the electric car industry. Over the years, this alliance has grown. In 2017, Panasonic announced it and Tesla would start making batteries at a factory outside of Reno, Nevada.

More than 6,000 outpatient and 10,000 inpatient surgeries were performed.
An important aspect of the provider/patient relationship pertains to open communication and trust. Patients want to know that their doctors and the support staff associated with their care understand their wishes and will abide by them. Ideally, these conversations happen well before an emergency or procedure takes place; however, often times this information is missing from a patient's file. As part of Three Mountains' initiative to build trust with their patients, an increased emphasis has been placed on obtaining living wills from the patient as part of the intake process to ensure that the healthcare team has written directives of the patient's wishes in case of incapacitation. You will be creating a living will for a patient and provide educational information as to why the patient should fill it out during the admission process before a procedure.
Introduction:
Explain the definition of a living will and its key components. This section will provide an educational overview of the document for the patient.
Living Will Template:
Create a living will that can serve as a template to the patients. This should cover the basic treatment issues such as resuscitation, feeding tubes, ventilation, organ and tissue donations, etc. Provide instructions in the template that can be easily altered, depending on each patient's wishes.

Competences, Learning Theories and MOOCs:
Recent Developments in Lifelong Learning
Karl Steffens
Introduction
We think of our societies as ‘knowledge societies’ in which lifelong learning is
becoming increasingly important. Lifelong learning refers to the idea that people
not only learn in schools and universities, but also in non-formal and informal
ways during their lifespan.The concepts of lifelong learning and lifelong education
began to enter the discourse on educational policies in the late 1960s (Tuijnman
& Boström, 2002). However, these are related, but distinct concepts. As Lee (2014,
p. 472) notes ‘the terminological change (from lifelong education, continuing
education and adult education, to lifelong learning) reflects a conceptual departure
from the idea of organised educational provision to that of a more individualised
pursuit of learning’.
One of the first important documents on lifelong learning was the report of the
International Commission on the Development of Education to UNESCO in
1972, titled ‘Learning to be. The world of education today and tomorrow’. In his
introductory letter to the Director-General of UNESCO, the chairman of the
Commission, Edgar Faure, stated that the work of the Commission was based on
four assumptions (see Elfert pp. and Carneiro pp. in this issue). The first was
related to the idea that there was an international community which was united by
common aspirations and the second was the belief in democracy and in education
as its keystones. The third was ‘that the aim of development is the complete
fulfilment of man, in all the richness of his personality, the complexity of his forms
of expression and his various commitments — as individual, member of a family
and of a community, citizen and producer, inventor of techniques and creative
dreamer’. The last assumption was that ‘only an over-all, lifelong education can
produce the kind of complete man, the need for whom is increasing with the
continually more stringent constraints tearing the individual asunder’ (Faure,
1972, p. vi).
Following the Faure Report, the UNESCO Institute for Education, which
was founded in Germany in 1951, started to focus on lifelong learning and
subsequently became the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL, http://
uil.unesco.org/home/). It was under its leadership that a formal model of lifelong
education was developed and published in the book ‘Towards a System of Life-
long Education’ (Cropley, 1980). The concept of lifelong learning also became
manifest in the ‘Education for All’ (EFA) agenda that was launched at the World
Conference on Education for All which took place in Jomtien (Thailand) in
1990 (Inter-Agency Commission, 1990). Ten years later, at the World Education
Forum in Dakar (Senegal) in 2000, the Dakar Framework for Action was
designed ‘to enable all individuals to realize their right to learn and to fulfil their
responsibility to contribute to the development of their society’ (UNESCO,
2000, p..

Introduction
Base Salary Range
For the position of VP of Operations, the National Average Salary is $122,624. In San Francisco, the average is higher and placed at $155,946. This amount is 16% higher than the National Average (Payscale, 2016). The reason for this increase is because of experience and geography. These are the two prime factors that impact the pay scale. Another major factor is the employer. Most employers base their decision to hire an individual on the experience they bring with them. Of course, with more experience, higher pay is required. With our company cutting cost a less experienced individual would be the best fit for the position.
Standard Employee Benefit
In many cases, your employee benefits could be the turning point for a prospective employee. This benefit is a vital portion of any employee packet. These valuable benefits are used as a blanket of security in the case of any sickness, injury, unemployment, old age, or death (Gomez-Mejia, Balkin & Cardy, 2015, p. 362). There is a significant difference between incentives and benefits: benefits are financial and nonfinancial compensations that are indirect to the employee. To have a competitive strategy Blossoms Up! must align their profits with the compensation package that has been already put in place. This action will help provide flexibility to the amount and the benefits available (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015).
There are also some benefits that most companies are legally obligated to provide. Three benefits are required regardless of the number of employees that the company has. These interests involve social security, workers compensation, and unemployment insurance (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015). Other laws must be adhered to when dealing with a certain number of individuals. When a company has 50 or more employee they must have the Family and Medical Leave Act in place and since its induction in 2015 the Affordable Care Act for Health Insurance for companies with 20 or more employees. For the health insurance to be considered standard medical, vision and dental plans must be made available to the business. These programs that must be regarded as being under the Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) or a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015).
There are some voluntary benefits that we can include. We are already looking into adding a pension package using the Defined Contribution Plan as well as the 401(K) plan (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015). Life insurance is another excellent benefit that could be added to the package as well as short-term and long-term disability insurance. Adding Vacation and PTO, and Holiday pay is .

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Coca-Cola Company Analysis: Competitive strategy
12. Author’s Name(s)
Institutional Affiliation(s)
Author’s Note
Introduction
Globalization and technology have a far-reaching impact on the
choice of the marketing strategy an organization will use to
compete in the market. Globalization is the intensification of
the interconnectedness whereby an effective global market
connection enables people to get information easily and as well
as experiences the actual environment within the global market.
As of the current, there is a great change in how organizations
do things due to increased know how promoted by technology
and globalization effects (Lawlor, 2007). It is common and
obvious that company such as Coca-Cola competes in the global
market to survive and acquire better positioning by choosing a
corporate level strategy or a business level strategy effectively.
This act is because all corporations aspire to earn revenue that
is above their competitors in the market and thus the choice of
the strategy determines at a greater extent the survival of the
corporation in the market. It is therefore important for any
corporation to explore on the various strategies and have a full
comprehension of a strategy that gives it a competitive
advantage over the competitor in the market.
Business Level Strategies
There are different business level strategies that Coca-Cola is
identified to include in its marketing operations. Some of the
strategies include differentiation, diversification, acquisition,
merging, and integration. From these strategies, organizations
are at liberty to choose one of the strategies or as well integrate
many of the strategies in order to acquire a competitive
advantage in the market (Kokemuller, 2018). Some of the
13. strategies are theorized in different models of marking such as
generic model and they have gained favor on how they can be
used interchangeably by organizations to gain a competitive
advantage. However, all strategies are crucial in an organization
and there is no strategy that is superior to the other. Some
strategies work effectively for some corporation while they
might not work effectively for other corporation. Equally, some
strategies are widely applied across many organizations and
they have been proved to work better.
Differentiation is one of the generic strategies that are most
effective at the business level. This strategy involves making a
product or a service to stand out in a unique way from others
products. This method also involves carrying a research to find
out the different tests and preferences of company customers so
that a firm can meet the ever-changing demands of customers
after differentiating a product or a service (Leonard, 2018). An
organization is at liberty to set the prices freely provided the
value added can justify the price that has been increased. As
compared to other business level strategies such as cost
leadership, integrated low cost/differentiation, and focused low
cost it is quite evident that differentiation is the best strategy a
business can adopt in order to be the best, differentiation
enables the organization to enjoy the monopoly of setting their
prices.
Corporate level strategies
Coca-Cola has effectively employed the diversification
corporation level strategy to remain relevant and star in the
market; the company offers different types of products to a
different targeted group which includes children, adults, and
diabetic and sugar product. This diversification has enabled
the corporation to remain at the peak of the competition chart
for a long time. The company invests an enormous amount of
money for research to understand the ever-changing tastes and
preferences of the customers (Schneider, 2016). Equally, the
company has been aggressively diversifying its business
amazingly to suit the need of the customers. This company has
14. almost embraced all types of diversification viz. horizontal
diversification, concentric diversification, and vertical
diversification. Horizontal diversification includes offering a
new product to the market producing energy drinks which are
apart from the normal beverages products offered. Vertical
diversification involves the company going back to the initial
stages of the production cycle (Furrer, 2016). The company has
also employed concentric diversification whereby the
corporation has enlarged its production portfolio by the addition
of the new product with the aim of making use of the existing
market share.
Diversification strategy has enabled Coca-Cola Company to
introduce many products which are unique to other products or
beverages that exist in the market. This strategy is primarily the
most effective corporation level strategy, it has given the
company a competitive advantage over the other companies
providing beverages in the market. Analytically the effective
choice of the effective strategy is the reason why the company
has remained relevant and competitive in the market for quite a
long time. Other variable corporate strategies of the company
range on different measures identified with the company. It
should be identified that Coca-Cola has invested in newer
revenue platforms to enhance its long-term sales and profits.
The encroachment into the newer markets including the
manufacturing of mineral water and even introduction of coffee
is a clear indication that this company has widely expanded its
market portfolio and with no doubt, the company has embraced
and well-designed competing strategy in order to outdo its
competitors who are increasing in the industry at large (Faria,
Barros, & Sauerbronn, 2017). The market is always fragile and
it requires continues evaluation of the effectiveness of different
corporate strategies used since blind employment of any
strategy will adversely affect the business. Any strategy can
either affect corporation positively or negatively hence the
choice of the strategy will at a greater extent determine if the
corporation will match the competitors or not.
15. Company Competition
The most significance competitor for Coca-Cola is Pepsi. The
two corporations produce or manufacture beverages regardless
of the company’s intensive investment has not been able to
match Coca-Cola in many global markets. The case here is that
the Pepsi has not been able to employ the most effective
corporate level strategy in order to match with its competitor.
The product of Pepsi is generally cheaper as compared to Coca-
Cola and this shows that the company has employed the cost
leadership strategy (Allen, 2015). But this strategy has not been
effective as the diversification strategy employed by Coca-Cola
hence the revenue has remained low and the market share is still
minimal. It is evident that every corporation has a strategy that
works for but sometimes these strategies work at certain stages
but they do not work at all levels of the corporation. When it
does not work to the favor of the corporation it means that the
corporation will be disadvantaged over the competitor when a
strategy fails to favor a corporation. Effective measures are
supposed to be taken to save the corporation from collapsing.
The two rivalry corporations mentioned above have employed
different strategies at different stages of growth levels. Some
strategies have worked to the favor of one company while other
strategies have not been effective as intended by Coca-Cola or
Pepsi, Coca-Cola being a well-established company has also
employed the cost leadership strategy (Kayabaº, Boyraz, &
Derdiyok, 2017). This is due to its heavy investment and large
market share this strategy has worked effectively for the
company since the company has been able to produce its
product at relatively low prices in other markets Pepsi has also
been able to employ this strategy since their product has been
also been priced relatively low but the strategy hasn’t been
effective as the rivalry company Coca-Cola . this Situation is
because the company has a low market share and it has not been
able to match its rivalry company.
Diversification is also one of the strategies that corporations
16. employ to survive the market. There are levels of diversification
strategy and at each level, the corporation is affected either
positively or negatively, at the low level the corporation will
adopt either a single-or a dominant-business strategy (Kayabaº,
Boyraz, & Derdiyok, 2017). A single business strategy is
introduced while operating in relatively few products while with
dominant gets almost 90% of its revenue to a single product or
production area. Coca-Cola adopted the dominant strategy while
Pepsi has adopted a single strategy (Allen, 2015). This
difference is because Coca-Cola has over concentrated on
beverages while Pepsi has concentrated on several products in
the market. At the moderate and high level of diversification,
the corporation raises more than 30% of its revenue from the
non-dominant business this is disadvantageous because most
resources are invested where it does not generate revenue.
It has been observed and proved that for the corporation to
succeed the strategy employed in its operation is the key and it
will determine whether the corporation will survive the market
or not. Change of strategy is quite good because some strategy
will work for other cooperation while it does not work with
other companies. It evident that the two corporations the two
corporations use different strategies to meet the demands in the
market It is identified that Coca-Cola Choice has always
involved diversifications of its products in different markets
and as well as differentiating the products from its competitors
(Kayabaº, Boyraz, & Derdiyok, 2017). There are other
unmentioned generic strategies which include low cots
leadership and focus that has not been well expressed but the
choice is that Coca-Cola Company takes the lead in the
marketing by using the two named strategies.
Market Cycles
In a slow cycle market, Coca-Cola current operations may
work better. This is due to the company's focus on shielding its
products from imitation y increasing ensuring that there is a
17. complete differentiation of the products from the competitors'
products. Equally, imitations might be costly following the
situations identified with the industry and the financial
capabilities of the company competitors. This condition offers
the company a sustainable advantage over other companies in
the industry. Considerably, in a slow cycle market, the
identified company strategies many have challenges considering
that other companies will have the ability to produce similar
products. In this case, differentiation will in return become
costly and taking a single positioning in the market will be
difficult. The company will have an unsustainable competitive
advantage. Ultimately, in the fast-cycle market, reverse
technology gives competitors a better ability to build quality
products and improve their process due to the gained knowledge
from the technology. This condition identifies the company to
have little chances in meeting the desires of its customer and
thus competitors will always take the say of the day in the
market.

THE IMPACT OF GLOBALIZATION AND TECHNOLOGY
CHANGES (BRITISH PETROLEUM COMPANY CASE
STUDY)
British Petroleum Company is the one of the largest oil
companies in the world and the United Kingdom’s largest
corporation. The company is headquartered in London, England,
where the company participates in the London stock exchange
as well as the New York stock exchange and it is listed on the
100 index FTSE. The company has experienced changes in the
recent years, including the accidents of costly and breaking of
brands and the pressure towards addressing the global climate
change targets and focusing oAn the social responsibility.
(McGee 2017). The strengths and the weaknesses of the
company are assessed so that to make possible recommendations
on how the company can take advantage of the opportunities
when addressing any perceived long term and short term threats
of the company.
General environment
The company environment is very favorable to the customers
and the workers but environmental issues can be a threat to the
company if the company does not formalize its social corporate
19. responsibility and treat it as a forefront strategy. This can be
done by revising the safety issues in the workplace so as to
reduce refinery explosions, spills and oil leaks, corrosion of
pipelines and many other environmental hazards. The company
faces increased competition from other companies like the
Chevron ad Shell, which deals with these environmental issues
better that the BP Corporation.
Five Forces of competition
Analyzing the competition of the company, it is good to use the
forces of competition according to porter. These forces have
largely affected the business, but they are worked upon. In this
paper I am going to handle only two forces of competition that
is competitive rivalry and threats of subsidies of products and
services.
Competitive rivalry
Due to efforts made by the company to meet the customer
demands, the company makes its management successful
because it has the following strengths:
· The BP branch Amoco has a tough loyalty brand to its oil
business which makes it receive many revenues to the
corporation due to its toughness.
· The Beyond Petroleum slogan of the company has severed the
company well since it is recognized for its active participation
in other markets and industries.
· The BP worked very extensive to rebuild its image in the wake
of the recent accidents and the mishandling of the executives,
including putting focus on the corporate social responsibility
and transparency as well as a thoughtful communication within
and outside the company.
Threat of substitute products and services.
Despite the fact that the company has made great
advancements to make move and maintain its name, the
company has the following weaknesses which has hindered its
developments.
· The company has consistently faced many disasters and oil
20. spills that have facilitated the damage of environment all around
the world.
· The continued focus on climatic change and the reduction of
the fossil fuels has put the company more pressure of migrating
to provide clean energy options.
· The company has closed many oil wells which have led to
layoffs, which have occurred in the poor cycles of economy,
furthering the image of the brand of the company that it is
uncaring and greedy.
· The competition of the company has been positioned as more
attractive and responsible due to its many missteps that put the
company in the position of having to play the catch-up on the
leaders in their industries and the markets.
Evaluation and future improvements
The company is encountered with a significant weakness of the
dishonest cases from its executives and they poorly handled the
company disasters which tarnished the image of the company
which led to massive penalties, fines and provision of costs to
assist the damaged areas. Salama et al (2013) suggests that, to
handle this problem, the company should audit the executives in
every three months so as to evaluate their performances and
whoever found none performing to be replaced with immediate
effect. This is because; a company cannot be learn by dishonest
and lazy executives and expect to develop. By doing auditing
the members, it will make the executive team to work
effectively so as to retain their positions in the company, which
in turn will lead the company reduce some of the risks caused
due to carelessness.
Strengths and weaknesses
Strength
· British petroleum company has a number of retail brands and
subsidiaries including Amoco; BP express; ARCO; BP connect;
BP Travel Centre; e.t.c, which provides the company with
enough and diversified revenue portfolio rather than
concentrating on the energy business only.
21. Weaknesses
· The company faces dishonest cases from its executives and
they poorly handled the company disasters which tarnished the
image of the company which led to massive penalties, fines and
provision of costs to assist the damaged areas.
Strategy
An organization is subjected to advantages and disadvantages in
its learning. In the case of the BP Company, it is better if it uses
the advantage of its strengths to overcome the challenges. For
instance, the more significant advantage is having a number of
retail brands and subsidiaries including Amoco; BP express;
ARCO; BP connect; BP Travel Centre; e.t.c, which provides the
company with enough and diversified revenue portfolio rather
than concentrating on the energy business only. The company to
make sure the revenues keeps on learning to the business
despite the challenges, it should employ skilled personnel to
learn the business in various branches so as to keep the image
of the company and maintain its product brands.
Resources, capabilities and core competencies of the company
Due to the high rank of BP Company, the company has the
core capabilities and tangible resources which make it at the
rank of competition with other big companies. The company
opportunities include the following:
· BP Company has the potential of becoming the leader of many
fuel companies and energy mare6s in the world if it invests in
repositioning its strategies and research. The market
opportunities of the company include solar energy, wind energy
and hydrogen.
· The company has an opportunity to expand to new
geographical territories with the alternative energy and fuel
opportunities.
· The company has an opportunity to partner with some
countries which have developing solutions to infrastructures
issues so as to move to the use of clean energy options,
positioning the brand of BP around environmental and
renovation responsibility.
22. How the company will treat this thread
Olson et al, (2014), states that, to address the above threats, it
should put more focus on environmental issues. For the case of
spills and social issues, a company should put strategies to
enable it revisit its safety issues like revising the issues by
checking regularly on the tools they use and also repairing
broken pipes. Similarly, the company should employ use of
energy that is friendly to the environment so as to maintain its
brand and reduce unnecessary competition from the companies
which uses environmental friendly fuels and energy. The
company has tried to deal with these issues for the past three
years but due to dishonest staff and carelessness of the
executives, the company has continued to experience the same
problem for years and the problems which is seen to persist if
the company cannot take necessary action like evaluating of the
employees on their performances and productions.
Value chain
McGee, (2017), argues that, the company has an
opportunity to focus further developments in its many
subsidiaries outside its petrochemical focus to enhance revenue
streams to the business. Since the company receives many
revenues within a short period of time, it is better to invest on
many other businesses not necessarily the petrochemical
business to enable it receive some additional incomes. This can
be done by opening up of many different businesses but with the
same brand of the company. Opening the businesses will not
only make the company known very far, but also marketing the
company goods and products.

The Impact of Globalization and Technology Changes (British
Petroleum Company Case Study)
Globalization refers to the increase in internalization of
economies for different nations. A global is an economy where
there are free movement of goods, services, people, skills, and
ideas from one geographical border to the another. Without
artificial obstacles such as tariffs, it is possible for an economy
to expand bringing complications on the company’s competitive
business environment. However, globalization comes with
some challenges that can affect the operation of the company
across the different international boarder. Change in technology
also has several impacts on the company organization’s
operations. Technology includes the institutions, and duties
involving the creation of new knowledge and translation of such
knowledge into outputs, products, processes, and materials. It is
24. important for company organizations to evaluate the impact of
technology changes on the organization. this paper will assess
the impact of globalization and technology changes on British
Petroleum company organization. It will also describe how the
industrial organization model and the resources-based model
can help the company to earn more returns. It also studies how
the vision statement and mission statement of the company
influence its overall performance. Finally, it will explain how
different category of stakeholders within the company impacts
on the overall performance.
Globalization
Globalization refers to the growing economic interdependency
among nations and their organizations as a reflection in the flow
of commodities and services, financial capital, and knowledge
across the borders of different countries. It has much impact on
the British Petroleum company organization. it explains how
different competing firms out do each other within the existing
global economies. In the British Petroleum company, there are
different organizations which offer competition to compete the
company out. However, the strives to come up with strategies
to make it be at the top in the global market. The company
obtain their capital revenue from other rich countries and buy
raw materials in other countries to aid in the production process
of oil. There are oil drilling machines which are bought from
different developed countries and used to extract the petroleum
which they sell to other international markets across the globe.
The globolization result in an increase in the range of
opportunities for the company to be more competitive. The
company focus on the strategic management process and
culturally choices to enhance the effective operation of the
company. Globalization has enabled the company to expand its
market through the creation of a relationship with different
nations. They company is now able to sell more of its products
in different countries resulting in more profit to the company.
Globalization is therefore important in the British Petroleum
company because it allows effective competition in the global
25. market.
Technology
Technological change has many impacts on company operations.
Through the study of the internet, the company can anticipate
how to create value for in future and the anticipation of the
future trends. The internet has also enabled the company to
promote its product through the creation of a website where
many people can access information on the company services.
Social media like Facebook makes the company publicize its
products and get more market networks. Strategic
competitiveness is possible through the application of wireless
communication. The company is now able to get different
information on the market competition by using different social
media to obtain the necessary information that will enable it to
expand its market. New technologies on data analysis
techniques have enabled the company to analyze its market
value to apply effective measures to respond to the requirements
of such data. The company can evaluate its performance by
checking the progress in the marketing trend that is available in
the data. Technology is fundamental because it ensures that the
company gets the important information on the market trends.
The company will now be in a better position to lay out
strategies on how to manage their products to win more
customers.
Industrial-Based Model
Industrial organization model refers to the model where a group
of firms operates to influence each other to earn more in the
market. The company utilizes this model to enable it to improve
its service delivery. There is cooperation with other companies
which produce petroleum to measure the level of
competitiveness that the company has in the global market. This
also helps the company in opening the arena of competitiveness
(Ansoff, 2014). For instance, British Petroleum company is now
considered to offer services that are generally dealing with oil
and petroleum. Coordination with other related companies
enables the company to influence the other and improve more
26. on its performance. The company is now at the top of the
market because most of the customers have confident in
different products that the company produce. Through the
model, the company can identify government policies that may
affect its way of operation in different global markets. The
company will find out the better ways to cater to the customs
duties that may affect the volume of the company return.
Resource-Based Model
The resource-based model is a model which applies the
assumption that each organization has unique resources and
proficiencies. This uniqueness is the base the firm will apply to
accomplish its strategy and its ability to earn above the
standard. The company utilizes human resources and available
capital to maximize its returns. There are three types of
resources that the company utilize. They include physical,
human and organizational (Cullen, 2010). The individual
company resources may sometimes not yield the required
output. According to this model, the company can evaluate its
performance over time by using unique resources and
capabilities without consideration on the company’s structural
characteristics. The company uses this model to utilize the
available labor. The company can use the available resources to
help in production to expand on its value of returns in the
global market. The company uses the available oil deposits and
exploit maximumly to obtain maximum profit.
Vision
The company has a vision that focuses on being the best in the
global market. Though this vision, the company stakeholders
can identify the objective of the firm and perform toward
achieving this mission. Many people will be able to identify its
weakness by focusing on the success of the company’s business
operations. Individuals who are responsible within the company
will always be active to participate in the company activities to
make the company put into practice the vision of the company.
This will make the company be at the peak of the market
because its vision focuses on customers satisfaction.
27. Mission
The company mission is to reach out the available markets
globally to maximize the returns and satisfy the customers’
needs. The British Petroleum company’s primary focus is to
reach out the global market and satisfy the needs of the buyers
of their products. Through this mission, the company focuses on
the production of quality goods that are prefered in the global
market. Giving the customer is a priority has also enabled the
company to succeed in the global market. this is because they
produce quality petroleum that most of the people buy.
Stakeholders
There is a team of stake holders which enable the company in
the establishment of relationships. These stakeholders have a
direct impact on the company vision and mission. They enforce
the performance of the company by supporting the company to
meet its market targets (Michael, 2013). Outsourcing the
performance of stakeholders has enabled the company to enjoy a
competitive advantage. The company can crate relationships
with different global business organizations to enable them to to
win more market in the competitive world. The managers in the
company are committed to helping in making rational decisions
and performance of different actions that will enhance the
performance of the stake holders by giving them guidelines on
how to crate their business networks.
