MBA 700: Strategic Analysis Final Project Guidelines and Grading Guide
Overview
The final project for this course requires students to use concepts from each module, answer questions about their chosen company, and complete a strategic
analysis of that company in a variety of areas. Milestone drafts of your answers are assigned in several modules leading to the strategic analysis final project
submitted in Module Nine.
You have been hired as a consultant at the company you have been researching. This final report is an in-depth look at the strategy and corporate management
based on your detailed research completed throughout the semester. This paper is designed as a full report with recommendations that the executive team will
use to enhance the existing strategic management. This project is divided into five milestones, submitted in Modules One, Four, Five, Seven, and Nine (final
deliverable).
Main Elements
Your report should include, as a minimum, the following 11 components:
1. Strategy and the Strategic Management Process at your Chosen Company
Describe the industry you are investigating. Identify the company you are researching along with the mission, vision, values, and strategic plan. Be sure to

Assignment 1 Models for Competitive DynamicsDue Week 2 and wort.docx
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.
· Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
· Demonstrate an understanding of the integration of enterprise systems with inter-organizational partners.
· Use technology and information resources to research issues in enterprise architecture.
· Write clearly and concisely about enterprise architecture topics using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.
Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality, logic / organization of the paper, and language and writing skills, using the following rubric.

Integrative Learning Project Assignment Instructions
For the Integrative Learning Project Assignment, you will research a particular, authentic company/industry or a fabricated company/industry. (No one in this course should write anything regarding their government or organizational relationship that could create doubt about crossing lines that would disclose confidential information of any kind.

· Title Page
· Table of Contents
· Abstract
· Introduction
· It should be no more than ½ page in length.
· Reference the APA Publication Manual, 7th edition, section 3.4 for suggested components of an introduction and section 2.27 for formatting.
· Organizational Setting
· In at least 2 pages:
· Describe the mission of your organization (e.g., what product or service is provided, to what intended markets, and how the product or service is distinct from those offered by competitors)
· Define your customers are (internal and external)
· Identify what value you add to the organization (how you help the organization achieve its mission)
· Highlight the role Christianity currently plays in this organization (if it is a secular organization, what Christian values are built into the organization?).
· The student must clearly state if the company/industry is fabricated (not statement required for authentic company/industry.
· Integration of Chapter Concepts to the Organizational Setting
· Select 8 different key concepts from the textbook that seem to be most applicable to your organizational setting. Some examples of key concepts include supply chain management, Six Sigma, innovation, etc. Provide an in-depth discussion of each of your chosen key concepts and its application to your organizational setting.
· For each concept, provide a comprehensive description, what benefit it may offer to your organization, and what needs to be done in order to successfully implement this topic into your organization.
· For each concept, integrate appropriate biblical references. Explain how these concepts magnify God’s plan for you.
· This section of your project requires at least 14 pages of graduate-level content and analysis. No more than 1 block quote is allowed in the paper.

Project 2Develop an executive-level PowerPoint presentation that.docx
Project 2
Develop an executive-level PowerPoint presentation that uses the organizations in your case studies as examples to provide an analysis and recommendation to your CIO. Your presentation should include:
1. A brief summary of each organization that includes the following:
· the business the organization is in
· the problem the organization was trying to solve
· whether the enterprise system implementation was a success or not in terms of cost, schedule, performance, and quality
· lessons learned
(Summarized from Project 1)
I. Your presentation should be 8-11 slides that include:
· An introduction or slide outlining the presentation to follow
· 2 slides that summarize the case studies (the business they are in; the problem they were trying to solve; whether the enterprise system implementation was a success in terms of cost, schedule, performance, and quality; and lessons learned)
· 2-3 slides that provide an evaluation of what each organization did right and what it did wrong; and compare and contrast the organizations
· 2-4 slides that provide considerations for the CIO including: benefits and limitations of enterprise systems, determining the best fit for the organization, implementation planning and success criteria (covering structure, processes, and culture of the organization; the phases of the system development life cycle (SDLC); and other considerations)
· A summary/conclusion slide
II. Notes: Details of Presentation
· The bullet points in your presentation will be supported by relevant details in the Notes section of the slides, which contain the actual words you would say to the CIO as you present each slide. Since you cannot actually present the slides in person, the Notes will show what you would actually say. This is an important part of your presentation. If you were writing a paper, the content would be in the notes and the PowerPoint slides would be the outline. [Select the Notes Page under View option in PowerPoint.]
· Presentations with limited or no “Notes” will receive much lower grades, because the bullets should not tell the whole story.
III. Resources
· The use of at least four external scholarly resources (which may include your case studies) is required. (NOTE: More than four resources are required to receive all possible points; see Grading Rubric below.) You should use scholarly journals (rather than Wikipedia and authorless website postings). Remember to correctly cite and reference all sources. Any direct quotes should be indicated within the slide text with appropriate quotation marks and an in-text citation (however, direct quotes should be short and used sparingly, if at all). Complete references for sources should be included in the corresponding Notes section. Paraphrased material can just be referenced within the Notes section of the slides without an in-text citation on the slide. This deviates from APA style but keeps the slides more readable. Note: Do not include your resources on a s ...

Assignment 1 Models for Competitive DynamicsDue Week 2 and wort.docx
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.

· Title Page
· Table of Contents
· Abstract
· Introduction
· It should be no more than ½ page in length.
· Reference the APA Publication Manual, 7th edition, section 3.4 for suggested components of an introduction and section 2.27 for formatting.

· Define your customers are (internal and external)
· Identify what value you add to the organization (how you help the organization achieve its mission)
· Highlight the role Christianity currently plays in this organization (if it is a secular organization, what Christian values are built into the organization?).
· The student must clearly state if the company/industry is fabricated (not statement required for authentic company/industry.
· Integration of Chapter Concepts to the Organizational Setting
· Select 8 different key concepts from the textbook that seem to be most applicable to your organizational setting. Some examples of key concepts include supply chain management, Six Sigma, innovation, etc. Provide an in-depth discussion of each of your chosen key concepts and its application to your organizational setting.
· For each concept, provide a comprehensive description, what benefit it may offer to your organization, and what needs to be done in order to successfully implement this topic into your organization.

Project 2Develop an executive-level PowerPoint presentation that.docx
Project 2
Develop an executive-level PowerPoint presentation that uses the organizations in your case studies as examples to provide an analysis and recommendation to your CIO. Your presentation should include:
1. A brief summary of each organization that includes the following:
· the business the organization is in
· the problem the organization was trying to solve
· whether the enterprise system implementation was a success or not in terms of cost, schedule, performance, and quality
· lessons learned
(Summarized from Project 1)
I. Your presentation should be 8-11 slides that include:
· An introduction or slide outlining the presentation to follow
· 2 slides that summarize the case studies (the business they are in; the problem they were trying to solve; whether the enterprise system implementation was a success in terms of cost, schedule, performance, and quality; and lessons learned)
· 2-3 slides that provide an evaluation of what each organization did right and what it did wrong; and compare and contrast the organizations
· 2-4 slides that provide considerations for the CIO including: benefits and limitations of enterprise systems, determining the best fit for the organization, implementation planning and success criteria (covering structure, processes, and culture of the organization; the phases of the system development life cycle (SDLC); and other considerations)
· A summary/conclusion slide
II. Notes: Details of Presentation
· The bullet points in your presentation will be supported by relevant details in the Notes section of the slides, which contain the actual words you would say to the CIO as you present each slide. Since you cannot actually present the slides in person, the Notes will show what you would actually say. This is an important part of your presentation. If you were writing a paper, the content would be in the notes and the PowerPoint slides would be the outline. [Select the Notes Page under View option in PowerPoint.]
· Presentations with limited or no “Notes” will receive much lower grades, because the bullets should not tell the whole story.
III. Resources
· The use of at least four external scholarly resources (which may include your case studies) is required. (NOTE: More than four resources are required to receive all possible points; see Grading Rubric below.) You should use scholarly journals (rather than Wikipedia and authorless website postings). Remember to correctly cite and reference all sources. Any direct quotes should be indicated within the slide text with appropriate quotation marks and an in-text citation (however, direct quotes should be short and used sparingly, if at all). Complete references for sources should be included in the corresponding Notes section. Paraphrased material can just be referenced within the Notes section of the slides without an in-text citation on the slide. This deviates from APA style but keeps the slides more readable. Note: Do not include your resources on a s ...

PJM6125 Project Evaluation:
Stakeholder Analysis & Evaluation Goal Matrix
Overview and Rationale
For this assignment, you will establish some evaluation goals for your project based on the
method and lens covered in this week’s lecture.
Program and Course Outcomes
This assignment is directly linked to the following key learning outcomes from the course
syllabus:
LO1: Identify and analyze stakeholders associated with performance evaluation.
LO2: Design an evaluation goals matrix incorporating the differences between impact, efficiency,
and effectiveness
LO6: Compare change management procedures needed to respond to the results of both tactical
and non-tactical performance evaluation
L07: Plan and conduct a tactical evaluation using both qualitative and quantitative measures
Essential Components & Instructions
This assignment is completed in two parts. First, using your chosen project that you
submitted as part of Lesson 1, complete the following items:
Stakeholder Register / Analysis:
Create a stakeholder register / analysis that includes the following minimum
columns:
o Stakeholder
o Stakeholder Position / Role
o Type of Stakeholder (internal or external)
o Stakeholder expectation (high level needs or expectations of project)
o Stakeholder interest (high / medium / low)
o Stakeholder influence level (high / medium / low)
o Stakeholder view of project (supportive / neutral / opposed)
o Stakeholder Management strategy (approach to engaging stakeholder to
support success of project)
Once you create the register, create entries for a minimum of 12 - 15 project
stakeholders, performing a full analysis for each of them.
Part 2: Evaluation Goals Matrix:
After completing the stakeholder register, you will create an evaluation goals matrix, as
illustrated in Lesson 2, with an additional column entitled stakeholder. Once you have
designed the evaluation goal matrix, you will need to list at least four evaluation goals for
each category: efficiency, effectiveness, and impact, which will result in a total of 12 metrics
/ goals.
You will be assess on the clarity of the metrics, the concreteness of the measures (Example:
increased performance by 12 percent (concrete) vs. increase performance (not concrete, as
no specific measurement of increase)), and how well the metric will measure the success of
project relative to the overview of the project you provided as a case study.
Format
Below are some key guidelines you will want to ensure you follow in all three elements of
this assignment. Think of this short list as a quality control checklist, along with the
attached grading rubric.

Bullzeye is a discount retailer offering a wide range of products,.docx
Bullzeye is a discount retailer offering a wide range of products, including: home goods, clothing, toys, and food. The company is a regional retailer with 10 brick-and-mortar stores as well as a popular online store. Due to the recent credit card data breaches of various prominent national retail companies (e.g., Target, Home Depot, Staples), the Bullzeye Board of Directors has taken particular interest in information security, especially as it pertains to the protection of credit cardholder data within the Bullzeye environment. The Board has asked executive management to evaluate and strengthen the enterprise’s information security infrastructure, where needed.
In order to respond to the Board regarding their preparedness for a cyber-security attack, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) has engaged your IT consulting firm to identify the inherent risks and recommend control remediation strategies to prevent or to detect and appropriately respond to data breaches. Your firm has been requested to liaison with the Internal Audit Department during the engagement. Your first step is to gain an understanding of Bullzeye’s IT environment. The Chief Audit Executive (CAE) schedules a meeting with key Bullzeye leadership personnel, including the CFO, Chief Information Officer (CIO), and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO).
The following key information was obtained.
Background
IT Security Framework/Policy -
Bullzeye has an information security policy, which was developed by the CISO. The policy was developed in response to an internal audit conducted by an external firm hired by the CAE. The policy is not based on one specific IT control framework but considers elements contained within several frameworks. An information security committee has been recently formed to discuss new security risks and to develop mitigation strategies.
The meeting will be held monthly and include the CISO and other key IT Directors reporting to the CIO.
In addition, a training program was implemented last year in order to provide education on various information security topics (e.g., social engineering, malware, etc.). The program requires that all staff within the IT department complete an annual information security training webinar and corresponding quiz.

PJM6125 Project Evaluation Stakeholder Analysis & Eval.docx
PJM6125 Project Evaluation:
Stakeholder Analysis & Evaluation Goal Matrix
Overview and Rationale
For this assignment, you will establish some evaluation goals for your project based on the
method and lens covered in this week’s lecture.
Program and Course Outcomes
This assignment is directly linked to the following key learning outcomes from the course
syllabus:
LO1: Identify and analyze stakeholders associated with performance evaluation.
LO2: Design an evaluation goals matrix incorporating the differences between impact, efficiency,
and effectiveness
LO6: Compare change management procedures needed to respond to the results of both tactical
and non-tactical performance evaluation
L07: Plan and conduct a tactical evaluation using both qualitative and quantitative measures
Essential Components & Instructions
This assignment is completed in two parts. First, using your chosen project that you
submitted as part of Lesson 1, complete the following items:
Stakeholder Register / Analysis:
Create a stakeholder register / analysis that includes the following minimum
columns:
o Stakeholder
o Stakeholder Position / Role
o Type of Stakeholder (internal or external)
o Stakeholder expectation (high level needs or expectations of project)
o Stakeholder interest (high / medium / low)
o Stakeholder influence level (high / medium / low)
o Stakeholder view of project (supportive / neutral / opposed)
o Stakeholder Management strategy (approach to engaging stakeholder to
support success of project)
Once you create the register, create entries for a minimum of 12 - 15 project
stakeholders, performing a full analysis for each of them.
Part 2: Evaluation Goals Matrix:
After completing the stakeholder register, you will create an evaluation goals matrix, as
illustrated in Lesson 2, with an additional column entitled stakeholder. Once you have
designed the evaluation goal matrix, you will need to list at least four evaluation goals for
each category: efficiency, effectiveness, and impact, which will result in a total of 12 metrics
/ goals.
You will be assess on the clarity of the metrics, the concreteness of the measures (Example:
increased performance by 12 percent (concrete) vs. increase performance (not concrete, as
no specific measurement of increase)), and how well the metric will measure the success of
project relative to the overview of the project you provided as a case study.
Format
Below are some key guidelines you will want to ensure you follow in all three elements of
this assignment. Think of this short list as a quality control checklist, along with the
attached grading rubric.
Part 1 and Part 2 (stakeholder analysis and evaluation matrix) should be submitted
as a single file (MsWord or .pdf)
You should include a cover page
You should include a brief summary of your chosen project.
You should format the documents professionally
The tables should be readable.

Bullzeye is a discount retailer offering a wide range of products,.docx
Bullzeye is a discount retailer offering a wide range of products, including: home goods, clothing, toys, and food. The company is a regional retailer with 10 brick-and-mortar stores as well as a popular online store. Due to the recent credit card data breaches of various prominent national retail companies (e.g., Target, Home Depot, Staples), the Bullzeye Board of Directors has taken particular interest in information security, especially as it pertains to the protection of credit cardholder data within the Bullzeye environment. The Board has asked executive management to evaluate and strengthen the enterprise’s information security infrastructure, where needed.
In order to respond to the Board regarding their preparedness for a cyber-security attack, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) has engaged your IT consulting firm to identify the inherent risks and recommend control remediation strategies to prevent or to detect and appropriately respond to data breaches. Your firm has been requested to liaison with the Internal Audit Department during the engagement. Your first step is to gain an understanding of Bullzeye’s IT environment. The Chief Audit Executive (CAE) schedules a meeting with key Bullzeye leadership personnel, including the CFO, Chief Information Officer (CIO), and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO).
The following key information was obtained.
Background
IT Security Framework/Policy -
Bullzeye has an information security policy, which was developed by the CISO. The policy was developed in response to an internal audit conducted by an external firm hired by the CAE. The policy is not based on one specific IT control framework but considers elements contained within several frameworks. An information security committee has been recently formed to discuss new security risks and to develop mitigation strategies.
The meeting will be held monthly and include the CISO and other key IT Directors reporting to the CIO.
In addition, a training program was implemented last year in order to provide education on various information security topics (e.g., social engineering, malware, etc.). The program requires that all staff within the IT department complete an annual information security training webinar and corresponding quiz. The training program is complemented by a monthly e-mail sent to IT staff, which highlights relevant information security topics.
General IT Environment -
Most employees in the corporate office are assigned a standard desktop computer, although certain management personnel in the corporate and retail locations are issued a laptop if they can demonstrate their need to work remotely. The laptops are given a standard Microsoft Windows operating system image, which includes anti-malware/anti-virus software and patch update software among others. In addition, new laptops are now encrypted; however, desktops and existing laptops are not currently encrypted due to budget concerns. The user provisioning.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

In order to receive full credit, you will need to clearly respond to both parts of the question using subtitles or bullets AND cite at least one scholarly reference in your response. You are required to participate on at least three (3) days of the week to receive full participation points. Case Study: Matrices Assignment Instructions Case Study is on: domino’s pizza inc. (dmz) Template: https://www.strategyclub.com/free-student- template/ The video can be found at: https://youtu.be/jSwDvz-4vc4 Complete a case study of ABC Corporation (your instructor will assign the specific company for the case study at the beginning
- 12. of Module 2: Week 2) . You will find the case in the case section of the text. A formal, in-depth case study analysis requires you to utilize the entire strategic management process. Assume you are a consultant asked by the ABC Corporation to analyze its external/internal environment and make strategic recommendations. You must include exhibits to support your analysis and recommendations. Instructions The completed case study must include these components with portions to be submitted over Modules: Weeks 5 & 6, and a final compilation in Module 8: Week 8. · Cover page (must include the company name, your name, the date of submission, and a references page; the document must follow current APA guidelines) · A total of 12 - 15 pages (for all three parts, combined) of narrative text, this does not include the financial statements, reference pages, or matrices · Reference page (follow current APA guidelines) · Historical Financial Statements, Projected Financial Statements, NPV Calculations and a Cost Sheet for the strategy in an Excel document · Matrices, which must be exhibits/attachments in the appendix and not part of the body of the analysis (The Strategy Club has excellent templates/examples for exhibits and matrices). Your paper must include: 1. Existing mission, objectives, and strategies. 2. A new mission statement (include the number of the component in parenthesis before addressing that component). Great mission statements address these 9 components: · Customers: Who are the firm’s customers? · Products or services: What are the firm’s major products or services? · Markets: Geographically, where does the firm compete? · Technology: Is the firm technologicall y current? · Concern for survival, growth, and profitability: Is the firm
- 13. committed to growth and financial soundness? · Philosophy: What are the basic beliefs, values, aspirations, and ethical priorities of the firm? · Self-concept: What is the firm’s distinctive competence or major competitive advantage? · Concern for public image: Is the firm responsive to social, community, and environmental concerns? · Concern for employees: Are employees a valuable asset of the firm? 3. Analysis of the firm’s existing business model. 4. SWOT Matrix and Analysis (comes from researching the firm, industry, and competitors). It is important to know the difference between causes and effects in the SWOT analysis. Causes are important, not effects. Focus on internal and external analysis when completing this matrix. This matrix should be based on research and contain quantifiable metrics. There should be 8-10 items in each quadrant, with research support for each item. 5. Once the SWOT Matrix and Analysis is created, construct the TOWS also known as the Bivariate Strategy Matrix. 6. Group Map – create this based on the firm as a whole or a specific SBU, clearly identify which method you chose and why. 7. Competitive forces analysis, use PESTLE and Porter’s Five Forces as the foundation for this analysis. Clearly identify the factors that are impacting the firm, research is required to support the position taken in your narrative. Place the results of the Case Study: Matrices Assignment in a single document and post it to the Case Study: Matrices Assignment submission link. Page 1 of 2
