REPORT #1: COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE ANALYSIS
GENERAL MOTORS
1. INTRODUCTION
This project is one of three reports I will complete as part of the strategic analysis of General Motors. This first report focuses on competitive advantage analysis and includes the following sections. The first section will define key strategic tools and related concepts necessary to conduct a competitive advantage analysis. The second section will apply those strategic tools and concepts to the case of General Motors. The third section will evaluate the evidence from the analysis in order to both identify a major problem the company is facing and propose a solution that can be adopted to address the problem. A short conclusion will close the report.
2. CONCEPTS
Several strategic tools are used to determine whether a firm has achieved a competitive advantage. This section will define the concepts involved in SWOT analysis, value chain analysis, performance analysis, and competitive advantage analysis.
2.1. SWOT analysis
SWOT analysis involves an external analysis and an internal analysis. The purpose of the external analysis is to identify opportunities (O) and threats (T) in a firm’s external environment. An opportunity is an external factor that a firm can take advantage of to accomplish its objectives. A threat is external factor that limits a firm’s ability to achieve its objectives. A strength is a resource or a capability that is a source of a firm’s core competencies. A weakness is a resource or a capability that is not a good source of a firm’s core competencies.
The identification of opportunities, threats, strengths and weaknesses is needed to conduct a company’s SWOT analysis. SWOT analysis is a strategic tool used to identify opportunities and threats in the external environment, and resources and capabilities in the internal organization. The purpose of the SWOT analysis is to determine the extent to which a firm can succeed in using its strengths to take advantage of opportunities, minimize the impact of threats, and attempt to correct some of its weaknesses.
2.2. Value chain analysis
After the SWOT analysis is completed, the next step in examining whether a firm can achieve a competitive advantage is to do a value chain analysis. When a firm performs an activity, it creates value. Value means either low cost or differentiation. Value chain is a series of activities that take place from inputs, through transformation, to outputs. Core competencies are resources and capabilities that a firm can successfully use to achieve competitive advantage. The purpose of value chain analysis is to identify the activities that create the most value.
A firm should perform the activities that create the most value. However, the activities that do not create the most value should be outsourced, that is, purchased from suppliers. As suppliers tend to focus on few core activities that they are best at, they are more likely ...

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
