Learning Activity 1
In the readings for this week it was mentioned that each of us
live fairly close to a McDonald’s, Subway, Chili’s, Applebee’s
or Panera Bread Company. Each of these companies are always
vying to maintain loyal customers and to take customers from
one another.
Learning Activity
Choose two companies that are in direct competition with one
another and determine which of the four generic business level
strategies of (1) cost leadership, (2) differentiation, (3) focused
cost leadership, and (4) focused differentiation the companies is
demonstrating. Give examples that demonstrate that the
company is utilizing the chosen strategy. Explain why the
chosen strategy for each company is giving them a competitive
advantage or disadvantage over the other company.
Learning Activity 2
In the reading for this week you learned how the Boston
Consulting Group (BSG) analysis identifies particular divisions
that should receive fewer resources than others. It may also
identify some divisions that may not have a favorable future.
This learning activity will give you practice in developing a
BCG matrix.
Instructions

spreadsheet: Divisions, revenues, Profits, Relative Market
Position, and Industry Growth Rate. Down the far left of your

financial data other than what is presented below to complete
this activity. The purpose is to compare the units within
Disney. Fill in the table by utilizing the information below:
