Assignment 2: External and Internal Environments
Due Week 4 and worth 350 points
Choose an industry you have not yet written about in this
course, and one publicly traded corporation within that
industry. Research the company on its own Website, the public
filings on the Securities and Exchange Commission EDGAR
database (http://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml), in the University's
online databases, and any other sources you can find. The
annual report will often provide insights that can help address
some of these questions.
Write an eight to ten (8-10) page paper in which you:
Choose the two (2) segments of the general environment that
would rank highest in their influence on the corporation you
chose. Assess how these segments affect the corporation you
chose and the industry in which it operates.
Considering the five (5) forces of competition, choose the two
(2) that you estimate are the most significant for the
corporation you chose. Evaluate how well the company has
addressed these two (2) forces in the recent past.
With the same two (2) forces in mind, predict what the
company might do to improve its ability to address these forces
in the near future.
Assess the external threats affecting this corporation and the
opportunities available to the corporation. Give your opinions
on how the corporation should deal with the most serious
threat and the greatest opportunity. Justify your answer.
Give your opinion on the corporation's greatest strengths and
most significant weaknesses. Choose the strategy or tactic the
corporation should select to take maximum advantage of its
strengths, and the strategy or tactic the corporation should
select to fix its most significant weakness. Justify your choices.
Determine the company’s resources, capabilities, and core
competencies.
Analyze the company’s value chain to determine where they
can create value using the resources, capabilities, and core
competencies discussed above.
Use at least three (3) quality references. Note: Wikipedia and
other Websites do not quality as academic resources.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size
12), with one-inch margins on all sides; references must follow
APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for
any additional instructions.
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 page length.
