Write a 2500 – 3000 word report, including 200 words of an executive summary, but excluding references and
appendix. In this report, you are required to perform the following tasks:
1. Describe
briefly the background information (strategic context) of the firm (or SBU) you have
selected. This information should be
brief and relevant to the discussion of your assignment and thus
may include ownership, history, size, business scope, major products/services, and major markets of
the firm (or SBU) selected.
2. Conduct a macro-environment analysis for the
entire industry within which the firm (or SBU)
operates. You should use the analytical framework provided in the textbook. Foci will be placed on the
2
understanding of the
purpose of this analysis, the identification of key factors and their implications
in terms of key opportunities and threats,
and the discussion of their overall impact on the
industry growth in the future. Draw your conclusion based on your macro-environment analysis.
3. Undertake an industry (competitive) analysis using Porter’s 5-forces model. You are required to pay
attention to the purpose of this analysis, the inter-connectedness of different aspects of the competitive
forces, the links between the competitive forces and macro-environment, and their overall impact on
the industry and the organization selected in terms of main driving forces in the competitive
environment. Draw your conclusions based on your five-force analyses.
4. Identify those resources and competences of the firm (or SBU) that are likely to provide sustainable
competitive advantage. Justify why these resources and competences can be regarded as strategic
capabilities using the four criteria covered in the textbook.
5. Identify and discuss the generic type of business strategy the firm (or SBU) implements by examining
its strategy statement and/or its value chain activities.
6. Evaluate the
suitability of the firm’s current business strategy based on the outcomes of your analysis
and integration above (e.g., the identification of the firm’s current business strategy and the most
significant factors affecting the firm’s performance, and your understanding of business strategy).
References should be utilised within this Report to validate the information presented, and should be drawn
from academic sources and organisational information such as the website and annual reports. The business
press may be used sparingly to identify relevant issues.
