Business-Level and Corporate-Level Strategies

Assignment 3: Business-Level and Corporate-Level Strategies

 

Choose an industry you have not yet written about in this course (DO NOT use Ford nor Walt Disney), 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 a six (6) page paper in which you:

 

  1. Analyze the business-level strategies for the corporation you chose to determine the business-level strategy you think is most important to the long-term success of the firm and whether or not you judge this to be a good choice. Justify your opinion.

 

  1. Analyze the corporate-level strategies for the corporation you chose to determine the corporate-level strategy you think is most important to the long-term success of the firm and whether or not you judge this to be a good choice. Justify your opinion.

 

  1. Analyze the competitive environment to determine the corporation’s most significant competitor. Compare their strategies at each level and evaluate which company you think is most likely to be successful in the long term. Justify your choice.

 

  1. Determine whether your choice from Question 3 would differ in slow-cycle and fast-cycle markets.

 

  1. Use at least four (4) quality references.

Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not quality as academic resources.

 

  1. Abstract must be included.

 

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

Critique of Quantitative Methods Journal Paper

The second assessment is an individual 2000 word essay entitled ‘Critique of Quantitative Methods Journal Paper’ and represents 60% of the total assessment for this course. This assignment builds on your weekly seminar papers for discussion and is concerned with critically evaluating and interpreting a business and management journal article that adopts quantitative methodology.
You are asked to interpret and evaluate the following journal paper attached with this assignment:
Aalbers, R., Dolfsma, W., Koppius, O., (2013), Individual connectedness in innovation networks: On the role of individual motivation, Research Policy, Vol. 42, pp. 624-634.
Areas for discussion within the essay are:
? Introduction: Key research gaps that the paper is trying to fill
? Brief description of current theory and empirical research illustrating incoherencies, inconsistencies and uncertainties
? The nature of sample used in the study and an appraisal of its fit for the research question as well as its shortcomings
? The major part of your paper (at least 1000 words) is to describe the most significant statistics in the paper and what they mean
? Conclusions: Discuss how the researchers could have done the study differently. Here I’m looking for your creative thinking especially linked to seminar discussions of other papers during this course.
I would like you to appraise the journal article in your own words rather than copying material straight from the paper. This will show me that you have thought about the paper deeply and developed your own understanding. This exercise is aimed at helping you deconstruct quantitative journal articles and develop a reflexive critique towards future articles you may read on your undergraduate programme.

Performance Review

Writing a negative performance review – Elaine Bridgewater, the former professional golfer
you hired to oversee your golf equipment company’s relationship with retailers,
knows the business inside and out. As a former touring pro, she has unmatched credibility. She also has seemingly boundless energy,
solid technical knowledge, and an engaging personal style. Unfortunately, she hasn’t been quite as attentive as she needs to be when it comes to communicating with retailers. You’ve been getting
complaints about voice-mail messages gone unanswered for days, confusing e-mail
that require two or three rounds of clarification, and reports that are haphazardly thrown together. As valuable as Bridgewater’s other skills are,
she’s going to cost the company sales if this goes on much longer. The retail channel is vital to your company’s
survival, and she’s the employee most involved in the channel.

TASK: Draft a brief (one page maximum) informal
performance appraisal and improvement plan for Bridgewater. Be sure to compliment her on the areas in
which she excels, but don’t shy away form highlighting the areas that need to
improve, too:
punctual response to customer messages: clear writing: and
careful revision, production, and proofreading.
Use what you’ve learned (as seen below) to supply any additional advice
about the importance of these skills.

* Confront the problem right away.
* Plan your message.
* Deliver the message in private.
* Focus on the problem.
* Ask for a commitment from the employee.
* Maintain an objective and unbiased tone.
* Use nonjudgmental language.
* Make sure negative feedback is documented and shared with the employee.
* Don’t avoid confrontations by withholding negative feedback.

Email Message

Xtremity Plus is known for its extreme-sports products. The Looney Launch is an aluminum and fiberglass contraption that quickly unfolds to create the ultimate bicycle jump. The product has been selling as fast as you can make it, even though it comes plastered with warning labels proclaiming that its use is inherently dangerous.
As XtremityPlus’s CEO, you were nervous about introducing this product, and your fears were just confirmed: You’ve been notified of the first lawsuit by a parent whose child broke several bones after crash-landing off a Looney Launch.

TASK: Write an email message to retailers, explaining that the Looney Launch is being removed from the market and explaining why you’ve reached this decision. Apologize for temporary disruption this will cause to their business but emphasize this is the right decision from legal and social perspectives. Thank them for their continuing efforts and assure them your company will continue to offer exciting and innovative products.
