This paper is for a Capstone Strategic Management course.
Comprehensive, Integrative Approach Societal issues tend to be overall changes or trends. Often, these are Legal or Environmental concerns. The FRED database can useful. Also, the General Social Survey database can be useful. Industry issues tend to be mostly unique to a particular industry. Often, these are Political, Economic, Sociological, Technology concerns. Where are the power centers located? What the power dynamics in the industry (or industries)? How are they changing? How are the players, or peers of the firm, changing or defending their relative positions. Firm issues tend to be broadly categorized by “level”: recall the three “levels” from the Strategy Story assignment done earlier in class: the business-level (“the core business model”), the product-level (“key goods or services”) or a functional-level (“crucial internal processes”). Strategy involves at least one but possibly more of these three levels. Depending on the strategic issues, teams will need to choose the right mix of those three. Minimally, a team will need to balance breadth vs. depth, quantitative vs. qualitative techniques, strategic formulation vs. strategic execution, and theory vs. practice. Different strategic issues require a different set of balances. Also, even if two BUS 497a teams chose the same company, the resulting analysis may be similar but not exactly the same. This is due to 1), the nature and complexity of strategic analyses, and 2), differing experiences, expectations, and perspectives of individuals and teams. Ensure that you elaborate on why your selected strategic issues are truly strategic: that is, how do you know that the issues are long-term in nature, are organization-wide in scope, and require substantive change on the part of many individuals within the organization?
