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:

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.

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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Determine the company’s resources, capabilities, and core
competencies.
7. Analyze the company’s value chain to determine where they
can create using the resources,
capabilities, and core competencies discussed above.
8. 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
