Strategic Case Study – Corporate Strategy
This Corporate Strategy assessment requires students to undertake a critical strategic analysis of a chosen organisation and develop evidence-based recommendations for its long-term growth and competitive position. The assignment is presented as a 4,000-word Strategic Case Study and focuses on analysing practical business situations through the application of corporate strategy theories, analytical tools and strategic frameworks. The assessment aims to develop students' ability to evaluate an organisation's competitive advantage, identify significant strategic challenges and opportunities, and propose practical strategies for sustainable growth. The report begins with an introduction explaining the purpose of the case study and identifying the selected company. The strategic positioning section then examines the organisation's current competitive advantage, differentiation from competitors, fundamental competencies and resources. Relevant theories and strategic frameworks should be applied to support the analysis. The external environment section requires a critical evaluation of industry attractiveness using Porter's Five Forces. Students must also examine the factors driving organisational change, compare the selected organisation with close rivals and provide strategic recommendations for addressing identified challenges. The international strategy section critically analyses the effectiveness of the company's existing international expansion strategy and requires students to propose a new expansion strategy for a geographical location in an international market. An appropriate internationalisation theory and market-entry mode should be applied to support the proposed strategy. The challenges and opportunities section examines major issues affecting the organisation, including areas such as market competition, technological disruption and regulatory change. Students must identify opportunities that could strengthen the company's competitive position and use an appropriate framework to consider the development, leadership and implementation of organisational change. The proposed leadership-driven strategy should also be reflected upon in relation to the company's strategic goals. The final main section provides two to three actionable strategic recommendations that the organisation should implement to sustain or enhance its competitive advantage. Students are also required to include an appendix of no more than 500 words containing concise explanations, models or frameworks demonstrating their understanding of theories and concepts relevant to the assessment. The appendix should support the main analysis and be clearly referenced within the report. The assessment develops several strategic management capabilities. The assessed learning outcomes include critically analysing a company's strategic position using analytical tools and theoretical frameworks; developing corporate-level strategies and considering their implementation and control; integrating innovative and sustainable practices into strategic planning; and using performance measurement instruments to assess strategic initiatives. The brief also aligns with CMI Level 7 Strategic Management and Leadership Practice units covering strategy development and strategic change. The submission is an individual written coursework assignment submitted through Turnitin. The written assignment must be submitted as a Microsoft Word document rather than PDF. Students must acknowledge and reference any AI tools used in developing the assignment and provide appropriate acknowledgement of all sources.
