A case<br \/>analyst acts much as a consultant would. You offer business expertise and objectivity.<br \/>Your challenge is to assess the environment and design appropriate strategic responses.<br \/>You will be challenged to analyze then design a plan which includes depth and insight<br \/>regarding the environmental and strategic analyses you will conduct, using business<br \/>concepts, strategic planning tools, and the value theory framework. Your use of quality<br \/>support materials, writing style and organization of data are important to your overall<br \/>analysis as well.Read the case once, simply to see what it concerns. Then, read the case again carefully<br \/>noting significant facts, examining any exhibits, graphs, tables, etc., and analyzing any<br \/>financial or technical data provided. Identify the issue of the case, being sure to treat<br \/>the problem, not just the symptoms of the problem. Your case analysis should begin with<br \/>a brief Executive Summary that includes a brief introduction of the situation, major<br \/>problem(s) opportunity(s), possible solutions, recommendations, and suggestions for<br \/>implementing a strategy. Remember do not rehash case facts. Though each case has a<br \/>focal issue(s) meriting special consideration, your objective is to comprehensively, yet<br \/>concisely analyze relevant business management activities. Finally, you are permitted to<br \/>make realistic assumptions; however, they should be tied to some real evidence (you are<br \/>entitled to your own opinion, not your own facts). A formal case analysis should examine<br \/>the following areas in sufficient detail:I. Internal Situation \u2013 resources (human, financial), past performance (firm,<br \/>SBU, product\/market), organizational factors (management, org. structure,<br \/>goals)II. External Situation \u2013 industry (market size, growth potential, industry structure<br \/>via Porter\u2019s Five Forces Model), competition (number, strength, strategies),<br \/>and macro environment (economy, technology, political\/legal, socio-cultural).<br \/>[NOTE: in addition to SAP\/ETOP, also conduct a SWOT]III. Core Competencies \u2013 what they are; how do they add value to the firmIV. STP business \u2013 segmentation dimensions, primary\/secondary target markets,<br \/>customer profile\/needs and positioning.V. Competitive Strategy \u2013 competitive position, competitive objectives,<br \/>competitive advantage.VI. Value Framework \u2013 (1) what external cultural factors influence this<br \/>organization? (2) describe the organizational culture or what the organization<br \/>values, (3) what do the firm\u2019s employees most likely value? (4) what do<br \/>suppliers of this organization value? (5) what are the most crucial customer<br \/>values? (6) what would third parties (e.g. government, unions, special interest<br \/>groups, etc.) value most with regard to this organization? (7) what do<br \/>competitors value most and how might this affect their strategy? and (8) what<br \/>are the unique values that owners of this organization have?VII.
