I am providing you with an Excel file containing a complete case analysis. In this excel file you will find several worksheets (see tabs) with corresponding IFE, EFE, TWOS, etc, analytical tools useful for strategic management, identification and formulation. In addition, I am also providing you with another excel file for financial ratios analysis and strategic audit (See links above). You can use the excel file as your template to construct your Live Case analysis (make sure not to erase any formulas!). I am also providing you a template for the case analysis in a pdf file. This template should serve as a guideline to assess all elements that need to be included in your analysis. There is also an excel file that is useful to this end. In the excel file, please scroll to the left in the tab bar to see all spreadsheets used.
The final written document you prepare should follow the format but not presented in a bullet or outline format as is presented in Chapter 12. You should prepare it in a research paper format with main and sub headings and references. In addition, you should include a completed Strategic Flow Diagram as an appendix to your document see format provided in D2L. I have included a blank model and a sample of the College of Business Administration diagram as an example. It is of the utmost relevance that your report clearly and specifically identify the firm’s core competencies and how they translate into Competitive Advantage(s). In addition, a clear identification of Core Products and End Products is expected.

Please write a short essay telling me how you think this writing class will go for you this quarter. Use a title, use paragraphs, use details and some analysis; this is a way for me to get to know a little about your writing, but do not over-concern yourself with making it perfect. It will not be graded.
Consider touching on some of the following topics:
Where are you sheltering in place, what are the limitations you see in terms of access to technology, challenges of time zones or competition for bandwidth, or not having a quiet space to work, etc. What are your concerns and what do you think you can do about them?
What is your sense of yourself as a writer and how does having this class occur in an online writing environment fit with that?
What would you find most valuable to learn from this class this quarter?
Or, you can write about broader issues that are affecting you that you think will come into play: are you working? are you living with a lot of family members, including some who might be ill? do you have physical issues that make you concerned about whether you might get sick yourself?
As you can see, there is a lot of latitude here.

Each week, you will post a reading journal that responds to the week’s reading and viewing assignments. This journal should engage with the reading, not just summarize it. You may begin with your gut reactions, i.e. why you liked or disliked the reading, but you should also consider why you feel this way. The journal is a good place to draw connections between texts, raise questions, and initiate discussions with your classmates.
Requirements:
Journals should:
Directly reference at least three different readings/videos.
Utilize/explore/question at least two key terms
Pose questions for the class to consider
Make connections (between course materials and life, current events, other classes, past readings, the questions and observations of classmates)
Not repeat what others have already discussed
