You are required to write a 3500 word report including 200 words of an executive summary, but excluding references and appendices. You should also perform the following tasks:
1. Identify and discuss the strategy that the organisation (or SBU) is implementing/has implemented by examining its strategy statement and/or its value chain activities.

If the current strategy is not suitable, please recommend no more than two alternate strategic initiatives that the organisation should pursue and justify your recommendations.
3. Evaluate the implementation of strategy.
