Assignment
This is the second part of business policy and strategy project. I choose the clothing retail company H&M as my topic. This project pages are 15 pages minimum, APA format.
The report will be graded on its effective use of strategic management concepts. The purpose of the assignment is to give students the opportunity to demonstrate an understanding of the process of strategy development and analysis, rather than complete a detailed task list.
Each company is unique as to its industry, its position within that industry and its history (think of the strategy differences between IBM and Whole Foods). Consequently, the areas of specific strategic interest will vary from company to company; I will NOT be providing a fill-in-the-blank template for you to complete this assignment. As an MBA you will be expected to be able to discern what is important from what is not, and I expect you to do so here.

2. References (very important)

a. Financial (annual report)
