Business Strategy Report: Overview
Overview
In your Final Project for the MBA Strategy and Innovation module, you will, in the hypothetical role of a consultant to senior leadership, prepare and submit a business strategy study to the management of your selected organisation. This study, which will be contained in one document, is composed of two parts: (1) a detailed Business Strategy Report (which you complete first but will present last) and (2) a Strategy Recommendations and Evaluation Summary (which you will complete last but present first).
Your Business Strategy Report will provide an in-depth set of analyses, based on work you have done in Units 1 through 5, of the organisation's current strategic position. The report will also provide a comprehensive set of recommendations and action plans, with supporting reasoning and evidence. This cumulative report will be approximately 4000 words.
Your Strategy Recommendations and Evaluation Summary will distil and synthesize your work from your report into a 1000-word summarized version that will focus on calling out your recommendations and that will provide an evaluation of the strategy and its action plan details.
Thus, the Final Project paper will contain two major sections: the Strategy Recommendations and Evaluation Summary should come first, followed by the detailed Business Strategy Report (and its appropriate subsections). The combined work should
Section 1: Strategy Recommendations and Evaluation Summary (1,000 words)
In this section, distil and synthesize your work from your detailed business report in Section 2 into a powerful, persuasive version that will focus on calling out your recommendations and that will provide an evaluation of the strategy and its action plan details. Remember, your audience is the senior leadership team and you must write your summary to persuade them to accept your recommendations.
o Review all prior Individual Assignments and other relevant unit deliverables and extract out all writing and analysis that directly identifies action plans, recommendations or analyses in which you identified strategic actions that the company should be taking in the future to ensure competitiveness and consonance with its environment.
o Synthesize and prioritize these findings/recommendations into a powerful and persuasive, cogent set of strategy recommendations. If you can put a ‘name' on your strategy to help communicate and sell it, try to do it.
o Re-visit and prepare answers to the following strategy evaluation questions from Unit 3. These questions can help shape your summary argument and they should also be used as you assemble and develop your Final Project:
- Is your strategy, and the specific action plan steps, consistent and do all the elements align to support each other? How and why?
- Are the activities, skills, competencies, and capabilities that you are recommending tailored to support your strategy? How and why?
- Is your strategy, and the specific action plan steps, consonant with the current and future needs of the external ecosystem and stakeholder needs? How and why?
- Is your strategy, and the specific action plan steps, feasible, given current and future investments? If not, what would make it feasible, and how can the company reach the stretch goal (intent)?
- Does your strategy lead to incremental change within the industry, or more fundamental change within the industry, or does it establish new positions outside the industry or in blue ocean spaces? How and why is the scope of your strategy the most appropriate?
- Can you preserve any advantages your strategy may confer on the company? Which advantages, and how and why?
- Does your strategy position the company to perform activities differently than rivals do? How and why?
- Have you identified trade-offs and limitations that your strategic action plan implies? What are they and why?
