Case Study Analysis - I would like to get direction on how to identify the Business Strategy of a company (goals, product market focus, core activities and value proposition) and then how to analyze the strategy by answering the following:
1) Is the strategy internally consistent?
2) Is the strategy consistent with the environment?
3) Is the strategy consistent with the present or obtainable resources?
4) Is the strategy consistent with the firm's organizational attributes?
5) Is the strategy consistent with the personal preferences and beliefs of top management?
I read the case studies and still have problems trying to identify what the strategy and if the strategy is consistent.
Detailed assistance would be greatly appreciated (i.e. what types of questions do I need to ask for each question above to get the answers I need).
If you could provide me with a sample analysis that shows a breakdown and how the answers were derived I would appreciate it.
