Analysis


 

Each student is to choose your own organization or one with which you are familiar. This can even be fictional in case you work in a secure environment, for instance.

  • Propose a major (= strategic) decision facing your chosen enterprise
  • Evaluate the decision, emphasizing its financial, project, operational and informational management aspects
  • Develop a plan of action for the enterprise to employ to make and then implement the decision.

For example:

  • One major decision facing Amazon.com, Inc. is which additional countries to enter to do business
  • One major decision facing Apple, Inc. is how to regain the market share its smartphones have recently lost to competitors around the world
  • One major decision facing Google LLC is how to avoid being charged as a monopolist enterprise in the United States.
  • One major decision facing Facebook is how to identify and monitor fake accounts that can be harmful to individuals and the public.
