Using your selected business from the above list – you are to outline the key strategic techniques and tools of analysis that you would use to gain an in-depth understanding of the firm, its business, and its environments.
You will need to clearly illustrate the key concepts, frameworks and tools of analysis that you learnt this semester. You should attempt to identify why, and how, you would apply the techniques when analysing your chosen company, and you should indicate the type of information you would expect to develop from your analysis.
The requirement of this supplementary task is for you to demonstrate your understanding of the key components, tasks, frameworks and approaches that are used when analysing a firm and its operating environment.
Given that you do not have access to detailed data about the company or its industry you are not required to develop strategic recommendations for the firm. The assessment is not focussed on the accuracy and reliability of the data – it is designed to assess your understanding of concepts learnt this semester.
