Strategic Management and Strategic Competitiveness

Choose one (1) public corporation in an industry in the U.S with which you are familiar from this list (http://www.forbes.com/global2000/list/ )  . Research the company on
its own Website, the public filings on the Securities and Exchange Commission EDGAR database
(http://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml), in the University’s online databases, and any other sources you can
find. The annual report will often provide insights that can help address some of these questions.

Write a four to six (4-6) page paper in which you:

1. Assess how globalization and technology changes have impacted the corporation you
   researched.

2. Apply the industrial organization model and the resource-based model to determine how your
   corporation could earn above-average returns.

3. Assess how the vision statement and mission statement of the corporation influence its overall
   success.

4. Evaluate how each category of stakeholder impacts the overall success of this corporation.

5. Use at least two (2) quality references. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not quality as
   academic resources.
