Strategic Case Analysis

Strategic Case Analysis (50 points, 10-12 pages)

Select an organization from one of the two leadership interviews (from Capstone 1) to conduct your strategic case analysis. In the alternative, you can select a totally different organization that you have never examined or studied before.

Research the organization as necessary and develop external and ORGL program references to support your analysis. Remember that you are being asked to analyze, evaluate, and offer recommendations for an organization, like as though you are serving as a consultant.

Once your research is complete, begin writing the paper:

An overview of the organization- its origin, purpose and history. Any other significant facts that will be foundational to the recommendations can be included as well. Maximum two pages.

A summary of the organizational strategy. How is the organization structured? How will that structure change over the coming years? What challenges exist with the current organization structure? Maximum two pages.

Propose four different recommendations around organizational structure, health or strategy. Each of the recommendations should be specific in nature, detailed in terms of implementation and be supported by a concepts or theories you studied in the ORGL program. Examples of the course material include Data Driven Decision Making, Change Management, Ethics, and Process Improvement. External references are needed as well for support. Each recommendation should require a MINIMUM of TWO PAGES. This portion of the paper is where you make your grade so follow directions carefully.

Include a SWOT analysis grid only in the appendix of the paper.

Six references minimum are required for the paper. Most superior papers have significantly more.

Please be mindful about TAMUC’s academic misconduct policies. Copying from other students’ previous written assignments, not citing sources, submitted the same paper from a previous course (recycling) to get credit for another, and representing other people’s work as your own are forms of serious academic misconduct. If you commit any of these acts, you will face a possible charge.
