Assignment Task: Need help with this assignment the company that I have chosen is Starbucks, they are further expanding their locations and entering foreign markets
In this assignment you are required to critically reflect on the strategic choices of an existing organization. To start, choose a newspaper article that discusses a strategic action by an organization. Chapters 4-10 of your textbook describe the many kinds of strategic actions organizations can take (e.g., entering a foreign market, divesting a business, horizontal consolidation, etc.). The newspaper article must be current (published after the beginning of the start of your ADMN 404 course contract), . (I have already chosen an article that talk about Starbucks expanding into new countries and opening locations)
Critically reflect on the appropriateness of the strategic action described in your newspaper article. The arguments you use in this critical reflection should be based on analyses you conduct using the tools from this course. This means that the newspaper article is only a starting point for the assignment; you are expected to research and apply information learned about the organization and its environment from additional sources. In reflecting on the appropriateness of the strategic action, keep in mind the interrelatedness of the strategy content and context. They key to a good analysis is to critically assess the strategic action taken. Just because an organization made a particular strategic choice does not mean that it is the right or the optimal choice. So, make sure you critically assess the strategic action, taking into account potential alternatives.
