Module- Case Assignment: PRINCIPLES OF STRATEGY
Overview
For this module, you will draw on the background readings to prepare a strategic analysis of the U.S. cable service provider industry using Porter's 5 forces model. Examples of competitors are Charter Communications, Comcast Corporation, and Verizon Communications, etc.
Choose one company and recommend a strategic direction for the company over the next five years. Your analysis and recommendation should consist of a 4- to 5-page paper (not counting the title page and references). You may attach charts or tables you consider important as appendices to your paper. (Like the cover and reference pages, appendices do not count in the final number of pages submitted in the assignment.)
To do this analysis, rely on the industry analysis discussion and samples presented in your background readings, including:
Kunc, M. (2019). Chapter 4 - Industry Dynamics. In Strategic Analytics: Integrating Management Science to Strategy. New York, NY: John Wiley & Sons. Available from Skillsoft database in the Trident Online Library.
For a useful industry analysis of the cable service providers to help you organize your thinking, use the IBISworld data base available through the Trident Online Library where there is an industry report.
McGinley, D. (2018). Cable providers in the US. IBIS World Industry Report 51711a. IBISWorld. Available in IBIS World database in the Trident Online Library.
