Strategic Analysis of a Publicly Held Company
Team Live Case Analysis (Core Assessment due Unit 8) All Park University courses must include a core assessment that measures the course’s Core Learning Outcomes. The purpose of this assessment is to determine if expectations have been met concerning mastery of learning outcomes across all instructional modalities. For this capstone course, the core assessment is a team project that involves a strategic analysis of a publicly held company to be administered in all sections of MG495. This team project is worth 20 percent of the student’s final grade and will test students’ mastery of the Core Learning Outcomes through a detailed analysis of managerial decisions and actions that help determine the long-term performance of an organization. It includes the environmental scanning (both external and internal), strategy formulation (strategic or long-range planning), strategic implementation, and evaluation and control.
The teams for the core assessment project will consist of 3 – 5 members. Each team must submit the name of their company for the instructor’s approval by midnight on Sunday of unit 1. Each team will have a designated Live Case Analysis Work Area to communicate among members and work on their project.

Essay Prompt:
A theory application paper should engage closely with a world event/problem and use one of our “alternative” approaches to dissect it. The goal of the assignment is for you to apply one of our theories from the “alternative” or “governance” sections of the course to a real-world global problem or event so that you can uncover the strengths and limitations of the approach that you select.
A good theory review paper does all of the following:
- Has a clear thesis concerning the utility of the approach that you select to the world event/problem.
- Summarizes in detail the global event/problem that forms the foundation for your paper.
- Summarizes in detail the genesis of the theoretical approach that you will use to think the global event/problem and any key hallmarks and assumptions of the approach.
- A detailed discussion of the ways in which your selected approach explains and elucidates your global problem. Here you should discuss the strengths of the approach as well as its weaknesses. Also, given what you know about the approach, what does the approach suggest predict about the future of your selected problem? This section is the body of your paper and should be detailed and thorough. This is your opportunity to offer original analysis and it should be detailed and thorough.
- Persuasive, interesting concluding remarks that reiterate what we have learned from the application of the theoretical approach that you selected to the global problem. You may also include some statements here about other theoretical perspectives that could be useful in thinking through your selected global problem and how they might complement the analysis that you’ve done in this paper.
