The purposes of the strategic analysis project are to (1) evaluate your ability to apply strategic management tools and concepts you are learning in the course as well as concepts from other business courses and (2) give you an opportunity to polish your critical thinking and writing skills in a comprehensive report. For the project, you will select a publicly-traded company. The only restriction is that you may not select any companies featured in the cases at the end of the textbook. (See the textbook table of contents for a list of cases/companies). You must let me know which company you select no later than October 1. (You are responsible for meeting this deadline by emailing me the information if you are not in class on October 1). ? For each day late in submitting your company, 5 points will be deducted from your project grade. The final paper must be submitted to the dropbox by the December 10 deadline. Papers will not be accepted by email. The date uploaded to the dropbox is the date submitted. You have 12 weeks to work on this project, so there is no reason to ask for or expect a deadline extension. ? If a deadline extension is granted, for each day or partial day submitted late, 25 points will be deducted from your project grade. As you are working on your project, you may discuss your ideas with other students and I encourage you to do so, but the work you submit must be your own.
