• This assignment is to be done in PowerPoint
• You should be able to do the assignment using only your company’s annual report and related documents (some companies split out their annual report materials into multiple related documents) as research material.
 

• Avoid at all costs: generalities, platitudes, gut-instincts and blah-blah-blah-ing.
 

• No fluff, Please! Good answers are specific and concrete, and use things like actual numbers, and identifiable products, brands, names and locations. A good test to see if something is specific and concrete (i.e., not fluff): if you read a bullet point/sentence and you cannot determine the company or industry to which it is referring, you need to get more specific.
 

The Questions
 

1. (15 points; 3 slides max) Generic Business Strategy (Intro; Chapter 5). Identify your company’s generic business strategy. There are two main tasks to answering this question: (1) choosing the right strategy; and (2) justifying this choice using company information. It is the latter that will largely determine the quality of the answer.
 

a. Identify your company’s generic business strategy
 

b. Explain how/why the company’s scope is narrow or broad. Remember that scope discussion should address products, customers and geography.
 

c. Where does its competitive advantage flow from? If it is a low cost leader, explain how it keeps costs down. If it is a differentiator, explain how it makes itself better/different/superior than others.
 

You will find it useful to use the 2×2 diagram used in class regarding generic business strategy. Use the company’s annual report (other materials are fine, but you should be able to answer this using no more than the annual report and related documents). Be specific and concrete in your answer.
