Wk3: Strategic Profile Analysis

This week we are introducing the main assignment for this course – The Strategic Profile Analysis (SPA). The Strategic Profile Analysis gives students the opportunity to analyze an industry and company from a strategic viewpoint. For the six-week assignment, you’ll be choosing a business that is publicly traded and providing an analysis of the company. To assist, I’ve included a website listing publicly traded companies: http://www.investorguide.com/stock-list.php. You will want to choose your company early. Two students cannot choose the same company.
For the next five weeks (Wks 3-7), you’ll post a chapter of your SPA each week. As each draft is returned, you’ll have the option to revise and improve it before the final project submission in week 8. The final project will be a compiled and edited version of the entire paper. It is highly recommended you read the below guide before beginning your work on this project.
