Purpose:
The purpose of the individual case assignment is to provide each student with an
opportunity to research and apply strategic management concepts and content to real
world strategic dilemmas. Each student will individually research and compose a
compelling six to seven page strategic review on the brand Yelp.
Grading Criteria will be:
25% - Research and Insights (presence of deep, relevant research into the brand)
25% - Analysis (analysis of relevant variables, application of strategy theory, integration of
class concepts)
25% - Innovative Solutions: (Evidence of real thought and creative problem solving put
into proposed new growth strategies)
25% Organization: proper headings, good paper organization, solid punctuation,
grammar, spelling and sentence structure
Each paper should examine Yelp in great detail and provide the following sections.
- Introduction
- History and most important inflection points that impacted performance
- The current brand position, value proposition and key business-level strategies
- Current environmental assessment
- Three year financial (2014, 2015 and 2016) performance summary review

next five years. Each strategy should have a key performance measure linked to it.

the beginning of class on June 21st. (This represents a date change)
There is an automatic one-grade deduction for late papers.
