Strategic Management and Business Policy

Strategic Management and Business Policy
You are required to answer all questions in the most complete way. Each question is worth 50%.Your answers will be evaluated on writing style, thoroughness of analysis, use of readings to provide support to your analysis (required readings are a must use), and overall comprehension of material. Remember that exams are strictly individual assignments and absolutely no form of cooperation or exchange of information is allowed. 
Only one word document. Note: Copy/paste the IFE and EFE from Excel into Word, when applicable.


1.Theory: Recent development in Strategic Management have placed a major role on strategies that include a Corporate Social Responsible approach to business. In their article Bowman and Ambrosini (2000) provide an analytical framework to clearly distinguish between value creation and value capturing activities as they relate to the firm. Using B&A (2000) theoretical construct please elaborate as to how a firm developing technology in order to become more Corporate Sustainable (Pisano 2007) is able to appropriate through either the development of a (sustained) competitive advantage or increase performance the gains deriving from the investment in innovation. Hint: this is a theoretical question!!! I expect significant use and consequently references to the course material, in particular the readings. Do not assume that the instructors know the readings, demonstrate your understanding and knowledge clearly. Use the two fundamental readings, Porter (2008) and Barney (1991) as your foundation. 

2.Case Analysis: Assume that you are the Chief Strategist for Procter and Gamble Foods. Congratulations!! The CEO and Board of Directors at Procter and Gamble is requesting your advice. The company is aiming at increasing its presence in the CSR segment of all markets it represents. Therefore, as part of your new responsibilities, you must develop a complete SWOT analysis and elaborate a set of IFE and EFE (3-5 elements for each component) with corresponding weight and rating explanation. In your analysis of the firm’s situation, you also have to identify the main problems/issues the firm currently encounters, with relation to the stated goal. Make sure to provide a clear identification of the firm core competence(ies), and how best the firm can use it/them to achieve its long term goals. Make sure to provide a clear and direct analysis using the VRIO and SCP methods. Hint: construct a thorough Porter’s Five Forces analysis and pay particular attention at the identification of market forces and market structure. Also, make sure to use the material from question 1 as well. Use this material when explaining weights and ratings.

Textbook used is Strategic Management and Business Policy, Globalization, Innovation and Sustainability. Wheelen, T.L., J.D. Hunger, A. Hoffman and C. E. Bamford 14th Edition (2015).
