Chopra and Meindl (2016, p. 33) state, 'Strategic fit requires that both the competitive and supply chain strategies of a company have aligned goals'. They further continue stating, 'It refers to consistency between the customer priorities that the competitive strategy hopes to satisfy and the supply chain capabilities that the supply chain strategy aims to build'.

You are expected to analyse the strategic fit being achieved in organisations. Your report needs to address the following details.

• Analyse how competitive strategy and all functional strategies could fit together to form a coordinated overall strategy. Explain the importance of each functional strategy in supporting other functional strategies to help the firm reach its competitive strategy goal.
• Describe how the different functions in an organisation need to appropriately structure their processes and resources to be able to execute these strategies successfully.
• Evaluate how the design of the overall supply chain and the role of each stage could be aligned to support the supply chain strategy.
• Describe how this strategic fit has been/ could be achieved in global organisations.

You could select an organisation, analyse and present the details or provide examples from different organisations for the arguments presented.
