"Strategic Audit of a Corporation"

Please see description of requirements in Module 0: Getting Started.

Writing Assignment is to apply Appendix 1. A. "Strategic Audit of a Corporation", pages 32 - 39 to a company which illustrates said principles: TESLA.

The assignment is divided into two sections, First Section covering I-IV , and Second Section covering V-VIII. Each paper not to exceed two pages, excluding references, 11 point font, double spaced. When read together the two papers represent the audit. Papers exceeding length will not be graded and will receive an automatic D.

The sole purpose of this two-section assignment is to demonstrate your ability to synthesize Tesla in four pages max. applying the Strategic Audit model.

Please see Rubric for each Assignment. The paper will be graded on how well you apply the Principles of a Strategic Audit to TESLA, how succinctly you write and communicate the critical points, how well you show your comprehensive understanding of the creativity and innovation used by Tesla. And how well you use relevant graphics to make points. I am open to other forms of presentations and communications such as a video, but you must present me with your idea for my approval before you decide to do so.

You are encouraged to understand the totality of the assignment before you start any writing; once you have read and understood the Appendix, you are encouraged to do your work during the course of the semester. Do not leave it for the end. There is insufficient time to do so.
Hint: start with understanding Chapter 13 and then review Appendix 1. A. Once you have that fundamental familiarization with the foundations of a Strategic Audit, you should begin to gather information, do research, organize your work, to successfully complete the assignment in 14 weeks.

Resources: use the Internet, SEC, and any other company or public information. The TESLA YouTube videos, Tesla Daily (Links to an external site.), are particularly helpful in understanding certain aspects such as its strategy, mission, goals, marketing, among others. Be sure to credit all references so as not to risk plagiarism.

Use infographics to make points if relevant. Do not waste graphics to show meaningless information. Here is an example of a valuable infographic: range comparison for EVs.
