Great work and good communication! Great Team, easy to work with. Super efficient and Good expert too, Strongly recommend! And most important thanks a lot to accept my case of revision even after 1 month. No other service entertain like this. thanks once more.

Again thank you, for such speedy work. Just wanted to know if you used only the case study to answer the questions. I included that on one of the papers i submitted, are they about Dominoes Pizza or just from other information to support the case. The information for Dominoes Pizza can only come from the case because they require us to use only this version, it was included that only information from the case study for dominoes is suppose to be used, Please confirm it that you have provided the solution in same, so i can submit the solution

Word Limit: Word Length: no longer than 4000 words The word limit excludes appendices and bibliography. Where a submission exceeds the stated word limit the maximum mark awarded will be 40%. Late submission will normally be capped at 40%. Appendices can be a useful to provide additional information from your analysis provided that the key points are incorporated into the main body of the answer text.

As you prepare your case analysis there are a few other points you must take into account. • A case analysis is not a conceptual explanation or discussion so do not spend too much time on conceptual explanation, instead your focus should be on how the concepts are used to analyse the case events and reach evaluative judgments. • Always draw on evidence from the case to support your analysis and conclusions. Using evidence without analysis will amount to describing what has happened in the case and will not gain many marks. • It is critically important that if you use quotes from the case or academic texts, you do so selectively and they must be placed in quotation marks and referenced appropriately. • The case was published in 2012 and you should answer the questions in terms of the information presented in the case up to this time. You are not required to go beyond the case end date since your analysis and judgement are being assessed at this point, not in the light of subsequent events. As a result, you should not include references on Domino’s Pizza from sources other than those contained in the case.

support each growth option and make recommendations on how they should use these capabilities to implement future growth options. Assessment criteria Below we give you a schedule which is used as the basis for marking your assignment in Strategic Management. This will help you to judge what you need to do to achieve any given mark range. CLASS 1 • 90-100% - An outstanding answer showing an excellent understanding of the issues and methodologies; original, independent thinking informs an answer based upon rigorous clearly directed argument accurately supported by evidence; close to perfection and could not be bettered at undergraduate level in the time available. • 80-89% - An answer demonstrating an excellent level of understanding of the issues and methodologies. The answer displays independent thought, and strong and very well organised argument, demonstrating the ability to integrate a wide range of techniques. • 70-79% - An answer showing most (although not necessarily all) of the above criteria

• Based on the linkages, select those which are CCs and show how they meet the VRIN criteria to be a CC (see the textbook, chapter 3.3, pg.54-59). Most organisations are likely to have only a few CCs. Firms with limited competitive advantage may only have potential CCs which are still under development but have not yet yielded the superior returns associated with competitive advantage. The focus of your answer is on Internal analysis, the S & W of a SWOT not the external analysis (O & T) and is covered in Unit 3. You should read your textbook, Johnson et al chapter 3 and follow the stages of analysis above. Question 4 focuses on how Domino’s Pizza has used their capabilities to grow the business. You are asked to focus on three of the options in Ansoff’s matrix which are explained in your textbook and in Unit 5. The three options are market penetration, market development and product development. In your value chain analysis in question 3 you will have identified capabilities which they have used to support these strategies and in your answer to this question you should highlight how these capabilities

To answer question 2, you need to review Porter’s Five Forces model (Unit 2). Specifically, the five forces which enable you to determine the overall attractiveness of the Pizza industry within which Domino’s Pizza operates. At this stage, your review of the competitive rivalry will be helpful in determining Domino’s organisational capabilities and core competencies which is the focus of Question 2. Question 3 asks you to conduct a value chain analysis of Domino’s Pizza. Divide your analysis into 3 stages: • Discuss each value chain activity in turn, primary through to support activities. Some activities will have more information to discuss than others. Explain what the firm does in each activity but extend your discussion to include a brief evaluation on whether each activity is strength or a weakness. • Identify and explain key VC linkages as an intermediary stage to identify core competencies (CCs). These linkages can be: primary to primary; support to support; and primary to support. The linkages are not only between two activities but could link 3 or 4 activities.

The assessment feedback sheet provides the marking criteria for the overall case analysis. Adjust the length of your answers to reflect the % weighting allocated to each question. Remember that in writing your solution to the questions you must not describe what the case says but use the concepts to analyse the information and use the evidence/facts in the case to support your analysis. To answer question 1 you need to review the PESTEL framework (Unit 1). Specifically, the external political, economic, social, technological, ecological and legal trends that could impact Domino’s Pizza leading strategic position. At this stage, do not focus too much on how Domino’s Pizza has managed to protect their strategic position because this requires an analysis of its internal capabilities (Question 3) and how they are utilised to establish a position in the industry which you are asked to discuss in question 2.
