Guidance notes
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.

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.

- 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 support each growth option and make recommendations on how they should use these capabilities to implement future growth options.

Assessment presentation information 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.

FAIL • 35-40% - An answer that has some limited relevance to the question set, but showing little grasp of the issues raised. The content is descriptive and based on common sense rather than the application of analytical models • 30-34% - Demonstrates an extremely weak knowledge of the question with no grasp of the issues raised by it. Poorly constructed and poorly directed. • 0-29% - A poorly directed answer containing a few minor relevant points, and only a rudimentary attempt at discussion. Lower marks will be awarded to answers falling short even of this description, down to 0 for no answer. Note, that in ALL categories above it is expected that you will provide a bibliography (where applicable) of the material used in preparation of your assignment.
