You should justify your choices in terms of the chosen industry/sector on the grounds of innovation, competitive advantage and, company's sustained growth and survival. Your budged is £150,000 (BP).
DIRECTIONS AND HELP FOR YOUR ASSIGNMENT

In other words, although the basic components of the models used to analyze strategic management operations are very similar, you may develop an eclectic strategic analysis. Despite the differences, nevertheless, your strategic analysis should be representative of the foremost thought in the strategic management area.
