Perform an analysis of Open Text by drawing on the case material (as of 30 June 2017). Your analysis can include information prior to June 2017, but do not include any information, report, or discussion that is post June 2017. Bear in mind that as a strategic manager you do not have the benefit of foresight, and hence your analysis for this assignment must be confined to the period defined in the Form 10-K as of 30 June 2017.
Address the following in your analysis:
-Identify and explain the strategic levels that the firm is expressing and assess whether the company has the competencies, resources, and capabilities to achieve its goals. With regard to the industry life cycle, comment on whether the strategies are appropriate to address the firm's opportunities and threats.
-Identify and discuss the forces that have shaped the firm's strategies. Support your assessment with relevant evidence drawn from the case material and strategic management theory.
-Identify and comment on the principal competitive challenges that the firm faces.
-Based on your awareness of the firm as revealed in previous questions, provide an assessment on the firm's strategic options, alternatives, direction, and outlook.
