Question: You will use the same company case study for each assignment so that your capstone assignment represents culminating research and analysis. Select one of the three recommended cases listed below, identifying the problem or issue detailed in the case as the basis for your strategic analysis and development. Each case is located in the Cases to Accompany Contemporary Strategy Analysis section of the textbook.
Case 2: Kering SA: How Does Its Performance Compare to That of LVMH?
Case 3: Pot of Gold? The US Legal Marijuana Industry.
Case 12: Google Is Now Alphabet-But What's the Corporate Strategy?
You may also use the Strayer Library or the Internet to further research articles on your chosen case. The MGT599 Library Guide provides information about using resources for your research.
After you make your selection, begin your initial research. For this activity, you will start outlining your paper as a structure to guide the rest of your work, so that each assignment in Weeks 3, 5, and 7 builds towards your final plan.
