Context
The assessment of this subject supports students in developing their skills and knowledge in the foundational management topics that include external environmental assessment, problem diagnosis, strategy development, and the consideration of cultural and ethical contexts. Effective strategic management is designed to proactively respond to changes in technology, external environment, and market tastes. A contemporary understanding of the dynamic forces shaping strategic choices is essential for the successful execution and delivery of strategy.

Instructions and deliverables

1. Over the duration of the course, you are to monitor news and online sources of opinion to identify three (3) separate current strategic influences that together impact on the outcomes of an organisation of your choice. These influential factors may be local, national, or international in nature, but they must represent a changing or evolving story. For example, advances in battery technology, stricter emission controls, and a general move towards sustainable energy has resulted in General Motors (and indeed almost all car manufacturers) actively marketing electric or hybrid models for release in coming years. Note this example is not to be used in your submission.

2. You are to discuss how you would categorise these strategic influences and identify the implications for the organisation in question.

3. Drawing upon your understanding of theories, models and frameworks discussed in class, you are to identify a strategic course of action to address these circumstances (by either capitalising on positive influences or minimising the impact of negative influence) in a way that will result in long-term benefit to the organisation. This should include a statement of the firm's revised goals as a result of this change in strategy.

Students must not select the following companies:

• Aldi
• Amazon
• Apple
• Coles
• Commonwealth Bank
• Qantas
• Woolworths
