I would like you to assist me in analyzing: The inputs at NutriSystem, Inc - consisting of Organizational Environment factors, Internal Resource factors, and Historical Tradition factors, [highly support, partially support, or do not support] the company's mission. (Choose the level at which the Strategy is supported by the other factors.)
Case Expectations: In order to make this case, you first need to identify the Key Input factors in the first three categories. You will also need to identify the specific strategy of the company. So the paper consists of these main parts:
- Environment (factors external to the organization)
- Resources (factors internal to the organization)
- Organizational history (Persistent Traditiona)
- Strategy (goals, objectives and strategic initiatives)
Identify and discuss the key input factors from each of the four input categories (at least two each).
Explain why these are critical (consider the strategy and how important each one is in providing support)
Make the case as to whether the key input factors in the first three categories support the strategy (classify the strategy according to Porter's three generic competitive strategies).
You will not be able to identify all of the inputs in such a short paper, so:
1. First identify the most critical inputs in each of the first three categories and justify WHY they are critical. Also explain what effect the inputs from one category have on inputs from the other categories.
2. Then discuss the organization's strategy and classify it according to Porter's three generic competitive strategies. How well does this strategy fit with the environmental, resource and historical inputs you identified?
3. Make a Case for your proposition as to how the Key Inputs support the Strategy. You must support your analysis with objective evidence. Sources of information for the entire project may include organizational documents and reports, articles in newspapers and trade publications, even interviews and personal knowledge (though you should corroborate this when possible.) Be sure to cite your sources and provide a bibliography for each module's case.
