Tesla Gigafactory Case:
Based on the various frameworks and case-analysis thinking advanced during the semester, analyze the Tesla case that is attached on Canvas. That is, develop the front-end analyses and then link those findings to the viable strategic options presented (are there others at both the corporate and business levels of analysis?). This will lead into your ultimate recommendation.
Some ideas/directions embedded in the case to consider as you get started:
- competitive strategies of innovative/disruptive firms entering an established industry;
- strategies in emerging markets;
- rationale for international strategic partnerships;
- international trade effects on a firm's strategy and performance.
- This analysis will be worth 60% of the final exam grade
