Generic Strategy Recommendations
Given what you have learned from your internal and external analysis of the organization, are they pursuing the right strategy? If so, why? If not, what might you recommend? Is the recommended (or current) strategy the right "fit" for the environment in which the organization competes? Be sure to select one of Porter's three generic strategies: Cost Leadership, Differentiation, or Focus and provide your rationale.
Organization Design Recommendations
Is the organization optimally designed (structured) for either your recommended or their current strategy? For example, if they are pursuing a Cost Leadership strategy do they have a low-cost operating model? The objective here is to determine and demonstrate the degree of "fit" between strategy and structure.
Ethical Considerations
What are some of the ethical considerations for your recommended (or current) strategy? Is the organization positioned for long-term sustainability? Are there issues which may ultimately affect the organization's ability to attract and retain talented employees or maintain the credibility of their brand? Are there potential ethical dilemmas in executing any recommended changes? The need to potentially lay-off thousands of workers or stop paying for benefits such as healthcare to lower operating expenses, for example?
