others…
(c) Make an argument! The argument will be based on:
a. Statement of the author’s purpose

c. Evidence supporting your assessment
(d) Base your argument on what is there, not on what you wish were there.

Notes:
1. You have to use footnotes to make references
2. You need use at least two primary sources from https://www.msu.edu/~mageemal/iah201/primary.html

Build on your first two papers. Plug in YOUR argument or arguments but do so using these two sentences.

By now you will be familiar with the guidelines above. Your paper must begin with our direct explicit thesis answering the

two part question that the course is asking. The rules from the first two papers remain the same for this one. This paper

should be from 9-18 pages, the cumulative work of all three papers.

To get a grade in this course ALL work must be done. Even if an individual assignment is submitted too late for a passing

grade it must still be completed.

Note on critical use of evidence.
One of the key concepts that you must master in this class is the use of your own critical thinking skills. Because someone

says it or writes it does not make it true. It does not make it true even if that someone is an author, eyewitness,

president of the United States – or even if they are a professor, even if they are YOUR professor. You will not get points

for agreeing with me or your TA. Instead you will do well if you evaluate the evidence critically, argue the case clearly,

decide what is relevant and what is not and are able to give a good, clear, thoughtful answer as to why you feel that way.

Read the news articles provided on Blackboard and answer the following questions. Look up at least two additional articles

on your own to answer these questions, print them out and attach them to your responses. You can simply use the keyword

search terms “nsa internet surveillance spying” and find lots of results.
• What were some of the revelations in your articles about what the NSA (National Security Agency) can do as far as

internet and telephone surveillance? Was any of this information new to you? What do you think about the powers that

particular agency has? Does anything concern you?

• Who is Edward Snowden? Briefly describe what he did and how he ended up where he is now.

• Watch the video interview of Snowden (a simple youtube search with the keywords “Edward Snowden interview” will give you

the twelve-minute video; it’s also available on the class website). What is your general reaction to what he had to say? Do

you find him genuine? What do you think about the justifications he gives for his actions? Do you think they are adequate

justifications? What do you think about his response to the question on why should citizens who aren’t doing anything wrong

be concerned with NSA spying?

• There are a couple of opinion pieces included that confront the question of Snowden as hero or traitor. Which do you

think he is, and why?

There is a quote attributed to Benjamin Franklin that says: “He who would sacrifice freedom for security deserve neither.

“What do you believe is the proper balance between our freedoms / liberties and our security (particularly our 4th

Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures and the right to privacy)? Provide some examples of what

you believe that proper balance to be. What type of controls / safeguards do you think should be in place to prevent the

government from overstepping its boundaries? Is this even possible given the state of today’s technology?
There are no right or wrong answers here. Basically, if this issue is new to you, I want you to try and get a sense of what

the issues are and finally, what you think about them. What I’m looking for the most is whether or not you put together

some thoughtful personal analysis and reaction to the material presented.

In this individual assignment I ask you to undertake a full case study analysis of a given company, which will involve three main parts:
Part 1. The analysis of the external and internal environment of the company
Part 2. The selection of the main strategic options for growth
Part 3. Your strategic solutions for the company’s ongoing health.

In the following paragraphs you will find advice on how to approach the different elements of case analysis in Strategy as reflected in the assignments. I will also give you advice on how to do well in these assignments.
Case analysis in Strategy

When considering how to analyse a case in strategy you might like to follow the model offered below, although you will find that your proposed text book contains more detailed and extensive advice.

Part one. The analysis of the external and internal environment of the company

Locating the company in its environment. This is where you set the scene, and so you should:

– Offer a brief overview of the company (from your own research or the case material provided).

– Put the company in its context, which will be international or global. At this point you will start using the various analytical tools available to describe the main opportunities and threats of the environment analysed. PESTEL is the usual tool employed. You should also analyse the characteristics of the industry in which the company competes and here you should employ the 5 Forces of Competition analysis carried out in some analytical depth.

– You could emerge from this first analysis with a PARTIAL SWOT analysis, that is drawing out the opportunities and threats facing the firm.

o After having analysed the company’s environment, the focus moves to the company itself by conducting an internal analysis where the objective is to identify the capabilities and resources developed by the company. This will be carried out through the application of some well knownanalytical instruments, such as the value chain, the threshold and distinctive resources and competencies framework and the VRIO framework. You should be able by now to complete the above SWOT analysis by identifying the strengths and weaknesses of your company.

o Finally, you should now be able to define the competitive position of the company in relation to the Generic Strategy chosen.

Part two. The selection of the main strategic options for growth

You should emerge from this Phase with an inquiry based view of your company’s level of business success and what it must do to sustain that success and continuously improve. Which are the main options for growth? To answer this question you can refer to the Ansoff Matrix and – if the company is part of a larger diversified corporation – to the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) Matrix. Somewhere in this phase you will need to appraise the company’s financial state of health using well-established measures of efficiency and profitability.

Part three. Your strategic solutions for the company’s ongoing health

Now that you have derived a picture of your Company’s state of health, can it be improved—what medicine can you offer?So Phase three is about Strategic options for the future. There could be many but which would you recommend and why? Are you happy that your choices are derived from your systematic analysis of the company at Phases one and two? Are they feasible? Can they be resourced? Can they be implemented and sustained?
