Develop a case study that analyzes the competitive position of an actual business organization in a technologically-oriented industry. This case study should demonstrate an understanding of competitive forces and principles applicable to competitive environments, including Sun Tzu’s “Art of War” axioms.

The outline for a;; case studies should follow this pattern:

I. Introduction – identify the company you are analyzing, determine its place in the industry in terms of market share, major competition, financial stability, and commitment to agility and research. Statistics about this company should be presented.

II. Strengths and weaknesses – How can this company most effectively compete for market share with its closest rivals? What are the current major strengths and weaknesses and how can this company change its strategy to improve its competitive position? What is the technology behind this company’s offerings and how is the company planning to advance the technological basis of its offerings and alter the technological approach? How do policy and tariff decisions affect the international market opportunities for this company? Are there emerging markets that could be entered advantageously?

III. Evaluation – What should this company do to improve market share? Are the plans being made by this company realistic? Is the company moving fast enough to meet changes in the technology and business environment? What federal or state government policies should this company be seeking to change?

IV. Conclusion – a summary paragraph stressing the suggested changes indicated in the Evaluation section (Section III).
