I’m studying for my Management class and need an explanation.
In your MBA program, you learned about how operations relate to business strategy and you learned how to manage business operations based on a global supply chain with diverse and geographically-dispersed suppliers and customers. This week, you will focus on analyzing your company’s performance and developing strategies for your products in the different market segments in CAPSIM.
- Use this week’s course readings and supplemental readings to define SWOT and Porter’s 5 Forces.
- Analyze your company in the simulation (use the financial measures, and all other analysis tools available, such as the Balanced Scorecard) to identify three items in each of the four SWOT categories. Then, review your company in CAPSIM relative to the other five companies in the simulation to determine if you can identify each of Porter’s 5-Forces.
- Choose one of Porter’s generic strategies for at least one of your company’s products in the simulation, although you will find it useful to set a strategy for your products in each of the segments.
