Assignment #1: 2 page case study
Implementation Plan: Part 1
During Unit IV, VI, and VIII, you will be working on an implementation plan for a business. The components within these three units combined will create this plan.
Please take a look at the 30 case studies located in your textbook on pages 370–625. There are multiple corporations that provide a large array of services and products. Please select one of these 30 organizations that interests you. You will use this company for the Unit VI and Unit VIII assignments, as well.
For Part 1, describe the company that you selected, the products/services they offer, and the history of the company. Next, analyze the company’s strategy, mission, and organizational structure. In your analysis, include the information below.
- What does the strategy, mission, and organizational structure say about the company?
- What are the positive aspects of the strategy, mission, and organizational structure?
- What are the company’s short-term and long-term goals?
- What are ways to improve the strategy, mission, and organizational structure?
You will need to reference your textbook and at least one outside source for this assignment. You are encouraged to utilize the CSU Online Library, but you may also use external sources, as long as the source is reliable.
Your project must be a minimum of two full pages in length, not counting the title and reference pages. Include an introduction paragraph.
Assignment #2: 3 page project
Implementation Plan: Part 2
In Unit IV, you started to create an implementation plan. You selected a company and analyzed their strategy and mission. In Unit VI, we will continue your work with this company and develop a SWOT analysis.
Remember that a SWOT analysis identifies strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of an organization. This is an important analysis for any organization as it can be used for strategic planning. Your SWOT analysis must be a minimum of two pages in length. Once you have completed your SWOT analysis, write a minimum of one page, explaining how this information could be used by the company.
Please use the template below to complete the SWOT analysis and explanation. Save the template using your last name and student ID. For example, John Smith whose student ID is 12345 would save his assignment as Smith12345. The information you need to complete this analysis can be found in the case studies located in your textbook on pages 370-625. You will need to reference your textbook and at least one outside source for this assignment. You are encouraged to utilize the CSU Online Library, but you may also use external sources, as long as the source is reliable.

Assignment #3: 3 page project
Implementation Plan: Part 3
For the final assignment of this course, you will continue your work with the company you used in Unit IV and Unit VI. For the Unit VIII Project, you will complete the final components of your implementation plan.

- internal and external issues,

- future outlook for the organization, and
- implementation of tools for measuring business success.
Much of the information you will need to complete this segment can be found in the case study in the textbook. However, you will also need to conduct some outside research. For the future of the organization, you may be creative and add your own insight on where you see the company going. You will need to reference your textbook and at least one outside source for this assignment. You are encouraged to utilize the CSU Online Library, but you may also use external sources, as long as the source is reliable.
Your project must be a minimum of three full pages in length, not counting the title and reference pages. Make certain to include an introductory paragraph.
