Company: Dana INC 
STRATEGIC ISSUES AND RECOMMENDATIONS

What are the strategic issues? Are they due to lack of resources or capabilities or are they due to the pursuit of wrong strategies? Are they strategy implementation issues?  

A starting point for understanding strategic issues is by comparing the competencies and competitive advantages required for success to what the firm actually has. A SWOT analysis done through industry and internal analysis as above is required for the company which you are presenting. After evaluating company strengths and weaknesses, and industry opportunities and threats, place the firm in one of the following four categories:

1.    Abundant environmental opportunities and significant internal strengths
2.    Abundant environmental opportunities but significant internal weaknesses
3.    Major environmental threats but significant internal strengths
4.    Major environmental threats and significant internal weaknesses

Clearly, category 1 is the most favorable situation.  The firm’s strategy should be to pursue aggressive growth that will use its internal strengths to exploit the abundant external
opportunities. In category 2, the strategy should be to eliminate weaknesses either by acquiring the needed competencies through joint ventures and alliances or vertical mergers so that opportunities can be effectively exploited.  In category 3, the strategy should be either to alter industry forces using the firm’s strengths (depending on the threats) or diversify into more attractive industries.  Category 4 is an extremely unfavorable situation. This is a firm, according to Porter, that has a weak competitive position in an unattractive industry. The firm should consider repositioning by moving into another segment in the industry or gain the required strengths through horizontal mergers.

Social Media Strategy for [YOUR CLIENT]

Assignment: SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY

Develop a limited social media strategy for [YOUR CLIENT] that you selected to work on this semester. This should be for TWO SOCIAL CHANNELS.

1. GOALS, KPIs, and TACTICS (30%):

Create ONE SMART Goal that is a communication goal that can be accomplished via TWO social channels.

THEN list in detail, THREE KPIs and...

LASTLY, what are the tactics that you will use to accomplish these KPIs and ultimately your goal?

Remember - GOALS are WHAT you want to accomplish and TACTICS are HOW you plan to accomplish them. For example, "launching a website to increase engagement" is not a goal - this is a tactic. Increasing engagement is the goal. What you do to accomplish that goal is a tactic. How you track the success of that goal is a KPI.

Look back at any feedback that I have provided regarding your GOALS assignment - this is your opportunity to implement any and all feedback.

2. SCHEDULE (25%):

Then put them on a content calendar to establish a schedule.

Note: You decide what your timeline/schedule will be - 3 months, 6 months, weekly, etc. Here is a great resource to help build your content calendar. It is an article from Hootsuite that not only contains tips - but provides examples of what a content calendar may look like - please be sure to review this article. Also, the site contains an awesome review of several topics that we have covered to date in class. Feel free to look around Hootsuite for any tips or clarification.  And of course, I am always here to help.

3. MEASUREMENT (25%):

Lastly, devise a measurement scheme to help prove that you have been successful. In other words, how will you measure success? Additionally, how will your strategy be deemed successful? And lastly, what will tell you that all worked out?

4. WRITING/GRAMMAR (20%):

The quality of your writing absolutely counts.

Presentation of your work also counts here. I'd like to see this as formal as possible (cover sheet with your name, ID, project title, course name and number, etc. - how pretty you make it is up to you. As long as it is professional looking - great).

The plan should have all the sections mentioned above (1-3) clearly labeled with appropriate headers. 

Implement a professional tone in your writing - no TXT Language or first person ("It is recommended that YOUR CLIENT employ the use of social media. A goal that has been set is ________. This goal will be accomplished by _________" etc.) Let me know if you have any questions.

TIPS:

    How long should it be - anywhere from 2-4 pgs max. This is a strategic plan, write it as such - clearly, detailed yet concise.
    This is not an essay, however, vague bullet points will not suffice - do not assume that I know what you mean - SAY WHAT YOU MEAN. Make it so that I don't have to ask WHY or HOW - or HUH for that matter :)
    Use relevant jargon so that you can demonstrate your command of the material. Sound like a social media specialist.

Please follow all instructions!! The attachment has the company you will be using to base this assignment on. It also has the smart goals that I already have done with the teacher's feedback on how to fix them.

Questions and Topics We Can Help You To Answer:
Paper Instructions:

You are to write up a case study for a company that uses technology in the workforce.  An internet/library search will give you a good idea about companies that have 10K reports, or even annual reports. You can not use another student's case study as your source of information.  You must create your own case study from primary documents, academic literature or even a news source. This case study must be at least 5 pages (1500 words) no less, and not including your title page and your citation page.

No one is to analyze Apple, Iphone, Dell, or Nike. They are too popular and there are too many repeat papers.  Try to choose a company that no one else will think to do. Think of all the ways you use technology and go from there.  



When writing a case study analysis, you must first have a good understanding of the company by reading 10K reports, annual reports, periodicals, and journal articles. Before you begin the steps below, research the organization carefully, taking notes all the while. It may be necessary to read the document several times to fully grasp the issues facing the company or industry.


The following sections should be included in your final paper:


Investigate and Analyze the Company’s History and Growth. A company’s past can greatly affect the present and future state of the organization. To begin your case study analysis, investigate the company’s founding, critical incidents, structure, and growth.


Identify Strengths and Weaknesses Within the Company. Using the information you gathered in step one, continue your case study analysis by examining and making a list of the value creation functions of the company. For example, the company may be weak in product development, but strong in marketing.


Gather Information on the External Environment. The third step in a case study analysis involves identifying opportunities and threats within the company’s external environment. Special items to note include competition within the industry, bargaining powers, and the threat of substitute products.


Analyze Your Findings. Using the information in steps two and three, you will need to create an evaluation for this portion of your case study analysis. Compare the strengths and weaknesses within the company to the external threats and opportunities. Determine if the company is in a strong competitive position and decide if it can continue at its current pace successfully.


Identify Corporate Level Strategy. To identify a company’s corporate level strategy for your case study analysis, you will need to identify and evaluate the company’s mission, goals, and corporate strategy. Analyze the company’s line of business and its subsidiaries and acquisitions. You will also want to debate the pros and cons of the company strategy.


Identify Business Level Strategy. Thus far, your case study analysis has identified the company’s corporate level strategy. To perform a complete analysis, you will need to identify the company’s business level strategy. (Note: if it is a single business, the corporate strategy and the business level strategy will be the same.) For this part of the case study analysis, you should identify and analyze each company’s competitive strategy, marketing strategy, costs, and general focus.


Analyze Implementations. This portion of the case study analysis requires that you identify and analyze the structure and control systems that the company is using to implement its business strategies. Evaluate organizational change, levels of hierarchy, employee rewards, conflicts, and other issues that are important to the company you are analyzing.


Make Recommendations. The final part of your case study analysis should include your recommendations for the company. Every recommendation you make should be based on and supported by the context of your case study analysis.

    Usually business writing incorporates APA format. Case length is not an important consideration in my grading strategy.

    The questions posed are meant to guide you in developing an analytical framework that you must present in a case report. Usually you can incorporate your responses in sections C and D described below. I cannot prescribe a single outline or template, but I can identify “building blocks” that are essential to building a logical structure that will stand up to critical scrutiny, and serve as a useful guide to presenting the results of your in depth case analysis. Essential building blocks and structure are as follows:

    Executive Summary

    Section A. Introduction and Overview of the Situation

    Section B. Assumptions and Methods

    Section C. Business Impacts

    Section D. Descriptions of Sensitivity, Risks, Successes, Failures, Contingencies and Strategies

    Section E. Conclusions and Recommendations
