Teamwork, or group work are core practices in business. Activities and actions always involve more than one person, regardless of the size of the business.
Consequently in management programs, students are required to participate in group assignments, and breakout discussions in lectures and tutorials.
In this assignment your group must find a suitable business case study in relation to strategic diagnosis, identification of gaps, strategic plans and strategies, and implementing them. Apply theories, tools and frameworks
covered in the unit. Your group must conduct research about the enterprise beyond what is revealed in the case study.
An example might be a case study about a major event that effected the business, such as the Samarco tailings dam disaster in Brazil, 2015. To analyse this case research would need to examine the various parties involved in the
event, be they the owners of the mine, the communities effected, the Brazilian government, and the markets effected by the event.
Critically analyse the specific organizational case study in relation to strategic diagnosis, identification of gaps, strategic plans and strategies, and implementing them. Apply theories, tools and frameworks covered in the unit.
