Information Systems and Strategy Group Project-
This group project focuses on how an ICT consulting team can analyze and develop good strategies for their client company. You are required to:
-Present executive summary (around ¼- ½ page)
-Identify a client company as your project context (around 1 page)
-Analyze this eBusiness model and identify its opportunities, threats, strengths and weaknesses (strategy analysis) (around 5 pages)
-Propose future development recommendations (strategy formulation) (around 5 pages)
-Discuss potential issues or areas to pay attention when your client company implement the above proposed recommendations (strategy implementation) (around 1 page)
-Visualize expected outcomes of implementing these proposed recommendations or strategies (around 1 page)
You might find the following suggestions helpful in analysing the case and preparing your report.
1. Research your identified client company carefully and prepare an in-depth summary before you try your hand at doing specific strategic analysis. You might need to go through a couple of iterations before strategic analysis. This is a very important stage in preparing your report since the rest of your report will be shaped by the ‘nuggets of wisdom’ that you identify at this stage.
2. For each piece of recommendation that you offer, check back to see what supporting evidence you can offer from the company description and your strategic analyses to support your conclusion. Also check to see if there is some disconfirming evidence.
3. Make sure the strategy analysis results, proposed recommendations, implementation and expected outcomes are consistent throughout your project.
4. For each piece of recommendation that you offer, consider how it compares or contrasts with each other and how it t compares or contrasts with the recommendations from the subject readings.
