Assessment Description

Throughout this course, you will work on a strategic case analysis project. This project consists of different parts you will complete each week that build on each other.

Go to the “Strategic Management Template,” located in Class Resources. From the Strategy Club site, review sample strategic plans provided under the “Student Resources” section. Such samples provide examples of what your completed strategic case analysis should look like at the end of the course.

Every strategy will have associated costs. Determining how to provide enough necessary capital to adequately cover the projected costs is one of the more critical steps required to keep firms competitive. For each of the following parts, use your “Strategic Management Template.”

• Step 3: Determine whether the firm should use all debt, all stock, or a 50-50 combination of debt and stock to finance their market-development strategy.
• Step 4: Use your “Strategic Management Template” to complete the EPS/EBIT tables and chart.

• Step 3: Calculate the financial worth of the firm based on four approaches: (1) the net worth method, (2) the net income method, (3) the price-earnings ratio method, and (4) the outstanding shares method.
• Step 4: Use your planning template to complete the company valuation tables.
