Revising draft essay

FEEDBACK:

1) In Q 1, you should have a statement of strategic intent chart, filled in with your research findings.

2) In six forces analysis, make sure your analysis includes research related to the Philippines for each of the six forces. Your analysis should not be such that could be used for any nation. You should show evidence that your analysis is specific to the Philippines.

3)This report requires conducting research and creating tables and charts with information about different partner firms.  You have not done that.  I encourage you to look at the same report.   You will need to completely rewrite your report.

· Develop a statement of strategic intent for your client firm, visualizing it one year from now, when it has formed relationships with all the three Filipino partner firms you are proposing, and explaining the vision, mission, values, arenas, vehicles, differentiators, staging, and economic logic at that time.

· Conduct a technological 3 M (monetary, machine, method) functional strategy analysis, organizational 3 M (manpower, material, marketing) functional strategy analysis, and ecosystem 3 M (manufacturing, motivating, manipulating) functional strategy analysis, for your client firm's business in the Philippines.   For each of the analysis, identify which of the partners has a market taking approach, which has a market seeking approach, and which has a market making approach to each of the functions, and explain how they use that approach with respect to that function. Substantiate with research on each firm.  Briefly conclude by deciding for your client firm which partner firm to use for which of the nine functional strategies.
