FINAL PROJECT INSTRUCTIONS
Process to Complete the Final Project
The final project for this course is a course-long research process culminating in 3 separate written documents (word.doc) in which students will present their “research” on global/regional trends impacting a specific industry. This involves a multi-step process. Follow these steps in order to complete the project successfully. These steps are a mandatory part of the assignment. Please read this document very carefully.
Step 1. Choose one of the following global companies for your project:
Marriot
Toyota
AB-Inbev
Boeing
Adidas
Step 2. Download the most recent Annual Report from the Company website.
Go to the company website and find Investor Relations (or a version of it) where financial reports are required by law to be posted. Download the most recent annual report.
Step 3. Download all company and industry reports from Blackboard for your chosen company
These are posted on Blackboard into your “Company Folder” by Dr. Takeda. You will work on one company and one industry.
Step 4. Skim the company reports and industry reports to get an idea of the basics of your company and industry.
Do this first and do it within the first few weeks of the course commencing.
Step 5. Answer the questions in the Industry and Company Analysis Final Project Questions files posted on Blackboard.
There will be more than one file (3 in total), posted over time.
Final Projects Question Set #1 will be due in place of a midterm exam.
Final Project Question Sets #2 and #3 will be due in place of a final exam.
Questions will be very specific and are designed to get students to search the documents and find the relevant information, then, for a select few questions to consider what the information means (in a general sense). Some questions will just be to find and paste the information. Do not do more than the question requires!
Some will require you doing a little more online research. I will indicate where to find the information you need in the library system at http://library.csusb.edu/.
Step 6. Submit your files as Word Docs by the deadlines in the Syllabus.
Filename Protocol for Submission:
Your Lastname Firstname MGMT 405 Section # Final Project Question Set 1.doc (same protocol for Set 2 and 3).
This is an exercise in research in which you will be looking for clues and for specific information. The point is to acquaint you with Industry Analysis which you will be learning much more about in your future courses. There is no word limit to this because you will literally be answering specific questions that have exact answers. You can copy and paste from the reports into your word.doc in response to most of the questions.
