MGT 4337: Business Policy and Decision Making
Module 3 Analysis Artifacts Worksheet: Decision Years 13–14
Overview: Your submission must include evidence of the analysis tools that your team used to make decisions in this simulation. For the simulation rounds in this module, you will submit a Pricing Analysis and an Overall Summative Analysis as your required artifacts.
Directions: Download and save a copy of this document so you can edit the sections below. Complete this worksheet and submit it as evidence of your analysis artifacts.
1. Industry Outlook Analysis: Begin by reflecting on the last three analyses you performed (Driving Forces, Key Success Factors, Five Force Analysis), and think about what the future might look like for your industry. Is it a good industry in which to be competing? See Chapter 3 for information on this analysis tool. Specifically, this analysis artifact should address the following:
|
What is the overall impact of the industry’s driving forces? |
|
|
What is the overall impact of the industry’s KSFs? |
|
|
What is the overall impact of the five forces in the industry? |
|
|
Taken together, how do the combined impact of these analyses inform your strategy? |
|
2. Current Strategy Analysis: After completing the Decision Year 14 simulation, you will submit a Current Strategy Analysis. The stronger a company’s current overall performance, the less likely the need for radical strategy changes. The weaker a company’s performance and/or the faster the changes in its external situation, the more its current strategy must be questioned.
To complete this analysis, address the following:
|
From a qualitative perspective, how complete and consistent is your current strategy? |
|

|
|
|
