For a company to be successful, it must be able to develop and execute an effective business strategy. In Unit 2, you were introduced to different business strategies and the five competitive forces that a company must consider when competing. Draw upon this information when addressing this assignment.

Begin by choosing a company, and then conduct research and analysis on the company’s business strategy.

Based on your research and analysis of the company, answer the following:

• What type of business strategy (e.g., cost leadership, differentiation, and focus) did the company execute? Give an example of a high-priority factor it focused on in the business strategy.
• Which competitive forces have the greatest impact on the company’s ability to compete? Why?
• Was the business strategy successful in helping the company create or sustain a competitive advantage in the industry? Why or why not?
