Write my Paper on Business Strategy and Policy

Business Strategy and Policy

Select a major US corporation (a publicly held company listed on one of the major stock exchanges), obtain a annual report and perform an analysis of the company and
their customers. You should also use this time to begin researching your chosen firm by searching for articles and/or analyst reports from any of the major financial
news web sites available to you. Sites that I have used in the past have included www.moneycentral.msn.com, www.quicken.com, www.fool.com among others. My suggestion
is that you read the annual report of your chosen firm in an effort to determine a general outline of who their customers are, and what dominant business they are in.

and analyze the vision and mission of your firm per class discussion. Finally, try to find information relating to their general competitive profile. Some categories
to consider include, but are not limited to: Company Profile; Assessment of Vision/Mission (particularly important); Industry/Primary Competitors; Key Products;
