Paper Instructions MGT 3830— Mid-Term Take Home Case Analysis Assignment For the midterm case analysis, you are tasked with applying the concepts and tools of strategic management that you acquired in class up to this point to the analysis of a case. In your written analysis you should utilize the relevant topics, concepts, and tools of strategic analysis that we covered in the class to analyze all the information and data provided in the case to address the case questions. Please be sure to refrain from summarizing the case and from describing, discussing, researching etc. ‘what really happened’ (please also review the “Tips on preparing for case analysis discussions” that I provided as an appendix to the syllabus prior to completing and writing up your case analysis). Your case analysis paper has to be consistent with the following guidelines and need to be submitted to moodle as one Microsoft word document (*.doc or *.xdoc). The body of your written analysis should be 4-5 pages (may not exceed 5 pages); any graphs, tables, etc. that you wish to include to support your analyses and conclusions may be included as appendices that do not count towards the page limit for the body of the paper (2 pages maximum). Text should be formatted double spaced with 12 point Times New Roman and 1″ margins all around; refrain from using unusual fonts and/or altering margins, paragraph spacing, spacing between characters, etc. to get around page limits or try to make your work look longer or shorter than it is! If you consult any sources while preparing this analysis other than the textbook, you need to document these in a reference section. Failure to adequately cite any such sources may constitute a violation of the University statement of student conduct and may result in disciplinary action. Every written product or presentation you produce, now and in the future, will be judged both on its content and on its appearance. Thus, both content and appearance (including spelling, punctuation, grammar, and overall appearance) of your output will reflect directly on you as a professional and will influence the effectiveness of your presentation (and your grade). The analysis you submit should be of the quality that you would be willing to submit to a paying client who asked for your analysis. If your writing needs improvement, consider using mentoring services offered by the CxC program (for information, see https://www.lsu.edu/academicaffairs/cxc/writing.php). Also, when submitting the paper electronically, please name the file with your last name and first name initial in the following format: “GreckhamerT_FinalCase” . The paper must be submitted to moodle by the deadline, i.e., Wednesday, October 14, 8:00pm. Submissions received after this due date will not receive credit. The Case For this final paper you will analyze the case “The Chinese Fireworks Industry” (included in the case reading packet you ordered from Ivey Publishing. Your written analysis needs to address all of the questions listed below. 1. If you were Jerry Yu, would you invest in a Liuyang fireworks factory? Why or why not? 2. Evaluate the attractiveness of the Chinese fireworks industry by applying Porter’s Five Forces model. 3. Is the fireworks industry in decline or is it an industry still worth being in for the long run? 4. If you were Jerry Yu, and decided to make the investment, what strategy would you pursue to succeed and why? 5. If you were asked to provide advice to the Liuyang Firecrackers and Fireworks Industry department, as Jerry Yu, what would you say?
