Management Report 1 – Environmental Audit
For the Formative Assignment you are required to critically examine both the micro and macro environments of your chosen company.
This means:
• Examining and evaluating the macro environment, stating specific examples of how these factors influence/impact upon the business operations of your chosen organisation.
• Examining and evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of the organisation.
• Examining and evaluating the opportunities and threats within the market place (this links directly to the macro environmental factors).
• Examining and evaluating the industry through Porter’s Five Forces model.
Please note that we want you to have the mind-set that you are submitting this Management Report to the Board of Directors for their consideration and understanding. Therefore it must be professional in both content (depth of research and analysis) and presentation.
This assignment requires you to engage with the business models and frameworks typically employed to undertake an environmental audit.
When presenting the frameworks do not simply re-create the diagrams. Your role is to apply the frameworks. It is perfectly acceptable to use a series of subheading to delineate the points that you wish to make.
