Week 1 through week 5 you will be a working as a consultant to a fortune 100 company of your choice. Your instructor must approve the company prior to you starting your project. The firm you select will be used during the first five weeks. This will allow you to build upon your research on a weekly basis. Each week you will be tasked with providing a paper in addition to a visual aid (chart, graph, infographic, etc.) to support your viewpoint. The topics will change based upon the material that’s covered each week. The paper will be two pages in length and follow APA formatting. The visual portion will be completed using PowerPoint. The length of the visual is up to you, but must support and represent your position as if you were presenting to the board of directors. In other words it must be clear, concise and convincing!
For this week’s written assignment you are playing the role of a consultant. First pick a fortune 100 company you desire to learn more about. You’re tasked, as a consultant, to provide the board of directors of the firm you selected with a brief, 2 page paper and accompanying visuals (PowerPoint). The objective is to fully explain why the company has been successful and will continue to be an effective price maker or if your firm is not a price maker, what actions need to be instituted to become a price-making firm.
