Assess how potential value-enhancing strategies may pose risk to a firm.
Review your instructor’s feedback on the Strategic Alternatives Assessment and the Financial Analysis assignments. Use that feedback to guide your analysis of the strategies that you believe will provide the most significant opportunities for your firm to manage risk and add value.
Keep in mind that increasing value for the firm does not necessarily mean expanding the business. Acquiring other firms, conducting research and development, or introducing new products and services might fall under the umbrella of value enhancement, while in other cases it may mean downsizing, rightsizing, or even refining the products and services the firm offers.
