The three company reports are due at different stages in the term as noted in the schedule below and each is worth 5% of the final grade. Resources from the library that could help students with these reports will be discussed during a research workshop conducted by a library representative. Instructor feedback provided on these essays can be used to prepare for the oral presentation at the end of the term (details follow later). Each essay should not exceed 4 pages of typed material (Times New Roman, 12pt font, double-spaced, 1-inch margins), not including exhibits and references. The required content for each report is as follows: Report 2: Assess the internal environment of the company. Specifically evaluate its resources and capabilities and how these contribute to sustainable competitive advantages (if any). The analysis should leverage the tools covered in class (i.e., value chain and RBV) and also build on your analysis in Report 1.
