  • 1.  Looking for suggestions for An Integrative( End-of-the-semester) Strategy Case

    Posted 03-31-2010 13:57
    Dear BPS Members,


    I am looking for your suggestions for an integrative case (preferably HBS) to use it as an end-of-the-semester strategy (Business and Corporate) case. The ideal case ,if it exists, would be one spanning general environment (STEP) analysis, industry analysis, value-chain analysis, business model, innovation and growth strategies involving strategic alliances, mergers & acquisitions. The goal is to have a case that pull things together and provides students with opportunities to get a comprehensive and integrated perspective on multiple aspects of strategy from one single mega-case.

    I am currently using the following set of cases for this course:

    • Computer Reservation Systems : An Industry of Its Own
    • Nucor at a Crossroads
    • Matching Dell
    • Dell Inc. in 2009
    • Starbucks
    • Corning, Inc.: A Network of Alliances
    • Nestle-Rowntree (A&B)
    • Lan Airlines in 2008: Connecting the World to Latin America
    • Charles Schwab in 2002

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    -Manish

    Manish If you were willing to consider a non HBS case, I would recommend the following case from Ivey Publishing: Restructuring CNPC and the Proposed Listing of PetroChina (Case # 9B04M043).

    It has many of the elements you require for an end of course case.
