result inside peculiar measure of case. In this management perform different actions that is based
on the planning, organising, directing, implementing and controlling of several function which
the company gets the achievable outcomes in a systematic way. It is one of the most important
activities that are performed within the business in order to accomplish the adequate project and
all its measures as well (Anmane, 2019). In addition to this the standardised output will get
achieved that has been set by the company by acknowledging the particular plan and with the
help of appropriate scope. It is a report which is based on SB as it is a business that deals with
the global technology and get established and headquartered in Washington, USA. Company is
recently gone to plan to perform the business transformation strategically thus this report is based
and includes the business case or the programme management. With the help of it the scope and

governance and stakeholders that get affect the supply management of the business.
OVERVIEW
SB is a company that is more based on the technological software development of US
and manufacture the services with the low cost and with that provides more reliable and durable
products and services to their customers. It has been placed in the Far East in the Western Europe
and with that they have the supporting centre in Europe that is based on the engineering
excellence. The SB will works with the motive and the aim to provide the best and diverse
portfolio to the customers by making the strong presence in the market by which more and more
customer get connect with them. Thus they perform acquisition with the WN that is the in house
manufacturing of the software.
BUSINESS CASE / PROGRAMME MANAGEMENT
As company is planned to perform the transformation process thus they get also faced some
different challenges to get compete with the better implementation and execution within the
business to get beneficiary outcomes from the certain programme (Bell, 2018). Thus there is
some different key concept that is very much needed to get make the better understanding of the

Hence, there is few key feature that is required to understand in buoyant and with this the
transformation process is performed in effective manner. Thus there are a lot of challenges that
are faced by the company and that are as follows as:
Soft Issues
Brand status: The Company will uses the transformation process by which they could uses the
relatable strategies by which the image of the business didn’t get affected. But on the other
hand the headquartered of the business will get closed by which the brand value will get
affected in USA and it is the condition that is not in the favoured of the company and they
somehow have to bear a loss.
Employment Jobs: As the business will get acquisition thus there is the loss of job opportunities
by which a lot of employees get out of the job by which it has the direct impact on the image
and value of the company (Cameron, 2019). The company get outsourced to USA from the
Far East. It get de-morale the employees and company might loss the best skilled and
talented employees from the business.
Hard Issues
Political Factors: It reflects the interference of the government with their different policies and
regulation that must get followed by all the organisations. As the business will get opened in
Europe by performing acquisition with the WN thus they have to follow a lot of political
factors. But after the Brexit it brings a lot of performing pressure on all the companies thus it
is more difficult to get expand the business and gain adequate profit (Political uncertainty
considered top concern among European investors, says EY survey, 2020). It is a cause that
has the negative impact or the biggest challenge for the company and to get develop
software with more excellence.
Location Issues: It is the issues as because to get manufacture the product from the reliable place
that helps the business to gain higher profit by get joins with the lot of customers. Thus
location is the biggest challenge while making acquisition with WN (Coghlan, 2018). In this
the business could solve it as the strategic objective and develop the product at minimum
cost and better quality by which the company receives higher revenue. It is the challenge for
the business to get chose the better location in Europe and maintains the appropriate
structure within the acquiesced business.
