Feedback
The Executive summary is missing
The introduction needs to include
- the purpose of the report
- the scenario of the report
- a brief background information on your selected organisation for the report
- the scope of the report.
Macro-environment:
THE ATTEMPT NEEDS IMPROVEMENT.
Need to properly apply PESTLE framework to analyse the opportunities and threats
opened to your chosen organisation. The attempt made here is too superficial as it
not clearly addressing the task. Also, the Stakeholders' analysis framework included in
the section is not required.
Internal environment:
IMPROVEMENT REQUIRED
In assessing the internal environment, the VRIO frameworks seem to have been
used but has not properly examined how organisation’s resources and
capabilities can be used to gain competitive advantage.
Microenvironment
LO3 NEEDS AN IMPROVEMENT
The attempt made to apply the Porters's five forces to explore the
opportunities and threats confronted by your organisation in the industry where it
evolves is not sufficient. You need to properly apply the Porter's Five Forces
model to identify the level of influence created by each of the
competitive forces. You can further summarise the above positive and adverse
internal and external factors using SWOT/TOWS model.
Strategic Planning
LO4 NEEDS AN IMPROVEMENT
In deciding the strategic options and direction your organisation can engage to remain
competitive in the future, you need to develop a strategic planning process by
PROPERLY using a range of theories. In doing so, you need to
interpret and devise strategic planning for your organisation. You can revert to
the lecture lesson notes/slides to address this part.
FOR THIS WORK TO PASS YOU NEED TO IMPROVE THE ASPECTS OF LO1, LO2,
LO3 AND LO4 INDICATED WITH BOLD WRITING ABOVE

Further areas to improve before the final submission:
- The originality score must not be more than 15% in the final submission
- Need to cite all terms, concepts, theories and definitions and include the sources in the
full reference list
-Need to be mindful of the grammar, spellings and punctuations. The use of spelling
checks tool and proof reading may resolve the issues
