o conduct a global industry comparative analysis that will help develop the strategy for expanding your organization's products into a new country (Netherlands)

Your task is to conduct a global industry comparative analysis that will help develop the strategy for expanding your organization’s products into a new country (Netherlands). Note that the term products will refer to products, services, or a combination of the two.
In this fictional market expansion, your analysis will examine a real-life organization. To accomplish this task, you need to identify and assess the risks that your organization may encounter, such as market barriers and competition, as well as opportunities for success in the selected country. As the general manager for strategy, you have been tasked with the following:
· Analyze your organization’s resources and capabilities (organization profile).
· Evaluate the external environment, specifically the industry in which your organization operates (industry analysis).
· Select a new country as a market for expanding your organization’s products (country risk assessment). You will select one country from the provided list and assess the risks associated with doing business in that country, including risks presented by its economic, political, and cultural environments.
Based on your research, in three weeks you will make a recommendation to your senior vice president and CEO on expanding into this new market. Be sure to budget enough time for each of the 13 steps.
When you submit your project, your work will be evaluated using the competencies listed below. You can use the list below to self-check your work before submission.
Subject: targetting an 8-10% annual revenue increase
Hi,
Thanks for taking on this task for me. Here are the details—
This project will have three parts. Your first task is to conduct a thorough analysis of our resources and capabilities. This organization profile needs to address our existing strategy, people, skill sets, and what we can do to increase our market share and profitability. We know we won’t be able to make that 8 percent target domestically, so we need to set up shop overseas and tap into foreign customers. We’ll need a strategy, an analysis of the global competitors trading in our target market today, an overview of potential stakeholders, and an evaluation of our own capabilities. Finally, we must lay the analytical groundwork for what could become a fully developed business plan.
Although this is a major initiative, keep in mind that cost reduction is important. Assess what resources and personnel in the organization today can facilitate this move.
The second part of this project is to conduct an industry analysis to evaluate the external environment, including international competitors across our industry. How difficult will it be to enter a new international market from a position of strength? What should we produce that is both attractive to our customers and competitive in the new market? Are there any legal and regulatory issues we need to be aware of in the United States or abroad? In short, how can we best compete against those firms already doing business in our proposed area? How do we differentiate ourselves from them? What can we produce that our new country’s customers will want to buy? What about the potential to export from that country?
Finally, we’ll need a new country risk assessment. Which is the best country to expand into? Our strategy people have created a list of possibilities, but you will direct the analysis. It will be a new market for us—do not assume we have any infrastructure there. What are the risks in the proposed area and how can we mitigate those risks?
We need to be aware of legal, cultural, and market forces. You can recommend an expansion of our products into your chosen country, establish new value-chain activities, or strategize some combination of the two. That’s your call. You need to choose a country that will be the best fit for what we do and who we are.
Keep in mind that cost reduction is important. Let’s also look at countries that don’t demand wholesale re-engineering of our organizational processes. We need to expand, but let’s minimize risk and avoid needless costs where we can.
I’d like to see your report in three weeks.
Best,
Gustavo

Indirect Writing Strategy – Formal Business Letter Format

Assignment
 
Indirect Writing Strategy – Formal Business Letter Format
 
You – as day-shift supervisor of the mechanics on staff at Capital City Ford – a dealership that provides auto service and repair, have been asked to temporarily look after the responsibilities of the Office Manager, who has been called away for a four-week period on emergency leave.  Part of these responsibilities involves written communications in response to union/personnel issues.  During this short-term replacement interim, you encounter the following situation involving one of the part-time mechanics:
 
Case:
 
Mack Wingham has worked as a part-time mechanic at Capital City Ford.  His contract calls for him to work three shifts a week, rotating between days and evenings.  Last week – in an attempt to make more time available to do construction jobs with his brother – Mack decided to request a change in status from a regular part-time position to a casual position.  This change would allow Mack to work only when called, and he would have the further advantage of not being obligated to accept shifts.  The choice would be his, enabling him to schedule more time to work with his brother.
 
However, Mack wrote two letters addressed to the Office Manager.  First, he wrote a letter to resign from his part-time position; then, a full week later, he wrote another letter to request the shift to a casual position.  In effect, Mack quit one job and then applied for a new one.  By resigning or quitting his part-time job, he has lost his seniority and hourly rate of pay.  If he were to be hired as a casual worker, he would have to start at the lowest level of seniority and pay scale.
 
Mack should have written a single letter, not to resign but to simply request a change in status.  He also made a big mistake by leaving a significant time gap between the two letters.  Because of very clearly defined company/union policy on this matter, you, as acting Office Manager in charge of personnel matters, legally have no choice but to accept the resignation and to offer Mack a casual position at the reduced rate and seniority level.  Ethically, you can’t “overlook” the letters and pretend you didn’t receive them.
 
Adapted from A Case for Writing by Kim Fedderson and David parsons, Toronto, Harcourt: 1995.
 
Your Task:
 
As acting Office Manager, write a letter to Mack Wingham explaining the situation:
 

  1. Use formal business letter format.

 

  1. Use Indirect Writing Strategy.  Remember to construct a “buffer” before delivering the negative news.  You must be very careful in establishing your tone.  If you are too positive, too phony, or if you fail to provide specific explanations, you will leave Mack wondering about the consequences of his miscommunication.  As the same time, if you are too negative and domineering, you’ll end up alienating Mack and you might lose a valuable trained worker.

 

  1. Be constructive!  Provide a realistic alternative which might help Mack recover his loss of pay and seniority.
