Business Strategy Executive Summary

The executive summary is the synopsis of the complete set of Tasks. It is the part of the document that most people will read first, if not the only part, and it’s the only part that is likely to be read by all decision makers.

The executive summary should focus on

· a summary of the previous points from task one, task two, and the strategic implementation plan

· why the recommendations are necessary and why they are the best solutions

· the most important goals and outcomes of the strategic plan · a brief vision for the overall corporate strategy at EZ Pleeze

The opening paragraph of your Executive Summary describes the current situation. The 2nd and 3rd paragraphs are on the Mission and Vision statements.

Then you have a section on the SWOT. Simply state that you conducted a SWOT and that you found a wide range or strengths, weaknesses, ops and 11/24/2019 Writers Hub – Freelance Writing https://www.writershub.org/writer/orders/507078#instructions 5/7 threats. Give one example of each. Next is your section on recommendations. Give a full discussion of each. The same thing you said in your speaker notes of your PPT can be placed here.

Just be sure to change it from 1st person back to a narrative. Close out your Executive Summary by saying that if EZ accepts and successfully implements your recommendations, you are convinced that they will take the company from its current state to a more desirable future state.

Business Analysis Report

/in /by

Description This Portfolio Project emphasizes assessing and integrating project requirements in relation to user needs and organizational goals. Review the PMI case study about Refurbishing Heathrow Airport Terminal 1 with an emphasis on how you would assess the problem and integrate a solution in a different way. Project Management Institute. (2013). Changing the face at the busiest airport in the world through project management. Retrieved from http://www.pmi.org/business-solutions/~/media/PDF/Case%20Study/Heathrow_Airport_Case_Study_New.ashx Your task is to develop a 10- to 11-page report that includes the following sections and outlines your strategies for addressing the problems outlined in the Heathrow Airport Terminal 1 project. I. Introduction (1 page) II. Definition of the Business Analysis Process (1 page) III. Information Flow Graphic (1 page) IV. Explanation/Description of Graphic (1 age) V. Define the Project (1 page) VI. Data Collection (1 page) VII. Strategies/Theory used to Reach Conclusion (1 page) VIII. Justification/Explanation for Risk Analysis (1 Page) IX. Risk Mitigation Process (1 page) X. Conclusion (1 page) Components of the Project The introduction and conclusion are probably best written last, as the content of these sections depends greatly on what you write in the body of the report. The second section, Explanation of the Business Analysis Process, is a good thing to write first. In this section you will explain your definition of the business analysis process. You were presented with at least one other definition in the course textbook and lectures, but this is your opportunity to come up with your own definition and explain how you got there. This is also a good place to bring in references from other scholarly sources. The third section, Project Analysis Graphic, requires you to create a graphic that represents your business analysis process. Remember that you designed a graphic in Module 1, and you are welcome to use that graphic as a starting point—or you can start from scratch. Be sure to use the feedback that you received from your instructor when designing the model for this final report. The fourth section is where you explain your thinking and include what makes your model unique compared to others. In Section V you will define the problem in the Heathrow Airport Terminal 1 example. As we know, without identifying what we want to change it is difficult to measure success, and so defining the problem is critical. In Section VI you will describe the data that you will need to collect to ensure your project is successful. You will need to cover not only what data you would like to have, but also how you would collect/retrieve that data. Section VII requires you to explain which strategies and/or theories you used in formulating your solution. This is another section of the report where it would make sense to include academic references. Here, the project is defined, and collecting data for the important facets of the project are completed and explained. This taps into your ability to defend the validity and reliability of your analytical model. The final two sections are related to risk. Here you will justify the end results of the analytical processes, addressing any significant risk encountered along the way, and provide an explanation as to how any risk would be mitigated. After you have written the body of the report, you can develop the introduction where you provide an overview of the sections and your findings, and a conclusion where you recap the process and describe any limitations or difficulties that you came across. Be sure to properly organize your writing and include an introduction, headings / subheadings for the body of your work, an analysis andrecommendations (if applicable), a conclusion, and a list of references. Include at least five scholarly references in addition to the course textbook.

: Mortgage Approval Time Study

/in /by

Description Read the following case study: A major financial services company wishes to better understand its mortgage approval process. In particular, the company is interested in learning about the effects of credit history (good versus fair), the size of the mortgage (<$500,000 versus >$500,000), and the region of the United States (western versus eastern) on the amount of time it takes to get a mortgage approved. The database of mortgages approved in the last year is accessed, and a random sample of five approved mortgages is selected for each of the eight combinations of the three variables. The data are shown in the table Mortgage Approval Time Study Credit History Mortgage Size Region Approval Times (Days) Good <$500,000 Western 59 50 64 62 47 Fair <$500,000 Western 81 58 69 65 74 Good >$500,000 Western 38 52 58 60 65 Fair >$500,000 Western 146 159 133 143 129 Good <$500,000 Eastern 28 26 38 41 21 Fair <$500,000 Eastern 42 53 40 50 64 Good >$500,000 Eastern 49 31 49 42 38 Fair >$500,000 Eastern 106 115 126 118 138 First, conduct an analysis using the following steps: Use the data shown in the table to conduct a design of experiment (DOE) in Microsoft Excel in order determine the nature and magnitude of the effects of the three variables on mortgage approval times. What are the key drivers of this process? Determine the graphical display tool (e.g., Interaction Effects Chart, Scatter Chart, etc.) that you would use to present the results of the DOE that you conducted in Question 1. Provide a rationale for your response. Assess the data sampling method. Our sample contained only five mortgages per combination. Under what circumstances would it have been appropriate to select a larger sample? Is a sample of five mortgages adequate to access the relative magnitudes of the effects of the variables? What sample size would you recommend? What could you learn from a larger sample size? (Hint: Look back at chapter 2, 3, 5, and 6 for discussion of sampling.) Provide other variable responses that might be of interest to measure and study. (Hint: If you were getting a mortgage or a loan, what are the two and most important measures of the process you would have to go through?) Propose one overall recommendation to the financial services company, based on the DOE, that could help reduce mortgage approval times. Use http://research.strayer.edu to identify at least two (2) quality references to support your discussion. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.  Second, create a PPT presentation to communicate the data analysis you completed. Your presentation must follow these formatting requirements: A PPT presentation with at least 10 slides that include the answers to questions 1 through 5. A reference slide which follows APA format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions. Formatting of the slides should be consistent and easy to read. Cover slide containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. Please figure and analyze the problem

Investing a Nordstorm store in England Investment Project:

Use this section to describe the investment for which you are seeking funding, its costs, and the time frame. Specifically, you should:

A. Describe the investment project. Be sure to provide sufficient detail to give the loan committee a firm sense of the parameters of the activity, the need for it, and what financial metrics are relevant for determining success. In other words, what do you propose to do, where, what marketplace need will it fill, and how will you measure success?

B. Specify the resources the project will require and where these resources will come from. In addition to noting the amount of the loan you are requesting, you should also consider human resources, facilities, government approvals, intellectual property, access to natural resources, and other resources that might be required to carry out the project.

C. Time frame. When will the project start, what is the anticipated economic life of the proposed expansion, and how will you decide if, when, or how to exit? Justify your choices with appropriate financial metrics. III. Justification: In this section, you should analyze the impact of the investment proposal on your business. In particular, you should cover:

A. Why is now a good time for this investment given the global context? Justify your response, citing specific external factors such as trade regulations, foreign currency considerations, or trends in foreign direct investment that might affect business financial decisions.

B. Strategic fit. Use this section to discuss why the investment proposal makes sense for your company strategically. Specifically:

1. How does the investment align with the company’s organizational and financial priorities? Support your argument with evidence from company reports and financial statement analysis designed to persuade the lender that the investment is a good strategic fit for your company.

2. How does the project fit within the global microeconomic environment? Support your response with evidence. For example, would the expansion tap unmet demand for the company’s key products or services or fill a new niche? How do you know?

3. How does the project build on the organization’s core competencies and comparative advantage? For example, does the company have a strategic advantage from intellectual property, regional expertise, suppliers, or organizational structure?
