A Capstone Project Paper is due in Week Six.

Focus of the Capstone Project Paper

You work for a consulting company that has been hired by a wealthy investor who is interested in buying a new business. This investor has asked your company to provide an analysis on the industry of this new business venture, along with recommendations for companies operating within the industry.

Select one industry (and at least two companies operating within that industry) for analysis. Address the following elements:

1. Identify external environmental forces in the remote environment that are likely to impact the industry within the next three years.

2. How will these changes likely impact the companies you have chosen for analysis?

3. Analyze the industry using Porter’s Five Force Model (another model may be used if approval is secured from the instructor).

4. Make at least two strategic choice recommendations for companies to successfully deal with the forces operating within the industry at the present time and in the near future.
