Business External Analysis

Clearly identify your group’s “industry” then:

Task 1:  Take an initial stab at identifying and establishing descriptive boundaries to your team’s company’s industry.

Task 2:   Find or develop sufficient research/“evidence” for any one element of Porter’s Framework for your group’s industry and assess that one element

Task 3:  Speculate at what stage in its life cycle your industry is: what preliminary evidence would validate your hypothesis?

Task 4:  Explain what you did to DO tasks 1-3. (What did you ask yourself in order to know what to look at or for?  What did you DO to find good sources?)
