Business Finance Homework Help

Assignment: Read the Barber Cardiosystems case included in the coursepack.

Your job for this assignment is to assess the situation utilizing specific tools.

Assume your team are consultants hired to assist the company.  You will complete an analysis of the company’s environment and assess their strategic alignment.  Pay specific attention to the compensation system being used and its effectiveness.  Provide a report that highlights the analyses you performed, the problems you have identified, and the solutions you propose.  

Your report cannot exceed three pages (12 point font, double-spaced, not including appendices or references).   

For this report you will complete three of the following tools:

PESTLE or PEST Analysis

Your choice of the 7S or STAR model

Cultural Web

Each of these tools can be detailed in a separate one-page appendix. (One page per tool, for a total of three pages).

Most of this report should be your own thoughts and opinions.  It is important that you put significant thought into the analyses you perform to get robust answers.  It will be these answers that you use to support your identification of issues and ultimately the solutions you provide.  There are video lectures for each tool available to assist you in how to think about each analysis.
