Context: Businesses which do not properly address the factors in their environment which affect them can succumb to pressures which they did not account for. Past examples of businesses which have lost a significant portion of their revenue, or businesses which have had to close entirely due to factors in their environment are common.

Objectives: Correctly identify a business which has made a loss or had to close due to environmental influences outside its control Understand the events leading up to this loss or closure, and accurately discuss the key factors which caused it Accurately apply course concepts to the key event(s) to offer an alternative path which may have prevented the loss/closure.

Condense findings into a relevant format suitable for presentation to a business in a consulting environment.

Linkages between Case Study (Assessment 3) and Presentation (Assessment 4): The business case study is a comprehensive, retrospective review of a business which suffered a loss or closure due to environmental factors beyond its own control. This report should be suitably structured to present on its own, but the presentation’s purpose is to provide a more accessible and interactive medium through which to showcase the data of BIZ202_Assessment 4 Brief_Presentation_Module 6

the case study, and the presentation should offer an alternative solution to the problem discussed in the case study, with reference to strategies discussed in the subject.

Instructions: The presentation will serve as an accessible way of collecting the information discussed in the case study, suitable for delivery to a board or investor group.

Additionally, the presentation will also have solutions for the issues faced by the company discussed in the case study, as well as a discussion of possible future business strategies to enable growth through consideration of the external business environment.

Present and display the background information and relevant environmental challenges discussed in the case study in a way which is engaging and succinct Offer a range of solutions that is broad enough to counter the major challenges leading to the loss/closure of the business Offer a comprehensive strategy for future growth of the business with reference to each of the four elements of the external business environment.
