Your paper should be 4–6 pages and include the following components:

Next, evaluate the five forces of competition and select the two most significant for your chosen corporation. Examine how effectively the company has addressed these forces recently. Additionally, predict how the company might improve its approach to these forces in the near future, considering current industry trends and competitive dynamics.

Assess external threats and opportunities currently affecting the corporation. Provide your analysis on how the company should handle the most serious threat and exploit the greatest opportunity. Justify your recommendations with rationale based on the company's environment and strategic position.

Furthermore, analyze the corporation's internal strengths and weaknesses. Offer your opinion on its greatest strengths and most significant weaknesses. Recommend specific strategies or tactics that the company should adopt to maximize its strengths and to address its weaknesses. Justify your choices based on a thorough understanding of the company's resources and capabilities.

Finally, determine the company's resources, capabilities, and core competencies that give it competitive advantage. This includes analyzing tangible and intangible resources, as well as distinctive capabilities that underpin the firm's strategic positioning.
