Stockton Enterprise Arcade Written Case Analysis 2
Two of the pages are for the financial analysis. In both written case analyses, you will be evaluated on the appropriate use of the strategic tools from presented in class.


Company’s Internal Assessment1. Financial analysis (2 pages max). Conduct a thorough financial analysis. Details on what to include in your financial analysis will be discussed in class.2. Is the company able to seize market opportunities and nullify external threats (SWOT analysis)?3. Are the company’s cost structure and customer value proposition competitive (Value Chain analysis)?4. Is the company competitively stronger or weaker than key rivals (Representative weighted Competitive Strength Assessment)?5. Identify “one” strategic issue you think merits front-burner managerial attention. The issues should be framed in a question format (How to…, What to do about …, and Whether to ….). Make sure you only identify one strategic issue. While there very well may be more issues that deserve managerial attention the focus of your report is going to be based on supporting only the one issue you identified.6. Identify all of the relevant facts from your appendix that led you to conclude that the issue you identified deserves managerial attention. List these facts in this section by including the relevant reference from your appendix. You only have to use the numbered heading like (1.1). Every fact that you feel is related to supporting your issue choice should be identified. This section will ultimately become an outline for the analysis section of your report.For each strategic tool you should provide a coherent analysis by integrating and synthesizing detailed facts available in the case as it relates to a particular strategic tool. You can’t provide a complete analysis for a specific tool if you don’t include all of the relevant facts from the case in your analysis. A part of your grade will be based on whether you included all of the available facts from the case. You must include a summary conclusion that identifies the strategic implications of a strategic tool analysis. Every strategic tool MUST have a summary conclusion identifying the strategic implications at the end of the analysis. You should continuously be asking yourself at the end of each assessment: SO WHAT? WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? WHAT ARE THE STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS?Do not use outside information, as there is more than enough material in the case to do a thorough6analysis. Base your decisions and recommendations upon the information available to the company at the time of the case.
