Articulate how you would integrate the external stakeholders into the strategic management process and how you would keep stakeholders informed.

Description

Consider the roles of internal and external stakeholders and consider one of the following projects:

A municipal airport is considering letting larger planes land at its facilities. This will bring added tourism but also more noise and pollution.

A paper factory is expanding its production at one plant. This will provide local high paying jobs but also create more traffic and potential pollution.

A school wants to consolidate classes to save on teachers’ wages. This will save local taxpayers money but may lead to classroom overcrowding.

Identify the possible internal and external stakeholders who could be partners for the project. Propose two committees, which would be part of a strategic management process, to address the opportunities and costs of the project. Articulate how you would integrate the external stakeholders into the strategic management process and how you would keep stakeholders informed. Based on your analysis, propose an optimal solution?

Do you think Fortnite has a point here? Should activities of huge companies with oligopolistic or even monopolistic power be regulated and restricted?

Description

It is not a secret for anyone that Apple has an enormous market power in the app retailing market. Apple’s App Store is the second largest app retailer in world (behind Google Play) it has a 15% market share around the globe and over 60% market share in the US. It has also been a center of some heated debates lately. Please consider the following cases, but feel free to bring other relevant example to enrich and deepen your arguments (does have to be Apple).

Fortnite sued Apple for abusing of its market powers by forcing its user to utilize Apple’s own payment platform. Do you think Fortnite has a point here? Should activities of huge companies with oligopolistic or even monopolistic power be regulated and restricted?

Coalition for a Safer Web is suing Apple for failure to remove Telegram from the App Store. What is your opinion on this case? Should such matters be regulated? Free market dictates that consumers should be able to punish and reward companies’ behaviors through continuous purchases. However, does it work in a oligopoly situation? If Google Play and Apple make the same decision (think Parler) consumers are stripped of any ability to switch their buying patterns.

Finally, consider the fact that all companies involved are MNEs with strong presence around the globe. How would decisions made based on US events will impact consumers around the globe?

Which strategy is the best option for Cool Beans Cafe to pursue?Discuss

Cool Beans Cafe is a small, local coffee shop located in Boston, MA that operates not for profit,
raising funds for veterans and their families. It began serving its customers three years ago.
The shop has a menu of 12 drinks; 7 hot and 5 cold, which are priced above the local
Starbucks but below other small cafes in the area. For its first two and a half years of
operations, Cool Beans Cafe saw high sales growth, but over the past 6 months its revenues
have seen almost no growth. Here, revenue is defined as the total amount of money the store
collects from its customers through sales.
Cool Beans Cafe’s manager has reached out to our consultant group to help them determine
how to boost the store’s revenues for the future. They have drafted four potential strategies and
are looking for our recommendation:
1. Strategy One: Increasing the number of sales made to each existing customer using the
existing menu
2. Strategy Two: Increasing the number of customers buying from the existing menu
3. Strategy Three: Increasing the number of customers by changing the menu to attract new
customers
4. Strategy Four: Increasing the price of the existing menu items
Which strategy is the best option for Cool Beans Cafe to pursue? In your response, make note
of both the risks and advantages of that strategy, and address at least three specific ideas for
implementing your chosen strategy (e.g., if you chose Strategy Two, how can they increase the
number of customers? If you chose Strategy Four, how should they decide what their new price
should be?).
