9th Week Journal

Learning Journal Week 9.

1. In your own words and using referenced quotes describe what is meant in strategy by the ‘Resource-Based View’?
According to Business Dictionary " A management device used to assess the available amount of a businessstrategic assets. In essence, the resource-based view is based on the idea that the effective and efficient application of all useful resources that the company can muster helps determine its competitive advantage.

The Resources Based View is a method of viewing the firm which in turn of approaching toward the strategy. It is the resources which are combined together which makes a firm different from one another.


2. How might you undertake ‘Internal Strategic Analysis’?  What models would you apply and why? Where would you go to find the information you need?


Internal Strategic Analysis focuses on the identifying the strength and weakness of an organization so that it can meet the demand of the external environments like threats.

I would apply on following models
Value chain Analysis
MC Kinsey Seven S Analysis
Resources and Competence Analysis
VRIN
It would help to find out the strength and weakness of an organization which would help to analyze on which sector the organization should work hard.

We can find the information from Primary sources as well as secondary sources. We could also contact the organization expert to help to find the information by small questionnaire.



3. Talk about your group video work. How is it going so far? Do you have a plan? What are you most worried about at the moment?What is going well?!
We have made a team of 5 people in a group. We have divided each one of the person to do one of the task. We choose to do a presentation on Apple Inc Verses Samsung. All the information has been collected which has to sorted out now.
Our main concern is how to present the video and how to shoot the video. Our team has been moving on plan and team work has been effective.
