Research a company that was recently unsuccessful in implementing a strategy and prepare a critical examination of the strategy to address the following questions:
1. What was the strategy and why do you believe it failed?
2. What flaws did the strategy have to begin with? e.g. was it doomed to fail from the start.
3. What did management do or not do that caused the strategy to fail?
4. Did implementation of the strategy suffer from insufficient funding, lack of operational support, or other required business support functions, and why? (sales, marketing, manufacturing, engineering, purchasing, etc.)
5. How could have quality control measures corrected the flaw in the strategy?
6. Was the strategy compatible with the company’s culture?
What did management do or not do that caused the strategy to fail? How could have quality control measures corrected the flaw in the strategy?
