Question 2
could you please review the attached paper for my business strategy class and let me know if you have any comments/additions on it to address the following points: ? Industry Analysis : 5 (+1) forces ? Competitive positioning strategies ? Value proposition ? Value innovation CRRE ? Industry convergence ? Experiment blue ocean strategies, defining characteristics. ? industry success factors ? market growth and drivers ? Suggestions on structure of industry reconstruction through value innovation strategies In more details: (1) A thoughtful and complete ?5+1? (Porter?s) force analysis: specifically state whether the power of, or threat from, each of the 5 forces is high, low, or moderate (or equivalent language)? Is there a determination as to whether or not this is an attractive industry that is realistically based upon the conclusions reached previously? You should also examine the industry outlook ? carry out the same analysis to predict how the industry will look like in the near future. (2) If the industry is judged to be ?unattractive? are the implications for the competitive positioning, operations, and marketing of a company in it explained? The industry often constrains the range of possible generic strategies that firms can follow. (3) Has a specific recommendation been made regarding the value proposition of the company that is being analyzed relative to the value propositions of competitors and substitutes (competitive positioning)? (4) If appropriate: have industry convergence/value innovation types of opportunities been examined? (5) Given the intended competitive positioning of your company, did you identify operating and marketing implications and discussed what capabilities will be necessary to deliver the intended value proposition? (6) If the needed capabilities are not currently present, is there a compelling plan on how they could be developed? If the capabilities are present, is there an examination of what the company should do to maintain them, and what it must not do in order to maintain them?,just to clarify, I meant to say ERRC (http://www.blueoceanstrategy.com/abo/errc_grid.html),So do you think i answered all requested points for the assignment below? do you have any comments or additions to the document? (1) A thoughtful and complete ?5+1? (Porter?s) force analysis: specifically state whether the power of, or threat from, each of the 5 forces is high, low, or moderate (or equivalent language)? Is there a determination as to whether or not this is an attractive industry that is realistically based upon the conclusions reached previously?

If the capabilities are present, is there an examination of what the company should do to maintain them, and what it must not do in order to maintain them?,I need to relate my paper to the 6 points above. Just like what you did with your last attachment to the other points. Also i would like you to correct any grammar or syntax mistakes.

The process requires new machinery that would cost $1,937,742. have a life of five years, and would produce the cash flows shown in the following table. Year Cash Flow 1 $586,859 2 -276,364 3 823,600 4 827,781 5 671,879 What is the NPV if the discount rate is 14.33 percent? (Enter negative amounts using negative sign e.g. -45.25. Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.) Archer Daniels Midland Company is considering buying a new farm that it plans to operate for 10 years. The farm will require an initial investment of $12.20 million. This investment will consist of $2.90 million for land and $9.30 million for trucks and other equipment. The land, all trucks, and all other equipment is expected to be sold at the end of 10 years at a price of $5.20 million, $2.29 million above book value. The farm is expected to produce revenue of $2.05 million each year, and annual cash flow from operations equals $1.92 million. The marginal tax rate is 35 percent, and the appropriate discount rate is 10 percent. Calculate the NPV of this investment. (Round intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.) Please see document for additional questions
