International Analysis and Diversification and Integration Strategies of rtx, formeyl known as raytheon <\/span><\/h2>\n

The readings for this week provide the terminology and concepts associated with international strategy, foreign market entry, diversification of products and services offered in the marketplace, and integration along the value chain.  <\/span><\/p>\n

For this module:<\/span><\/h2>\n

Research<\/strong><\/span> <\/span>the firm\u2019s international presence and strategy. Look for evidence of globalization by examining sales\/revenues\/profits by country or region (i.e., globalization of markets) and for evidence of expansion by examining factors of production (e.g., location of headquarters, employee bases, factories, investments in land, etc). <\/span><\/p>\n

Report<\/strong> <\/span>which international strategy (i.e., standardization\/low-cost, localization\/differentiation, or transnationalization) the firm uses and the levels and types of (<\/span>related and\/or unrelated)<\/strong> <\/span>product diversification in their product lines or services.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Analyze<\/strong> <\/span>the information in the context of the international and diversification strategy frameworks presented in the readings. <\/span><\/p>\n

Label vehicles of diversification<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/strong>\u2013acquisitions and mergers, joint ventures, strategic alliances, and partnerships- by a) region and by b) vertical and horizontal integration.  I want to know where the diversification is<\/span> <\/span>located<\/span> <\/span>(i.e., country\/region) and what the diversification is attempting to <\/span><\/span>add to the organization\u2019s value chain<\/span> <\/span><\/strong>(i.e., horizontal versus vertical integration).<\/span><\/p>\n

Report<\/span><\/span> <\/span>on opportunities to improve competitive advantage through <\/span><\/span>outsourcing<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Report<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span>on how both of these factors have impacted the firm\u2019s <\/span><\/span>ROIC over time<\/span>. Attempt to find changes in this metric that corresponds to these types of organizational changes. Demonstrate how the ROIC, based on the firm\u2019s expansion efforts has changed over time; see if you can correlate changes to this metric with decisions and actions made within the organization.<\/span><\/p>\n

Demonstrate<\/span><\/span> <\/span>how the internationalization of the firm is shaping its competitive advantage, as well as how the diversification and integration of the firm is shaping its competitive advantage. <\/span><\/p>\n

Apply<\/span><\/span> <\/span>your findings, and include critical commentary to indicate the \u201cfitness\u201d of the observed firm\u2019s strategy with the criteria from the readings. Does the analysis indicate strategic opportunities and threats that have not yet been considered in the firm analysis? Are there some strategic alternatives in the global business environment that better fit the company\u2019s competitive advantage? Can strategy alternatives be used, in related or unrelated industries, that better fit the company\u2019s environment?  Are there diversification opportunities that require capabilities investments not yet considered? <\/span><\/p>\n
