Explore MS templates from the main MS Word screen and do a search for ‘brochures’, most of the templates shown will be 6 page/panel (this will be one double sided fold-out page with three panels of information per side, basically, a tri-fold benefits brochure) – just like any brochure you might pick up somewhere. It will be one standard sheet of paper, but folded into three panels per side (a total of six panels, front and back) . Also, you need to do this assignment with a company you are familiar with, and you need to incorporate information from Ch. 14, and base the job you will offer benefits for – with this brochure, on the job you described in Assignment #1.
Also, below is suggested outline for the brochure, you do not need to follow this outline but you certainly can if you wish.

One-page write-up using the framework in Porter’s "What is Strategy?
One-page write-up using the framework in Porter’s "What is Strategy?
Assignment: An investor is considering making a small investment in a startup company.Wefunder is a private equity funding platform. On WeFunder, you can invest directly in a company in exchange for equity. In other words, the Wefunder pitch is a not a Kickstarter campaign, but more like a venture capital investment. In fact, it’s kind of like shark tank, only the deal terms are clearly spelled out ahead of time.
No industry specific knowledge is required or assumed. No need to do much or any outside research on the topic.
Instructions: You have two options. Please pick only one of the two options to do your write-up on:
https://wefunder.com/
https://wefunder.com/sunstate.
Note 1: In your write-up, please give your argument only using the framework in Porter’s “What is Strategy?” reading as well as our in-class discussion from class 1. Please do not use any other theory frameworks, such as 5 Forces or frameworks that you’ve learned in other classes such as SWOT.
Note 2: Please don’t get lost in the minutiae of the investment decision itself. This is meant to be an analysis using Porter’s “What is strategy?” article. So don’t worry about the investment specifics. You can assume that you are investing in equity shares at a fair price. If the company is good and passes Porter’s theories, then it’s a good investment.
Questions for Your Writeup:
You don’t need to answer these questions in essay format. You can just answer the questions one at a time. No need to copy and paste the questions unless you need to waste space and make it look like you wrote more than you did.
Length: 12 pt font. 1-page max. I prefer the 1.15 standard spacing, but double-spaced is fine too.
1. What trade-offs, if any, is the company making (i.e. the company that you chose)? According to Porter’s argument in pages 8-10 of What is Strategy?, Is the company making the kind of “trade-offs” that lead to a sustainable competitive advantage?
2. Does the company have a unique and valuable position? According to Porter’s argument in pages 4-8 of What is Strategy, why or why not?
3. Does the company integrate activities in a way that creates “fit”? According to Porter’s argument in pages 10-15 of What is Strategy, why or why not? Is this activity “fit” hard to imitate?
4. Based on your conclusions from above, would you recommend that the investor invest in the company? Why or why not? Use Porter’s ideas from the What is Strategy article to justify your rationale.
[Reminder: Please do not include a case summary orintroduction to these short assignments. Please get right into answer the questions. In fact, you do not need to even include your names on the document as that just takes up precious space. Names are are automatically tagged in Blackboard. Your help is much appreciated.]
