Industry and macroeconomic environment
Purpose: To discuss the external environment of the firm, PESTEL analysis, and the Porter Five Forces Model.
Assignment: Write a two paragraph (or more) analysis of the following question – Why is it so important that a company understand and remain highly responsive to the external environment? Can you discuss the external environment within the context of your company’s particular industry and macroeconomic environment? Use one facet of PESTEL analysis or one of the Porter Five Forces to describe a characteristic of your company’s external environment. It is important that you describe a real, specific example. You can use your company’s situation for this analysis. If you are not currently employed, you may describe a former employer or company. If security concerns preclude discussion of your current or former company, an example from the business press is acceptable.
Required materials to include on your discussion board post includes Chapter Three from the textbook and one of the Harvard Business Review articles assigned in Unit Two.
Damages determination:
Contract analysis scenario one—damages determination: Alfred and Barbara own adjoining farms in Dry County, an area where all agriculture requires irrigation. Alfred bought a well-drilling rig and drilled a 400-foot well from which he drew drinking water. Barbara needed no additional irrigation water, but in January 1985, she asked Alfred on what terms he would drill a well near her house to supply better-tasting drinking water than the county water she has been using for years. Alfred said that because he had never before drilled a well for hire, he would charge Barbara only $10 per foot, about one dollar more than his expected cost. Alfred said that he would drill to a maximum depth of 600 feet, which is the deepest his rig could reach. Barbara said, “OK—as long as you can guarantee completion by June 1, we have a deal.” Alfred agreed, and he asked for $3,500 in advance, with any further payment or refund to be made on completion. Barbara said, “OK,” and she paid Alfred $3,500.
Alfred started to drill on May 1. He had reached a depth of 200 feet on May 10 when his drill struck rock and broke, plugging the hole. The accident was unavoidable. It had cost Alfred $12 per foot to drill this 200 feet. Alfred said he would not charge Barbara for drilling the useless hole in the ground, but he would have to start a new well close by and could not promise its completion before July 1.
