Business Finance Homework Help

Structure your SPACE analysis around these four dimensions: Financial Strength, Industry Strength, Environmental Stability, and Competitive Advantage.Your analysis should include the following elements:

• Strategic Position and Action Evaluation Factors
• Strategic Position and Action Evaluation Matrix
• Brief summary of your analysis.

This assignment requires you to apply critical thinking skills through a very thorough reading of the case and synthesizing the content provided to determine whether to assume conservative, aggressive, defensive, or competitive strategies as far as company approach.

For this SPACE Factors analysis, you have several options as far as indicating the scores for each of the elements on the excel sheet. You can bold the number, change the font color, or shade the specific cell. Some students have circled the number using Excel tools. Your choice as to how you want to indicate the numbers you have chosen. You will need to manually compute the math for the overall score for each factor.

For the SPACE Matrix analysis, you will need to use the tools (symbols) found in Excel to manually produce the graph. Depending on your version of Excel, you should be able to locate the symbols under “Insert” from the Excel menu. Once you have located the symbols, you can click and select symbols for drawing a line, a line with an arrow, and a circle (shrink to a smaller size dot). These are the only symbols you will need to complete your graph (Strategy Profile). Exhibit 7-14 provides examples of what your completed Strategy Profile should look like.

For the “Factors Determining Financial Strength,” use the information found at Exhibits 6 and 7 and a thorough examination of the case study.

For the critical factors and comments sections on the SPACE factors analysis, two to three sentences at most are sufficient for supporting explanation. Please remember it is the substantive content value of the comments that matters; not how much you write (type).
