Managerial
Economics Spring 2016
Prof. Zechariah
Team Project
This is a project on business strategy. We
have discussed in class how the competitive advantage of a company will
disappear over time as success breeds imitation or because new technology and other
factors change that competitive advantage. A company cannot settle for what it
has, constant innovation is necessary. In order to innovate a firm needs to
recognize what its distinctive capabilities are, whether it has value and what
factors might affect its business.
In this regard the basic approach of this
project is for each team to choose a company and provide a medium and long term
strategy that could increase its economic profitability within the industry.

planning.

idea to choose a public company as you will have more information available. Let
me know in class which company you have chosen.
