Fisk alloy wire case study

Before explaining the parameters of this case analysis assignment, let me first explain what this assignment is NOT. This case analysis write up assignment does NOT involve summarizing the case you just read. In other words, your assignment is NOT to reduce a 20-page case into a 1-page summary. Instead, this assignment involves summarizing the analysis and recommendations of the case you read. As a member of the strategic leadership team of the company covered in the assigned case, you are submitting an Executive Summary to your Board of Directors and other members of the Top Management Team. Each of these cases will involve decision-making – this is the crux of strategy. In these cases, individuals (directors, executives, managers, etc.) will need to make decisions (either a single decision or multiple decisions). In some cases, these decisions will be clearer than in other cases. You should understand that there is no “right” answer to these cases. As such, I will grade these based on the information, analyses and critical thinking that you present to support your strategic decisions facing the firm, to bring out the strategic alternatives for addressing the decisions, and to make the recommendations.
