Your Assessment for this competency is a portfolio consisting of two audio-enhanced PowerPoint presentations and one business report that you will create based on your analysis of three selected case studies. In order to support your success on this Assessment, you have the option to complete a formative activity on which you will receive feedback from your Faculty. Please note that completion of this activity does not count as a submission of Part 1 of your Assessment. You will not receive any scores on this activity.
Review the materials in Learning Activity 1 on analyzing case studies, as well as the other Learning Activities within this module for more information on the topic of business strategies in a global environment. Once you feel ready to proceed, read the “Eataly: Reimagining the Grocery Store” case study and then use the questions provided in the Assessment to create an outline for your audio-enhanced PowerPoint presentation that includes the major topic and subtopic headings, along with high-level bulleted points that you will want to develop for your presentation. You will then share this outline with your Faculty who will provide you with feedback and give you a chance to ask questions. You may then use this pre-work to form the basis of Part 1 of your Assessment. Please note that you may complete a similar exercise for Modules 2 and 3 before submitting your first attempt.
To complete this activity, refer to the following:

Module 1 Outline Template (Word document)
As companies grow, they often expand into new areas. One type of expansion is through extending the borders of their business and engaging in commerce within a new region or country. Competing within the global marketplace requires businesses to consider additional factors than if they were simply operating “close to home.” In addition, for a business to continue to grow and achieve stability (and possible advantage), its leadership may also consider diversification strategies. This could include expanding the company’s product or service offerings and breaking into a new market or industry. The resources in this Learning Activity explore aspects of diversification and competing globally.

A company can have the greatest strategy ever devised, but it will be worthless if it is unable to execute it. This is when a company’s leaders serve an important role not only in implementing the strategy, but also believing in it and showing the rest of the company that they should believe in it too. Through the resources in this Learning Activity, you will examine leadership’s role in executing strategies.
