Question Description
Here is the assignment. Individual, not group. No particular length required, but looking for rigorous work. Do not use any information from modern day or any info not in the case itself. Needless to say, no outside sources should be used at all (especially CourseHero, Chegg, etc, of course).
Just the case, the textbook and your brain. :^)
Analysis: focus on External and/or Internal Environments
Conduct a PESTEL analysis to identify the forces affecting car manufacturing of alternate energy vehicles.
Conduct a SWOT analysis to analyze internal and external conditions Tesla must consider going forward.
Using VRIO analysis, evaluate whether Tesla has sustained a competitive advantage.
Formulation: focus on Business, Corporate, and/or Global Strategy
How does Elon Musk constrain Tesla’s options?
Implementation: focus on Recommendations and How to Execute Them
What short-term objectives are required for Tesla to survive?
What are the primary elements of Tesla’s internal and external environment that need to be addressed for it to achieve a sustained competitive advantage? (hint: revisit your SWOT analysis and suggest to Tesla how they can take advantages of strengths and opportunities and overcome threats and weaknesses)
