Introduction
This one assignment within the module will address all of the module’s learning outcomes. You
are required to address the questions in the four Tasks below that will produce a mini case study
made up of four main sections.
Assignment
You are required to produce a mini strategy case study (between 4750-5000 words) on an
organisation mutually agreed by you and your tutor. The case should be capable of illustrating your
understanding of how the competitive environment and internal capabilities of the company have
combined to influence their IS strategies and development.
Your choice of organisation must also be capable of demonstrating how the use of technology has
related at least in part to the development of competitive advantage. The case should be written in
the style of a mini case similar to those presented in many of the strategy texts.
The mini case must not be just a brief history of the business; instead it must clearly focus on
specific strategic IT/IS issues e.g. competition, changes in customer preferences, increased use of
technology in processes to increase competitiveness, technological innovations, threat of new
entrants to market, outsourcing of activities to improve cost efficiencies … the list could be endless.
However, you need only to address the most important issues. You are also required to identify
how the external IT/IS environment impacts on the internal workings of the organisation you have
selected.
The following steps should help you in the process of writing the mini case:
Select the organisation or company you wish to write the case on. You are advised strongly to
consider carefully your choice of organisation. Large well-known companies e.g. Mcdonalds,
Coca-Cola, Body Shop, Vodaphone etc… may be difficult to examine or illustrate with sufficient
clarity in a mini case given their size and complexity, and you would certainly have to narrow this
down to particular Strategic Business Units within the company. Your tutor must agree your choice
of organisation.
Bear in mind that you will need to gather data on the organisation. If the organisation is a large
company, you may want to consider which part of the company, SBU or particular strategic issue(s)
you want the case to explore.
Decide on the specific strategic issues relating to competitiveness the case is going to address. This
should make some reference to external issues or factors and the internal capability of the
organisation. Your case should not require in depth knowledge of the inner workings of the
company, but highlight particular issues of strategic significance. However, remember a mini case
study is NOT simply a description of the company taken from various sources e.g. company web
pages!

Task 1 - 20 Marks
Context – this will be the first section of the case study. Here, define the aims and scope of your
case study. Briefly critique the method of enquiry you will adopt. Identify any assumptions you will
be making in conducting your research. You may provide some descriptive narrative that gives
brief background information on the organisation and an account of the circumstances or situation
of the organisation. The case might focus on providing a discussion of particular issues, and/or
managerial actions.
Approximately 1000 words.
Task 2 - 25 Marks
In this section, using quality sources of reference provide a summary of external drivers that are
influencing the case under examination to make more use of IT.
You are required to undertake an external environmental analysis of the industry the organisation
operates within; what competitive pressures exist within the industry? How does IT/IS impact their
positioning for competitive advantage? What changes in IT/IS are likely to affect the organisation
in the future? The important point is that analytical tools (e.g. SWOT, PESTEL etc.) are properly
used and included in the appendices. The use of information technology/systems in the sector
should be appraised and possible future technological innovations examined. Ensure all source
material is acknowledged in the case study, including citations within the main body of the text.
Approximately 1500 words.
Task 3 - 30 Marks
The third section, using consequence analysis tools, will provide discussion on the likely impact of
IT/IS on the case under examination. This section should focus attention on the internal resources/
competencies and capabilities of the company; for example, what are they doing that is either
helping or hindering them in the use of IT/IS?
This analysis should be drawn from the ‘effect/probability/action grids’ (to be included in the
appendices). In this section of the case study, the focus will be on the internal process,
management and strategy of the organisation.
Approximately 1500 words.
Task 4 - 25 Marks
Drawing on the previous two sections, the fourth section of the case study should provide an
overview of key issues that are directly linked to systems development. The aim in this section is to
show how the external and internal environment of the case under examination influences systems
development. Your discussions should focus on the initial stages of the SSM (feasibility, analysis
and design aspects).
Approximately 1000 words.
Format/Requirements of the case study
These sections require you to demonstrate your analytical skills and give justifications for your
answers.
Note: Any models or diagrams you wish to show as supporting analysis or information should be
included in the appendices and does not count in your word count. Clarity and brevity, given the
word count, is important.
You must, of course, provide references for the sources you have used to write the mini case and
commentary using the Harvard referencing system (not included in the word count).
Guidance
Consult with your tutor if you are uncertain about any aspects of the assignment.
Submission Requirements
To pass the assignment candidates must:
• Complete all the four sections of the case study.
• Submit their work in a single word-processed document of no more than 5000 words, excluding
appendices.
• Produce clear and specific reasoning and argument to justify answers.
• Make appropriate reference to relevant concepts, techniques and theories
• Appropriately cite all information sources.
• Include all tools used in the appendices.
• Provide a reference page.
The document should submitted both in paper form and digital form on a disk.
