Instructions

Your final assignment consists of a capstone paper and an accompanying PowerPoint presentation. Note that you must submit the paper and PowerPoint as separate files to this assignment.

Section 1: Final Capstone Plan

Combine your Weeks 3, 5, and 7 writing assignments into one final document presenting your strategic recommendations. The presentation should be very detailed to address potential concerns and provide support for your recommendations.

For your final capstone submission, write a 15-20 page paper in which you:

1. Write a 1-2 page executive summary providing a high-level technical overview of your project. Address the following from the case study:
   • Strategy Development.
   • Innovation and Competitive Analysis and Exploiting Innovation.
   • The Organization's Response to Change.
2. Combine all previous documentation from the Weeks 3, 5, and 7 writing assignments, assembling all aspects of the strategic management process into one final product.
3. Compile all the quality resources from the previous three assignments.

Section 2: PowerPoint Presentation

This is your final closing argument to present your findings to the CEO and executive team and convince them that your solution is optimal.

Your PowerPoint must have speaker notes, written as if you were presenting this assignment to your executive leadership. The speaker notes should appear in the "notes" field below any text or images you include for each slide in your PowerPoint file.
