Comments on Assignment 2

1. As we research we should start to get a clearer picture of Bluescope and its strategy. From this we can start to analyse using SWOT as a basic tool.
2. Agree with Arv. We can use Porters 5 Competitive forces model and PESTLE to understand the effect of the external and internal environment on the organisation.
3. Units 3 can help us with the external environment, Unit 4 can assist with understanding the strengths and capabilities of the organisation and Unit 5 has tips on agility.
4. Unit 10 should help us with section 2 as we analyse and dissect the organisation across divisions and borders.
5. Units 6 and 7 are more technology and innovation focused and I think should assist us with section 3 of our project document.

I think we should nominate 5 questions that we want to present to Bluescope, here are some examples:
1. What is the strategic intent of the organisation for the next 3 years?
2. How is Bluescope using innovation/technology to gain a competitive advantage?
3. What innovating techniques is employing/ has employed?
4. What type of strategy will be used to remain competitive in the global market?
5. What is its current balance sheet and ROI?
