PU Organizations Business Model Discussions

I’m working on a business discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

ULO #1: Apply a value chain analysis and describe its value as an internal strategic tool. 

• ULO #2: Differentiate between the vision and mission of an organization and how they reflect an organization’s culture. 
• ULO #3: Evaluate how organization’s business model, systems and culture affect the strategy and tactics the organization might use to meet goals and objectives.

Discussion 1

After reading the course materials, including Mukerjee (2016) (a good overview of the factors for competitive advantage!), apply the most relevant two elements of a value chain analysis to an organization of your choice. Justify your choice of elements as to why they are important for that organization.

Describe two strategic tactics the organization should try (or already uses) based on the value chain analysis and justify why the tactic is useful as a competitive advantage tool.
