My Professor’s Feedback
You prepared an excellent discussion concerning L’Oreal. I do want to point out you have misspelled the company name large part of your discussion. Your CEO client may be a little disturbed seeing the company name not handled properly. Be sure to review your work to assure there are no misspellings, especially of this nature. The introduction you provide is fantastic. It is short and to the point, which is what an executive in the C suite will want to see. Your external environment discussion addressing the industry overview and analysis is excellent. I do want to point out some of the sentences within the competitor discussion seem to border on being run-ons. It’s a lot safer to break sentence down than to have one extend out. I like five forces analysis you prepared, it is very straightforward and flows very nicely into your internal analysis discussion. I like the internal analysis as you address a core competency of product. Your discussions of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats is excellent! I have nothing but praise for this narrative you do well with your discussion of the strategic performances and the financial performance with the great wrap-up of the discussion in your recommendations. Overall, this is excellent work and addresses everything requested for the assignment. The APA formatting content looks great, however there are parts which appear to have too many capital letters. This is a minor issue. I look forward to seeing your next discussion which will be the signature assignment. Keep in mind the work you have constructed for the case assignment will be used as a basis or foundation for the signature assignment. If you have any questions, please let me know.
