(1.) Write a case synopsis using the "General Motors: Plugging in Case Study" by clearly identifying some of the most important issues, as presented in the case; the synopsis should serve as the foundation and information base for your case analysis;(2.) Analyze the case by explicitly using the knowledge that you have learnt and focusing on both external and internal analyses:(A) for external analysis, please clearly identify and analyze several key forces in the general and industry environments that affect General Motors (GM) particularly by using Porters Five Forces Model (B) for internal analysis, please carefully examine resources and assets that GM has to help counter the external forces and create competitive advantages that are not only unique and valuable but also difficult for competitors to copy or substitute by using value chain analysis and resource-based view of the firm.(3.) Conclude the case study by convincingly arguing whether and why GMs strategic new initiatives (i.e., moving the firm away from its reliance on the kinds of vehicles that it had sold to generations of consumers) would be successful based on your external and internal analyses.
