Background As a practicing manager, analyst, or consultant, you will often be asked to prepare and present an analysis of a business situation. Typically, you will be asked to do this in a group. The group case analysis component of this course is designed to give you practice doing this. You will be asked, in groups, to prepare an analysis and update of a case. The case you will be asked to work on is as follows: Endy-In 2016, two Toronto entrepreneurs approached The Dragon's Den for fundingfor a startup company called Endy. They successfully got the financing they were looking for, and the company went on to become one of the most successful companies ever appearing on the Canadian Dragons Den. Watch the pitch here: https://www.cbc.ca/dragonsden/m pitches/endy-sleep You will investigate and report back on this company, handing in your case study to Blackboard by 11:59 pm, April 5th. In fairness to all members of the class late papers will be severely penalized(see syllabus for further details). Report Instructions In small groups, you should do the following: 1. Provide a 1 page introduction to the case study. 2. Provide a case update. Note that the case update must include a summary of a few key events that have occurred with regards to the internal and external environment of the organization (anything of strategic importance since 2016). Issues of strategic importance may include taking note of any mergers or acquisitions and product introductions undertaken by the focal organization. I do expect you to consult the organization's web site (if applicable) and the media (major business press such as the Globe & Mail and National Post) to take note of any recent developments. Discuss the positive and negative impact the changes may have had on the organization. This update will take the form of a 2-3 page analysis.
