Question 2: Answer the question: 2000w

How does regulation shape the strategic choices which companies and organisations face in regulated industries or regulated fields of work? To support your argument, compare cases of companies or organisations working in different industries, selected from the industries examined in the module lectures and readings. For this assignment, you may either examine particular companies from different industries or you may consider whole industries as your cases. You should compare cases from or of two or at most three industries. Use a carefully structured table to summarise the findings of your comparative analysis

Strategy is about the big things in business and organisations.

What kind of business are we?

How are we fundamentally organised?

What are we trying to achieve? Market share or better margins? A more focused business or a more diversified one? More or less strategic risk?
