Tesla$$s Strategy in $2022$: Can it Deliver

Sustained Revenue Growth and Profitability?

It is early $2022,$ and the Board of Directors of Tesla has employed you as a consultant to provide

clarity and insight to the company. Management had reported solid earnings to the board in late

$2021,$ backed by strong revenue growth. However, Tesla$$s rapid growth had posed significant

challenges for strategy execution. Further, Tesla$$s stock price had fluctuated widely over the last

several years. Tesla$$s Board has requested that you evaluate the company and its global

operations and assist the board in setting strategic direction in $2022.$ The board has requested a

report that $($a$)$ describes the three top strategic issues for the company that management should

address in $2022,$ and $($b$)$ provides three recommendations for management regarding how the

company should begin to address these identified strategic issues. Tesla$$s board acknowledges

that the company faces more than three strategic issues in $2022$ and requests your top three in

order to focus management$$s attention on the most pressing priorities.

Your assignment is to identify the three $$front burner$$ strategic issues and recommend specific,

measurable, and achievable actions for the company to take to address these issues as of early

$2022.$ Please prepare an executive summary report to Tesla$$s board of directors that $(1)$ identifies

these strategic issues and $(2)$ proposes your recommendations to address them.

Your report should be prepared as a three$-$page Executive Summary of Recommendations. Your

list of strategic issues and recommendations should be specific and be clearly supported by your

analysis of the company$$s strategic and financial situation. You may $($optional$)$ supplement your

$3-$page summary with appendices that $($may$)$ contain $($a$)$ an analysis of the company$$s financial

statements and$/$or provide pro$-$forma financial projections and $($b$)$ other appendices that you

consider appropriate. You will also include a $($required$)$ table of References to sources that you
