Group Project $$ DUE August $8$ PRIOR to the start of class. The company you will be analyzing is TESLA.

Application of Hills$$ Strategy Operations Management Framework

Formation of groups for this Project on July $2.$ Your groups are a workplace, and you will have time for a

first group meeting on the first day of class when you will be asked to very carefully read this entire

assignment, and assume the responsibility of attention to group participation and own your

input. Consider creating a timeline today that will track work expected from each student for the total

project. You will use that timeline to track group participation through to the completion of the final

assignment.

$3$ reports are due for this assignment.

Part $1$ is due on July $23$ PRIOR to class $$ Create an outline of headings and initial information for

the project. In addition to compiled headings, each group member will write their own input, tracking their

input under their name as a heading, added in alphabetical order to the last page of the assignment. Be

real, and honest with your input. If a group member doesn$$t add anything to this assignment, it is to their

detriment. Each student has responsibility to have all group members listed on the assignment, and create

a timeline to keep track; make it obvious if a student does not participate in this part of the assignment.

Students who do not participate will not receive marks for this assignment.

Part $2$ is due on August $1$ PRIOR to class $$ this is a longer Draft of the Final Submission. Flesh out

the outline headings with your information for the project, make sure the order makes sense and follows

the Hills strategy format. Add information sources $($in APA format$)$ on a Reference List at the end of the

Draft.

Be real, and honest with your input. If a group member doesn$$t add anything to this assignment, it

is to their detriment. Your responsibility is to be sure all group members are listed on the assignment, keep

track, make it obvious if a student does not participate in production of this part of the assignment.

Students who do not participate will not receive marks for this assignment, students who have not

participated in either Part $1$ or Part $2$ will not have input to Part $3$ and will fail this assignment.

Part $3$ is due on August $8$th PRIOR TO CLASS. This includes $2$ files, one is a PPT file $(8$ slides for your

presentation$)$ and your group$$s final written paper, approximately $3000$ words or less. Presentation order is

by submission, the first submission presents first, the second presents second and so on$.$ Some

presentations will take place on the $8$th$,$ and any remaining presentations on the $13$th$.$ If a student did not

participate in this assignment, they will not receive marks for this assignment. In this Part $3,$ each group

member writes their own stated input and includes it in a summaary paragraph with their name as a

heading. Match everyone$$s work with the timeline you created in Part $1.$

ASSIGNMENT NOTES: This assignment allows you to think strategically in terms of operations and the

organization, as you apply our course concepts. You will be using the template provided in power point

slide $22$ from Chapter $2$ which very aptly ties a firm$$s operations strategy together with its overall

corporate and marketing objectives. Note that you are identifying the main topics covered in this course

$($e$.$g$.$ supply chain management, inventory, processes, sustainability, etc.$).$ You can never look at operations

strategy in isolation, it is always interrelated and impacted by the overall corporate objectives. The result

of your project should be to highlight how Operations Management contributes to corporate strategy

objectives and achieves goals of the firm.

Use Hill$$s Strategy Development Framework as presented in your power points PPTs CH$2,$ slide $22.$ The

framework will be the first page of your submission. This is what the template should look like:
