This week you will analyze a longer, more in-depth case. Keep in mind what you have learned about strategy to this point – and use the feedback provided by your instructor on previous cases as you analyze this one. Read the case, “Costco Wholesale Corporation in 2018†in the back of your text, pages C-134 through C-142. Based on your knowledge to this point, write a 3-4-page analysis of this case – use the conclusion section to help guide your thinking (i.e., How does Costco maintain high performance? How does Costco compete with online retailers like Amazon?). This assignment is an analysis, not a summary, thus you do not need to repeat all the details of the case in your writing. Rather, focus on: (1) a brief intro that summarizes the case, (2) 3-4 paragraphs of analysis of the case based on the concepts of strategic management you’ve learned in this course, and (3) a clear conclusion.
