Demonstrate understanding of strategic response to external factors by a business that operates in a global context
You need to explain how a real New Zealand business responds to external challenges (like economic changes, supply chain issues, or environmental pressures) when it operates globally. You must describe their strategic response in terms of its size (scale), scope (range), and timeframe (how long it takes), and evaluate what impact this strategy has on the business and its goals.
You explain a strategic response to an external factor with specific examples showing size, scope, or timeframe, and how it affects operations and profitability.
You clearly show the effect of the strategy on the business using correct terminology (revenue, costs, profit, market share), link impacts to business goals, and complete all parts thoroughly.
You provide a detailed, well-explained strategy with clear examples of size, scope, and/or timeframe, identify which stakeholders are affected, weigh up positive and negative impacts on business goals, and add new information not mentioned elsewhere.
