HI

My final project is due in few weeks time and it need to be done in 3 phases… which is week 4, Week 6 and week 8.

This week is week 4 so here below is the instruction for week 4… (pls also chose a company from UK and easy to access financial information)

The instruction for week 4

This week you will be starting work on your Final Project for this module. The purpose of the Final Project is to apply the concepts and techniques of the module to the analysis of real-world situations or problems. You will select a specific company to study. Students are expected to use diverse sources of information and to carry out an original analysis rather than summarise or rehash existing work. Students are encouraged to use situations and data from their own experience where possible.

Your task for Week 4 is to prepare and hand in a Project Proposal that includes the nature of the project, the sources of information you plan to use, and the most important concepts and techniques to be applied. You will receive feedback on the proposal from the Instructor during Week 5, which will give you time to make adjustments before your Week 6 submission.

The outline topics should include the following:

1. A brief summary of the company you have chosen, such as business lines, and its industry;
2. Information sources (e.g. industry studies, market share reports, financial statements, etc.);
3. The analyses you will include in your study. This will likely require a summary review of the material in later sections of the course, such as competitor analysis;
4. If you have access to, and permission to use, internal company documents, please discuss so in the outline.

For this module, you are required to complete a course project that reveals mastery in application of the strategic managerial accounting and performance management concepts emphasised in the course. This involves reporting on a specific organisation within an industry, analysing the firm’s competitive position (e.g., market position, cost competitiveness, market power, innovation, SWOT, etc.), its managerial accounting approach, and the non-financial performance metrics should be used in monitoring firm performance, all aligned with value creation for the chosen firm.

This project should be a formal business report that covers all elements of the strategic management process: mission statement, strategic goals, strategic objectives, actionable plans (if available, analyse the specific budget planning process used by the Firm; if not, search for relevant articles for the subject company and recommend a process that you believe is appropriate for the company), and performance monitoring processes employed by the Firm, including its board of directors. These processes and strategies are to be supported with managerial accounting and performance management concepts.

In selecting a company to analyze, first focus on information availability. If you work for the company, ensure that you can obtain the information required to do a proper job on this assignment. If you choose a company you do not work for, begin your search among larger public companies with ample information available. Company websites are often the best place to begin, in particular the investor relations site. Look for annual reports, quarterly reports, press releases, white papers, and other sources of information (e.g., public filings, such as for the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission at
