what essential skills, competencies, and capabilities will be CRITICAL in order for Trader Joe’s to survive or thrive in the future? Why?

Case Analysis with Discussion: KSF Analysis—Integrating Internal Resource and External Ecosystems Analyses: Trader Joe’s and U.S. Food Retailing RevisitedTrader Joe’s and the Food Retailing Sector RevisitedIn Week 3 you utilized the case study, “Trader Joe’s” (Ager & Roberto, 2013), to analyze the current skills, competencies, and capabilities along Trader Joe’s value chain, which included supplier- and customer-related activities. For this week’s case analysis, you will use your prior work on the skills, competencies, and capabilities of Trader Joe’s, but now you will re-analyze your findings relative to the implications of a quick run-through of both general force (P.E.S.T.) and competitive force (five-force) analysis of the food retail sector in the United States.The goal of this week’s analysis is to compare your current skill, competencies, and capabilities analysis of Trader Joe’s with what your think the future Key Success Factors (KSFs) for the company will be, drawing on data you research about the industry.To develop the KSFs, consider which core skills and capabilities Trader Joe’s currently has (from your prior analysis). Then, based on a quick and less formal general P.E.S.T. and competitive ecosystem five-forces analysis, determine which critical skills, competencies, and capabilities Trader Joe’s must develop or acquire in order to thrive over the next 5 years.The logic of the KSF analysis requires you to bring strategic analysis of external issues together with an evaluation of internal skills and capabilities for the first time. Remember, ALL strategy comes down to (1) how you deploy your current skills, competencies, and capabilities, how you develop or redevelop those, and how you augment them via more investment/training, purchase, or acquisition; and (2) what you decide to do with those skills in the future.So, this week you are moving into “future thinking” mode, and are considering “what are the Key Success Factors for the future?”To prepare for this Discussion:Review all required readings, including the Weekly Briefing, which provides additional guidance on how to complete the assignment.Review your analysis of Trader Joe’s from Week 3 and review your original research on the company and industry.Conduct additional research on the U.S. food retailing industry to obtain some insights about future threats and opportunities in the industry.Identify and review all relevant readings from the Capstone Program Bibliography.By Day 3, post a polished Key Success Factor analysis that responds to each of the prompts below:Based on your projections for the implications of FUTURE five-forces of competition, P.E.S.T. (general environment), and stakeholder support (or stakeholder challenges), what essential skills, competencies, and capabilities will be CRITICAL in order for Trader Joe’s to survive or thrive in the future? Why? Support your evaluation with evidence and reasoning linked to appropriate knowledge.Note: These critical areas may be the same as in the past, BUT they may not. Think this through carefully and use your innovative and economic thinking skills from prior courses. You must become futurists to be good strategists, which means there IS some ambiguity about the bets you will be making (that’s one of the responsibilities of senior leadership).Identify critical gaps in the skills, competencies, and capabilities that Trader Joe’s currently has versus what you think they will need in the future. Think about how Trader Joe’s can bridge that gap. If Trader Joe’s were to hire you as consultant to provide strategic direction in what specific skills, competencies, and capabilities the company should invest in or acquire (and how), which would you emphasize as critical and why?Be sure to integrate concepts and quotes from this week’s readings. To obtain an exemplary assessment, you must also integrate at least one resource from the university MBA Program Capstone Bibliography as well.General Guidance: Your original discussion post for the Capstone Forum will typically be 1 to 1 ½ single-spaced pages (cut and paste into the DQ area), excluding references. Refer to the Week 6 Discussion 1 rubric for grading elements and criteria. Your Instructor will use the rubric to assess your work.

Explain how each of your choices was an effective policy to thwart international communist expansion.

Some of you all have lived through the end of this era. For me as a child, I don’t remember being psychologically scared of an atomic bomb, but my wife does. When high flying jets would fly overhead, she would be afraid. Even red lights.There were various cues around that reminded you of the Cold War. You would see the evacuation signs on various buildings, showing a safe shelter. You would see advertisements in magazines for underground shelters you could build in your own yard!President Kennedy started an initiative for fallout shelters in 1961, so that by 1963, there were 17,000 places just around New York City located that could offer shelter in case of nuclear disaster, or the like (Buck, 2017).And of course, on television they would have the test, an eerie, scratchy test for about 15 seconds, followed by the statement that in the event of a national emergency, they would be able to use this channel.These are just a few samples of what was going on in society. Let’s enjoy this conversation about the Cold War, and hope that it never visits us again.You’ll be initially selecting three of the following to interact with:Marshall PlanBerlin AirliftContainmentAnti-Communist Freedom FightersVietnam (conflict) WarDétente’SALT I & SALT IICamp David AccordsStrategic Defense Initiative (nicknamed “Star Wars”)Thanks very much!ReferenceBuck, S.

Do the early policy-makers advocate for positions which make strategic sense? Why or why not?

PromptThus far in our class we have read and discussed a wide variety of arguments for specific foreign policies beginning with the early Republic though the start of the Second World War. Doing so has allowed us to see how certain ideas, arguments, and themes have changed in response to new threats and opportunities. Although all of these arguments were made prior to the advent of modern game theory, they all nevertheless employ implicit or explicit strategic logic. Indeed, given our readings in the intellectual development of US foreign policy, it is clear that the earliest statesman of the United States understood the role of strategy and advocated for policies which they believed were in the best interests of America’s strategic place in the world.In this essay, you are to select 4 selections from previous readings and analyze their strategic logic. You can choose any selections that we have read thus from Ideas and American Foreign Policy. Possible questions to consider include (but are not limited to):Do the early policy-makers advocate for positions which make strategic sense? Why or why not?Are there lessons from the early history of American foreign policy which can be applied today?Why do several others seem to point to the same principle but reach different conclusions? Is it because some misunderstood or were misrepresenting the principle, or because the application of the principle changed according to different fact-patterns in the changing landscape of international politics?Is America safer with a foreign policy of engagement with the world or with a turning away toward insular concerns?GuidelinesYour paper should follow the standard 5 paragraph essay, with one paragraph for an introduction, one for a conclusion and three well-written paragraphs which defend or otherwise advance your thesis. If necessary, you may include an additional 2 paragraphs for a total of 7 paragraphs. Your paper should therefore be about 1000-1400 words.Your paper must have a clearly defended thesis. You must also rely only on the texts to justify your position. Outside citations are not permitted: this is not a research paper but a sustained reflection on the course to this point.You be graded on the quality of your thesis, evidence, logic, formatting, and spelling/grammar.The best papers will, in addition to a clearly articulated and defended thesis, format their papers in line with the Chicago Manual of Style. Papers should use 1? margins on all sides, use 12pt Times New Roman Font, and double spaced text. Include a formatted title page. For additional information on these guidelines, see the formatting handout given in class.
