Research your selected company duo. Select the one company in that duo that you want to conduct a quick
SWOT analysis on (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats). Select one of the identified
Weaknesses to develop a group or team that will investigate a possible solution for the weakness.
Your 2-page essay will cover the following topics:
Did you select to form a group or a team? (Explain the difference between them.)
What weakness did you select to research and why did you select it?
What steps will you take to develop the right team to turn this weakness into a strength?
What will you do if there are conflicts in the group?
