Instructions Assignment 2: Application of Porter's Five Force Strategy to the U.S. Auto Industry Porter's five-force strategy is a framework for qualitatively evaluating a firm's strategic position at the industry level, a marketplace in which closely related substitutable products or services are sold. Porter's analytical framework consists of those forces that affect a producer's ability to serve its customers and profitability. A change in any of these five forces requires a re-assessment of the firm position in the industry. According to this model, business success is primarily based on managers’ knowledge of the power of customers, the power of suppliers, competition in the industry, potential entrants, and substitute products. The extended rivalry from all five forces defines an industry’s structure and shapes the nature of competitive interaction within an industry. This research paper must be documented in Microsoft Word, APA formatted, 10 double-spaced pages long, and includes three scholarly peer-reviewed articles. I strongly recommend using the APUS library since the most acceptable resources can only be found in a protected database. Submit your paper in the Assignment section of the classroom by midnight, EST, Day 7. Your paper will automatically be forwarded to “Turnitin.com” for plagiarism review upon submission.

Assessment Description To begin the action research process, a researcher selects a focus and clarifies the vision and targets of the research. The annotated bibliography, a close review of current scholarly sources about a research topic, helps to clarify the vision and targets of the research and builds support for a research investigation. In Topic 1 you selected two areas of research for your action research study. Using the terminology learned in Topic 1, work towards preparing your proposal by analyzing current research and narrowing down your specific topic or focus. Use the “TCH-539 Proposal and Annotated Bibliography” template to help guide your action research proposal, annotated bibliography of current research, and develop research questions. Part 1: Preparing Your Proposal Your proposal is your research plan. You will use the proposal to present your research study to stakeholders for approval. Remember that you will only plan and draft the proposal in this course. A proposal contains your problem statement, purpose, research questions, methodology, design, and data collection plan, as well as ethical considerations and desired/anticipated outcomes. You will start your proposal in this topic assignment and complete it in later topics. To guide the focus of your research, complete the following: Identify the research area and the specific target or focus (problem) of your proposed action research. Choose one of the research areas, and include the corresponding target or focus from Topic 1. Identify the methodology/design you plan to use that is appropriate for the project. Write 2-3 research questions using the selected methodology and design. Part 2: Annotated Bibliography Locating and validating research studies available through the library and other online resources is an essential part of action research. Identifying whether the research is qualitative or quantitative will help you gain a deeper understanding of the terms and problem statements. Using the examples included in “TCH-539 Proposal and Annotated Bibliography” as a guide, examine four recent (not older than 3 years) research articles related to your target or focus. At least three of the selected articles must be peer-reviewed. Utilize the GCU Library resources listed in topic Resources to assist in finding applicable research articles. Each annotation should include a citation for a total of four scholarly resources; however, you do not need a separate references page. While APA Style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
