ASSIGNMENT 02 SEMESTER 01
MTN Group
INTRODUCTION
In this task, we will examine MTN Group Limited's internal environment using various
strategic management frameworks. By reviewing the MTN Group Limited Integrated
Report for the year ending December 31, 2022, we will address a series of questions
through essay-style responses.
Initially, we will utilize the Resource-Based View (RBV) model to scrutinize MTN's internal
environment, emphasizing the company's resource allocation and offering illustrative
instances to reinforce our assessment. Subsequently, we will employ the four-corner
analysis to evaluate a significant competitor within the industry, projecting their
forthcoming actions and strategies.
Subsequent to that, we will delve into the notion of capabilities and apply functional
analysis to pinpoint and elucidate MTN's capabilities, correlating them with the functional
domains of the organization. Lastly, we will select a cellular phone brand and elucidate
the cost leadership strategy it pursues. To accomplish this assignment, access to the
MTN Group Limited Integrated Report and a comprehensive grasp of strategic
management models and principles are requisite.
