You will conduct a thorough assessment of the firm that runs a minimum of 15 pages. This includes an assessment of the firm and the industry. In terms of the firm, you should assess its strategy, structure, style, and staff. In terms of the industry, you should assess its competitors, customers, suppliers, strategic groups, and industry life cycle. You want to generate insight that the CEO of the firm doesnt even yet understand but finds valuable.
