Case Briefing Note:
Melinda Gates and Priscilla Chan have recently attended the biennial World
Advancement Conference where a number of aid delivery, engineering,
information technology, and education firms have showcased their products
for use in the development of infrastructure in developing countries.
Gates and Chan are very interested in stabilising developing regions and
enabling Project Loon as a method of distributing knowledge and advancing
these countries.
Of particular interest to Gates and Chan are the Pouncer Drone, the Spider
Light Strike Vehicle and the Rokon two wheel drive motorcycle, specifically for
rapid aid delivery.
Following this showcase, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the
Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, have engaged you to provide strategic advice for
the creation of a permanent aid delivery corporation.
You must form a corporation, and its immediate mission is to enable the
acquisition, delivery, and operation of essential life support items.
The corporation has been named the StratSynth Group.
StratSynth is not-for-profit and will be funded by the Giving Pledge.
You have received an immediate instruction from Priscilla Chan stating
Synstrat’s first objective will be to address, in a very public manner, the East
African Drought Crisis.
Your mission is to design an organisation to meet not only the current Chan
directive, but to meet future requirements in flood and disease stricken areas,
or areas that have been disadvantaged by decades of warfare or economic
denial.
The specific focus of the organisation is toward establishing long term
recovery and rehabilitation for stricken nations.
Your response should include the following:
1)     Introduction
2)     Background to the situation
3)     A PESTEL analysis describing the business landscape upon which
StratSynth will operate
4)     A Five Forces analysis of the likely competitors to StratSynth
5)     The business level resources and capabilities required for the StratSynth
mission
6)     Identification of five (5) organisations with the resources and capabilities
with which StratSynth may engage using Corporate Level Strategies.
1 A rationale explaining why each organisation should be included.
i.     The advice will include recommendations regarding implementing Joint
Venture, Equity Alliance, or NonEquity Alliance in each case.
7)     Address Melinda Gates’ interests in the firms producing the Pouncer
Drone, the Spider Light Strike Vehicle and the Rokon two wheel drive
motorcycle, and provide advice on whether these firms should be included in
the cooperative strategic relationships.
8)     Provide an organisational structure for a six (6) person Syntrat
Headquarters group, and include a brief role statement and rationale for each
individual employed.
9)     Provide a vision and mission statement for the Systrat Group. This
should include a positioning statement defining the cooperative stance of
Synstrat with other similarly aligned organisations.
