Read the Tesla case and post your response to the following (see assigned factors below and state in your response which factor you are discussing):
Based on the case, evaluate if your assigned PESTEL factor has a strong, medium, or weak impact on the industry and whether it creates an opportunity or is a threat. Provide the specific data that is offered on this factor to support your position (cite page #).
Based on the case, evaluate if your assigned Five Forces factor is strong (negative impact), medium, or weak (minimal impact) in this industry. Provide the specific data that is offered on this factor to support your position (cite page #).
For class discussion (no written response required) consider how you can apply the strategic groups model to the industry that Tesla is in. Think about what two key dimensions you would use to cluster the companies in the industry.
A five to six sentence response is required for each question. Note that there is not a single “right” answer. After posting read your classmates responses and reply to at least one in this discussion thread. Be prepared to discuss your responses and comments in class.
