In the following paper, each team member will analyze two companies who have faced similar issues as Harrison-Keys Inc. The analysis will include the issues each company faced, decisions made to address those issues, and the outcome of those decisions. Next, a synopsis will be given tying key course concepts to the issues and actions of each company identified.

Determining the best approach to these challenges requires leadership to evaluate the company's existing strategy and determine whether potential solutions (in the form of new projects) remain in harmony with strategic goals and objectives, or if the organization must update its strategy. This paper will identify several organizations that have faced similar issues to those faced by Harrison-Keyes, describe the situation and how it relates to these issues, and provide an evaluation of the outcome of each organization's approach.
