Assignment Task :
SECTION A
Answer the ONE question
Porter and Kramer (2006) state that effective CSR initiatives occur when shared value is created. CEMEX is considering the following CSR initiatives:
Partnering with the RSPB (Royal Society for Protection of Birds) in the UK to maintain 1,000 hectares of priority habitats
Expanding their local programs in the Philippines to bring seminars on health, nutrition and family planning to rural areas
Continuing development of “Vertua”, CEMEX’s Net-Zero CO2 concrete development. This new material reduces the carbon foot print of Concrete manufacture by 70%. CEMEX is looking to offset the remaining 30%.
Working with a consortium of global construction companies and other concrete manufacturers to create road construction techniques that required less concrete.
Providing financial support to the Museum of Modern Art in Mexico City to acquire a work by Frida Kahlo – who is considered one of Mexico’s greatest artists.
Use Porter and Kramer’s CSV framework to critically consider which, if any, of these initiatives CEMEX should adopt. (Up to 1000 words)
SECTION B

2. “A firm gains sustainable competitive advantage from the rare resources it owns”. Using examples from the CEMEX case study, critically discuss if this statement is correct. (Up to 1000 words)
3. Kim and Mauborgne (2005) challenge the idea that a successful strategy requires a trade-off choice between value and cost.

4. Critically evaluate Esquel’s corporate strategy using Campbell, Goold and Alexander’s (1995) parenting matrix. (Up to 1000 words)

What I received was great. I forgot to mention in the instructions field that I needed reference page and by default, there was 0 in the number of references. I was surprised to see a full-fledged reference page in my paper with relevant citations. Bravo!

When I first discovered this website I was hesitant on whether they will deliver a plag free paper. The support team reassured me of their plagiarism policy. In deed they kept their word as the paper I got was authentic and plagiarism free.
