I attached the reading that needs to be read, to complete this
1. include some type of write up or table chronicling the evolution of the external environment and the internal environment. Elements of the internal and external environments are included below. I would break it into the following dates (1980-1990, 1990, 1994-1995, End or 90s-early 2000s, 2002-2003, 2003-2008, 2008-2012, and 2013-present)
The external environment includes aspects such as government intervention to rectify the lax management of the clubs, Bosman ruling, globalization of soccer, and any other element external to the organization.
Internal environmental aspects include the arrival of Cruijiff, creation of La Masia, the training center, and any other element internal to the organization.
2. Who are the main players/actors interacting in the second part of the case? *Hint-there are two main ones.
a. What major event pushed Barca and the other clubs to reconsider how they do things?
b. Since Barca was experiencing both sporting and financial hardships just when it would have been possible for it to adapt a strategy similar to that of Manchester United, why did it not do so?
c. Read Appendix 3 found at the end of the assignment to grasp organizational identity. What are the elements of continuity and discontinuity in the organizational identity that usher in and characterize FC Barcelona’s golden age of both financial and sporting performance?
3. Finally, the case highlights the need for managers who need to be able to understand and operate effectively within increasingly complex organizations and environments.
a. From a management perspective, provide three practical recommendations for FC Barcelona moving forward.
b. Provide three takeaway points from this case.
