A 14-20 slide presentation that draws examples from the research in comparing and contrasting the two companies you chose. Step ONE: Preparation – Narrowing Exercise The first part of the assignment is to identify and select two Fortune 500 companies to serve as case study examples. The method applied to narrowing the selection process is twofold: first, identify the current (within the last two years) 20 most profitable Fortune 500 companies; second, from this list of companies, identify two companies that are similarly aligned based on industry type. If you unable to identify two companies from the same industry type, then choose two companies from this narrowed list that you find particularly interesting and that are in some way indirectly related. Step TWO: Complete Item 1: Research Document for Each Organization Using the 13 questions below, develop a comprehensive research document for each of the two companies selected. You should a question and answer format. Because this document is unlike typical research papers with headings and expected sections, this Essay Question/Response example has been provided to illustrate the appropriate formatting. APA formatting for citations and reference page should be followed. Each question should be addressed in a paragraph (three to eight sentences) or as otherwise directed. You should include one to two references per question, properly cited with a reference page at the end of the document. Note that: • Each of your two company choices will be developed independently of each other and in the form of separate documents. • This part of the assignment is fact finding only and you should not form written opinions about either company. When you conduct your research, be thinking about your presentation. Carefully review the topics that you will need to cover in the presentation and make sure you collect the necessary information to completely address those topics. In addition to company websites, annual reports or other company publications, you will need to include at least ten academic, scholarly resources (outside company) to support your observations and the claims of the organizations to the fullest extent possible.

If your organization does not currently deal with hazardous/regulated materials, chose one that might be an issue in the foreseeable future to complete the following items. o Identify one policy or law related to hazardous/regulated materials that affects the organization’s supply management operations.
