The Accenture analysis

After outlining answers to the questions below, write a thoughtful five page (maximum) paper that summarizes your analysis, concerns and recommendations.

You are strongly encouraged to introduce additional information from outside research that brings the case up to date (this may be different from instructions from other professors).
