The assignment for the Week 6 Taking Sides Case will be "Staying On Top", case #16 from Business Week in the Text. This case is about Johnson & Johnson's quest to remain an outstanding company. You remember the Credo from Week 1 so this will give you greater insight on how Johnson & Johnson has achieved this status.
This assignment will involve the following three sections:

1. First identify the three most important strategy questions needing answers on how Johnson & Johnson can stay on top.

2. Then answer those questions from two differing perspectives. For example lets assume one question is: "Should Johnson & Johnson grow by acquisition or internal development to maintain the rate of historical growth?" One side would take the growth by acquisition strategy and the other side growth by internal development strategy. Both would provide several (2-4) convincing arguments for their respective perspectives based on case facts and/or outside research.

3. In conclusion, choose the most convincing perspective for each of the three questions and give your reasons.
