Examine the challenges faced by Capita PLC. The firm faces a challenging future; its share price dropped by roughly 90% between mid-2015 and April 2018; it has recently hired turnaround specialist Jon Lewis to transform the organization.
• Outline the reasons which have led to Capita’s situation, drawing on relevant academic theory. (35% of mark)
• Evaluate the efforts made thus far (up to the end of May 2018) to achieve a turnaround. You can make reference to developments after this date, but you should concentrate your analysis on the story up to the date specified. You should use ideas from the course to illuminate your analysis. (30% of mark)
• What further actions could be taken to transform the firm? Again, take the position as if you were making your proposals at the end of May 2018 (note your proposed actions would concern a period after this date: e.g. you might make proposals for actions to be taken over the following two years). If your proposals include selling or breaking up the firm, your discussion should include actions that should be taken subsequently by the purchaser(s). (35% of mark)
