Grossmont College TikTok Case Analysis

I’m working on a case studies writing question and need support to help me study.

Read the articles outlined in the reading section that describe different aspects of the case. Then answer each of the questions below

Questions: 1. What factors in the external environment led to Trump assessing TikTok as a threat to America? Describe each factor and how it influenced Trump’s decision. Be sure to label which part of the PESTELE model the factor belongs to. Hint 1, TikTok being owned by a Chinese company, Bytedance, is a big part of this. Hint 2, all factors in the PESTELE model except ecological factors are relevant to this case.

2. How does Oracle’s partial ownership of TikTok and agreement to host data of American TikTok users in the US satisfy Trump’s national security concerns? What opportunities and threats does this present for Oracle?

3. How does Walmart’s partial ownership of TikTok represent a strategic opportunity for Walmart? What advice would have for Walmart on how to make the most of this opportunity?

4. How does the Oracle, Walmart, and TikTok deal potentially impact US based tech companies such as Facebook and Google that also have generate their revenue from individual consumer data?

5. Do you agree that TikTok was a threat to America (prior to Oracle and Walmart becoming part owners)? Do you agree that Walmart and Oracle partial acquisition makes TikTok not a threat to America? There is no wrong answer here, just give justifications for your reasoning
