A. Methodology & AI Disclosure
How this analysis was produced
This deck was prepared by Temitope Mochiah as the final project for MBA 662. The strategic argument, company choice, market choice, framework application, and final recommendations are the author's own analysis, applying course material to a specific case.
AI assistance disclosure
For the record, here is how AI assistance was used:
- Background research. I used Anthropic's Claude (Opus 4.7) to help find candidate Canadian companies for the international expansion brief, to identify Nigeria's Electricity Act 2023 as a major turning point in the market, and to find primary sources on the 1999 Enron Lagos IPP failure. All claims were then checked against the original sources cited in the bibliography.
- Drafting support. Initial drafts for several slides were developed by me and revised with the help of AI, then further edited by me for accuracy, voice, and fit with course frameworks.
- Build support. The presentation infrastructure (Next.js application, React components, data visualizations) was built with AI help. All strategic content and analytical conclusions are mine.
When an AI-suggested fact could not be confirmed against a primary source within reasonable effort, I either removed it or marked it as an estimate.
Limitations
This is a coursework strategic case, not an actual investment recommendation. Financial figures are illustrative and based on publicly available comparables; they have not been independently audited. The author is not affiliated with JCM Power, and the strategy presented here does not represent JCM Power's actual plans or positions.
How sources were prioritized
Where possible, this analysis uses sources in the following order of preference:
- Primary legal and regulatory documents (Electricity Act 2023, ICC arbitration awards, federal gazettes)
- Multilateral institutional reports (World Bank, IFC, African Development Bank)
- Company-published material (JCM Power, JCM's development finance partners)
- Established Nigerian business and energy press
- Academic peer-reviewed sources
Social media, partisan blogs, and unverified claims were excluded.
