Deliverable 3 - Strategic Management Analysis
Competency
Formulate strategies based on an external and environmental analysis.
Instructions
All of the six organizations (Google, Walt Disney Company, Amazon, P&G, 3M,
or Ford Motor Company) you chose from have invested in different methods of
analysis to gain and retain industry standing. The threats and
opportunities that exist for an organization are identified through
studying and appraising the external environment. In order to be
competitive, an organization must look closely at these aspects to properly
formulate a successful strategic plan.
Write a three-page APA formatted paper with at least two outside sources
(in addition to the text) incorporating the following aspects:
Organizations as Open Systems:
One key aspect is the “Environment as Information Perspectives.” Discuss
what was determined to be the environmental uncertainty for your chosen
organization.
Another important aspect is the “Environment as Source of Resource
Perspective.” Discuss the way in which management has been able to attain
and regulate these critical resources for your organization.
Provide a breakdown of these two perspectives to better see how they can be
applied. If these perspectives are not readily available for your
organization, you may infer them from information about the organization
that is available.
External and Environmental Analysis:
Within the specific environment, multiple variables exist. Discuss which
two of the five competitive forces were found to be most valuable and why.
The general environment also needs to be examined. There are five sectors
that should be analyzed. After evaluating each, discuss which two you
believe will most impact the strategic management plan for your chosen
organization and why.
In addition to the aspects above, please share the advantages and
disadvantages that exist when performing an external analysis. What did you
find to be the most beneficial and detrimental factors during this
analysis? Incorporate information from the readings, your research, and
personal experience (using APA citations where appropriate).
