Strategic Plan \u2013 Individual Class Project<\/p>\n
1. Company Introduction<\/p>\n
Provide background information about the company such as when and who established it, where it is<\/p>\n
headquartered, what kind of products and\/or services it offers, where it does business, when it went<\/p>\n
public, and who are its key competitors.<\/p>\n

you modify the vision statement? Modify the vision statement according to new information gathered<\/p>\n
from strategic analysis.<\/p>\n
3. Mission Statement: Examine the mission statement. Is this a good mission statement? Discuss. How<\/p>\n

4. Corporate Governance (see corporate governance handout)<\/p>\n
5. Business Model<\/p>\n
A. Discuss how the company makes money.<\/p>\n
B. Discuss revenue stream by business unit.<\/p>\n
6. Competitor Analysis\/Benchmark Company: decide on a reasonable Company (competitor) for which<\/p>\n
to compare your company and discuss why you selected this company as a benchmark. Do not use an<\/p>\n
industry average.<\/p>\n
7. Situation Analysis – External Environment \u2013 changes in the external environment often present new<\/p>\n
opportunities and new ways to reach predetermined objectives. An environmental scan is performed to<\/p>\n
identify any available opportunities. The external environment has two components:<\/p>\n
1. Macro \u2013 environment<\/p>\n
~. PESTEL Analysis<\/p>\n
2. Micro \u2013 environment<\/p>\n
~. Porter\u2019s Five Forces model<\/p>\n
~. What does the Five Forces model tell you about the nature of the competition in the<\/p>\n
industry?<\/p>\n
3. How dynamic is the industry for which your company operates?<\/p>\n
4. Does the firm have a competitive advantage? Provide support and discuss.<\/p>\n
8. Situation Analysis – Internal Analysis<\/p>\n
1. Analyze the firm\u2019s internal resources via a VRIO analysis. What about the Resourced Base<\/p>\n
View (RBV) of the Firm?<\/p>\n
2. Does the firm have a core competency(s)? If so, does this core competency provide for a<\/p>\n
competitive advantage?<\/p>\n
3. Review: Competitor Analysis\/Benchmark Company: Have you selected a suitable<\/p>\n
benchmark\/competitor.<\/p>\n
4. Ratio Analysis. Included with an internal analysis are key ratios. Ratio Analysis: Provide a<\/p>\n
discussion of the firm\u2019s key Ratios, especially in comparison to a Benchmark Company (include<\/p>\n
DuPont Analysis). Collect 5 years of data for analysis. Include an Altman Z-Score graph (5 years)<\/p>\n
in the analysis. Use most recent Annual Report (do not use Quarterly report). Discuss what the<\/p>\n
numbers suggest about your company\u2019s financial health. You must use Excel to generate graphs,<\/p>\n
tables, etc. Please note: anything copied from internet sites (including graphs, tables, etc.) will<\/p>\n
not be accepted. You must also attach your Excel spreadsheet to your final paper for<\/p>\n
verification.<\/p>\n
Example Walmart Inc. http:\/\/financials.morningstar.com\/competitors\/industrypeer.action?t=WMT<\/p>\n
9. SWOT Profile \u2013 construct a table from your External and Internal Analysis research:<\/p>\n
(1) List of Strengths<\/p>\n
(2) List of Weaknesses<\/p>\n
(3) List of Opportunities<\/p>\n
(4) List of Threats<\/p>\n
10. Discuss in detail each SWOT point in the table.<\/p>\n
11. Problem Statement – Develop a problem statement as a result of your SWOT Profile. A problem<\/p>\n
statement summarizes and prioritizes the key issues facing the company. All firms have problems but for<\/p>\n
well-run firms like Apple it\u2019s not always obvious. You will, therefore, need to do a considerable amount<\/p>\n
of research. Prioritize problems.<\/p>\n
12. Strategy Formulation \u2013 Formulate strategies around those points listed in the Problem Statement.<\/p>\n
Focus on the most important problems which could have an impact on sustaining and\/or creating a longterm competitive advantage? Again, from your analysis, formulate strategies which will address the<\/p>\n
most important problems.<\/p>\n
a. Strategy formulation normally has two\/three levels or aspects, with the resulting<\/p>\n
recommendations in each level being consistent in order to ensure the formulation of strategies<\/p>\n
are cohesive, realistic and viable.<\/p>\n
1. Corporate Level Strategy<\/p>\n
2. Business Level Strategy<\/p>\n
3. Functional Level Strategy<\/p>\n
b. Will the recommendation require financing? If so, how will it be financed? Conduct an<\/p>\n
analysis to identify whether the strategies should be financed using common stock, debt, or a<\/p>\n
combination (i.e. 70% stock- 30 percent debt or 30% stock and 70% debt financing). Should you<\/p>\n
consider a recession, normal or boom scenarios.<\/p>\n
13. Strategy Implementation and Assessment and Control \u2013How will this strategy(s) be implemented?<\/p>\n
a. Discuss your implementation plan for the strategy(s).<\/p>\n
b. Does the firm need a change in any aspect of organization design and corporate governance?<\/p>\n
c. How will you monitor i.e. evaluate and control the implemented strategy(s) and firm<\/p>\n
performance?<\/p>\n
14. Conclusion \u2013 make some final remarks about the future of your company, the competitive<\/p>\n
environment in which it finds itself, and the extent to which the formulated and implemented strategies<\/p>\n
will work as designed.<\/p>\n
