Exhibit 8–1 The Strategic Management Process




  Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall   8–7
Strategic Management Process
• Step 1: Identifying the organization’s current
  mission, goals, and strategies
   Mission: a statement of the purpose of an
    organization
           The scope of its products and services
   Goals: the foundation for further planning
           Measurable performance targets

• Step 2: Doing an external analysis
   The environmental scanning of specific and general
    environments
           Focuses on identifying opportunities and threats

Exhibit 8–2 Components of a Mission Statement




  Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall   8–9
Strategic Management Process
• Step 3: Doing an internal analysis
   Assessing organizational resources, capabilities, and activities:
           Strengths create value for the customer and strengthen the
            competitive position of the firm.
           Weaknesses can place the firm at a competitive disadvantage.

   Analyzing financial and physical assets is fairly easy, but
    assessing intangible assets (employee’s skills, culture, corporate
    reputation, and so forth) isn’t as easy.

• Steps 2 and 3 combined are called a SWOT analysis.
  (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats)



   Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall    8–10
Strategic Management Process
• Step 4: Formulating strategies
   Develop and evaluate strategic alternatives
   Select appropriate strategies for all levels in the
    organization that provide relative advantage over
    competitors
   Match organizational strengths to environmental
    opportunities
   Correct weaknesses and guard against threats



  Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall   8–11
Strategic Management Process
• Step 5: Implementing strategies
   Implementation: effectively fitting organizational
    structure and activities to the environment.
   The environment dictates the chosen strategy;
    effective strategy implementation requires an
    organizational structure matched to its requirements.

• Step 6: Evaluating results
   How effective have strategies been?
   What adjustments, if any, are necessary?
