Regardless the services or product an organization may have, strategic planning is crucial in today’s business environment. Now days, organizations are required to establish systematic ways to assess their strengths and weaknesses and study environmental impacts. In addition, companies must identify areas of opportunities to extend their competitive advantage. In short, an organization’s strategic management process approach is defined as the steps it takes to ensure that the reduction of value creation costs and value creation performance are formulated in ways that consumers are willing to pay more for the product than the cost to produce it. The strategic management process is a nine-step progression that encompasses the identification of the organization’s current mission, objectives, strategies, environmental analysis, SWOT analysis, strategy formulation and implementation, and lastly, the evaluation of results.
Running head: SWOT SWOT Daniel Goodman Cardinal Stritch University Instructor: Walter Wochos MGT 426: Marketing March, 14 2012 One of the components of strategic marketing planning requires the creation of a series of strategic alternatives, or choices of future strategies to pursue, given the company's internal strengths and weaknesses and its external opportunities and threats. The comparison of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats is normally referred to as a SWOT analysis. Strength: Strength is an inherent capability of the organization which it can use to gain strategic advantage over its competitors. Weakness: A weakness is an inherent limitation or constraint of the organization which creates strategic disadvantage to it. Opportunity: An opportunity is a favorable condition in the organizations environment which enables it to strengthen its position.
