Editor's Notes

  • #6 Determining the Organization’s Mission and Goals Defining the organization’s overriding purpose and its goals. Formulating strategy Managers analyze current situation and develop the strategies needed to achieve the mission. Implementing strategy Managers must decide how to allocate resources between groups to ensure the strategy is achieved.
  • #7 Division – business unit that has its own set of managers and departments and competes in a distinct industry Divisional managers – Managers who control the various divisions of an organization NBC national broadcasting company
  • #9 Corporate and business-level goals and strategies require long- and intermediate-term plans. Functional plans focus on short-to intermediate-term plans Most organizations have a rolling planning cycle to amend plans constantly.
  • #10 Corporate and business-level goals and strategies require long- and intermediate-term plans. Functional plans focus on short-to intermediate-term plans Most organizations have a rolling planning cycle to amend plans constantly.
  • #11 Planning seeks predict the future, but the future is unpredictable. By generating multiple possible “futures,” a firm can see how its plans might work in each and prepare for the possible outcomes. Scenario planning is a learning tool to improve strategic planning results.
  • #12 Mission Statement A broad declaration of an organization’s overriding purpose Identifies what is unique or important about its products Seeks to distinguish or differentiate the organization from its competitors Insurance company Unum collects 24 inspirational company mission statements in the infographic below, and they offer some interesting takes on the brands' self-perception. Many of them—Warby Parker, Nike, Google, Facebook, Ikea—are right on brand. Others, like Chevron, are a bit more peculiar. And a few—Coca-Cola and McDonald's jump right out—are way more aspirational than the products perhaps deserve. Unum doesn't put itself on the list, perhaps wisely. Its statement is: "Unum's mission is to be the leading provider of employee benefits products and services that help employers manage their businesses and employees protect their families and livelihoods."
  • #13 SWOT Analysis A planning exercise in which managers identify: Organizational strengths and weaknesses Strengths (e.g., superior marketing skills) Weaknesses (e.g., outdated production facilities) External opportunities and threats Opportunities (e.g., entry into new markets) Threats (increased competition)
  • #18 Exporting making products at home and selling them abroad Importing selling at home products that are made abroad Licensing allowing a foreign organization to take charge of manufacturing and distributing a product in its country in return for a negotiated fee Franchising selling to a foreign organization the rights to use a brand name and operating know-how in return for a lump-sum payment and a share of the profits Strategic alliance managers pool resources with those of a foreign company Organizations agree to share risk and reward Joint venture Wholly Owned Foreign Subsidiary managers invest in establishing production operations in a foreign country independent of any local direct involvement
