This document discusses environmental appraisal and business environment. It defines environment and describes the characteristics and types of business environment, including internal and external factors. The external environment is further divided into micro and macro factors. The roles of government in the business environment are regulatory, participative, and protective. Key sectors of the business environment are also outlined such as economic, international, market, political, regulatory, socio-cultural, supplier, and technological. The document also discusses environmental scanning, approaches to scanning, and SWOT analysis.
The document discusses various techniques for analyzing an organization's performance, including value chain analysis, quantitative analysis using financial ratios and non-financial metrics, comparative analysis against historical performance, industry norms, and benchmarks, and comprehensive analysis using tools like key factor rating, organizational capability profiling, and the balanced scorecard. Value chain analysis segments a company's activities into primary and support activities to understand where value is created. The balanced scorecard integrates financial and non-financial metrics across four perspectives: financial, customer, internal business processes, and learning and growth.
The document discusses strategic management and environmental scanning. It provides details on:
1) Conducting an environmental scan to understand external opportunities and threats through collecting information on early signals of change, competitor strategies, and market trends.
2) Performing an internal analysis using tools like SWOT and SAP to understand organizational strengths, weaknesses, and how to match capabilities to opportunities/threats.
3) Analyzing the industry using Porter's 5 Forces model and examining strategic groups within the industry to understand competition and customer segments.
The key goal is to understand the external environment and internal capabilities to develop strategies that position the organization for success. Regular scanning and analysis is needed to adapt to changing conditions.
This document discusses environmental scanning and analysis for organizations. It defines the environment as all external factors that influence an organization. It describes doing a SWOT analysis to understand internal strengths and weaknesses as well as external opportunities and threats.

The document discusses grand strategies that provide overall direction for strategic actions of firms operating in multiple industries or business areas. It outlines four main grand strategy alternatives: stability, growth, combination, and retrenchment. Stability involves remaining the same size or growing slowly, while growth can involve internal expansion or external diversification. Combination uses different strategies for different units, and retrenchment shrinks or sells off businesses. The document also presents a grand strategy matrix based on market growth and competitive position, outlining suitable strategies for each quadrant, such as market penetration, product development, or divestiture. It further defines various strategies like forward integration, divestiture, liquidation, and conglomerate diversification.
The document discusses strategic intent and the balanced scorecard approach to strategic management. It defines strategic intent as the purpose and direction an organization aims to achieve. Key elements of strategic intent include vision, mission, goals, and objectives. These elements form a hierarchy with the vision at the top as the long-term goal, followed by the mission which articulates how the vision will be achieved, then specific goals and objectives with metrics to evaluate performance. The balanced scorecard framework translates strategic intent into objectives and measures across financial, customer, internal process, and learning/growth perspectives.
The document outlines the strategic management process which involves 3 phases - strategy formulation, implementation, and evaluation and control. Strategy formulation includes determining the organization's mission and objectives, conducting a SWOT analysis, generating strategic alternatives, and selecting strategies. Implementation involves operationalizing the strategies. Evaluation and control examines whether objectives are being met and allows for corrective actions. Benefits of strategic management include envisioning the future, clarifying objectives, improving dynamics and responsiveness to the environment.
The document discusses the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) Matrix, which classifies businesses into four categories based on their relative market share and market growth rate. The four categories are stars, question marks, cash cows, and dogs. Stars have high market share and growth, while cash cows have high share but low growth. Question marks and dogs have low relative market share, with question marks in a high growth market and dogs in a low growth market. The BCG Matrix helps companies assess their product portfolios and allocate resources efficiently.
