Project 3: Internal Environmental Analysis

Corporate Level Strategy Analysis

There are three levels of strategy: corporate-level strategy, business-level strategy, and functional-level strategy. Corporate-level strategies are related to businesses or markets the focal company successfully can compete within. Corporate-level strategies affect the entire organization and are formulated by top management using middle and lower management input. Decision-making about corporate-level strategies is considered complex, affects the entire company, and relates to an organization’s resource capabilities. Corporate level strategies align with an organization’s mission statement and ideally are designed around goals and objectives. Perform an analysis on the Corporate-level strategies of the focal company. Use both course materials and company research for support.

Partial SWOT (SW) Table

Create a Partial SWOT Table highlighting at least five strengths and at least five weaknesses for the focal company. Provide a citation from company research for support for each of the strengths and weaknesses. Include these citations within the table.

III. SW Analysis

Perform an SW analysis, and discuss the strategic inferences/implications of the strengths and weaknesses on the focal company. Discuss what strategies would allow the company to capitalize on its major strengths and what strategies would allow the company to improve upon its major weaknesses. Use both course materials and company research for support.

IFE Matrix

Create an IFE matrix and present an analysis of the scores. Make sure to explain how the matrix was developed, provide a justification for the weights and ratings used, and discuss the strategic inferences and implications. Use both course materials and company research for support.

Grand Strategy Matrix

Develop a Grand Strategy Matrix in order to identify the correct quadrant for your focal company. Explain how the matrix was developed and discuss the strategic inferences/implications for the focal company. Use both course materials and company research for support. (Note, you don’t have to draw a Grand Strategy Matrix, but at a minimum you must indicate which quadrant the focal company falls in and why.) Note: “Market Growth” means “Industry Growth”. Use 2022 and 2021 Industry Growth from CSI Market for this calculation.

The Business Level and Business-level Strategies
A.The Business Level

Evaluate the company’s product line, target market. Use company research and course materials for support.

B. Business-level Strategies

Identify and explain business-level strategies of the focal company. Use course materials and company research for support.

VII. Functional Level Strategies and Alignment

VII. A. Functional-level Strategies

Assess the company’s organizational structure and the organizational culture. Also, BRIEFLY describe any marketing, production, operations, finance and accounting, and R&D that can be accomplished by viewing the company’s website or interviews. Use course materials and company research for support.

VII. B. Alignment of Functional-level Strategies

Explain how these strategies align with the company’s vision and mission statements. Use course materials and company research for support.

VIII. Strategic Financial Analysis for the Last Reported Fiscal Year VIII. A. Financial Ratios for Company

Use the company’s income statement and balance sheet to calculate four (4) key financial ratios, OR, obtain the 4 ratios from Statista or CSI Market. One key ratio must come from each of the four key categories: leverage, liquidity, profitability, and efficiency. The four (4) specific ratios selection must come from the following categories.

Leverage Ratios (Long term debt ratio, Total debt ratio, Debt-to-equity ratio, Times interest earned ratio, and Cash coverage ratio)

Liquidity Ratios (Net working capital to total assets ratio, current ratio, quick ratio, and cash ratio)

Efficiency Ratios (Asset turnover ratio, average collection period, inventory turnover ratio, and Days sales outstanding)

Profitability Ratios (Net Profit Margin, Return on Assets, and Return on Equity)

The selection of the ratios has to be relevant to the focal company, so it is important to choose wisely. Citations should be provided to demonstrate the origin of these ratios from company research.

VIII. B. Financial Ratios for Industry

Quote industry financial average ratios correlate to the four (4) financial ratios selected for the focal company. You may find the industry averages through Statista or CSI Market (see Library Resouces and Support sections above). Provide a citation from industry research for each ratio.

VIII. C. Financial Analysis

Explain the importance of the four (4) averages you chose to use (in other words, why are these ratios relevant for this company and its industry?). Then compare the company and industry ratios and comment on whether each ratio is a Strength or a Weakness for the company, in comparison to the industry average. Support this analysis with both course materials and company/industry research.

Composite Analysis/Conclusion

The one-paragraph conclusion is intended to highlight the key 3-4 key findings, consequences, and recommendations resulting from your analysis. Comment on both the qualitative findings (from the matrices) and the quantitative findings (from the financial analysis). Support this composite analysis with both course materials and company research
