[From 10$/Pg] E 10 OverallIntroduction: Managers who want to improve the effectiveness
of the future outcomes of their organization employ strategic planning. In a 20-25-slide
PowerPoint presentation, present a strategic plan for your organization, accompanied by a
References-only page as a Word.doc that contains the minimum 10 sources used in the
development of the presentation. Your presentation may be a re-developed plan based on
the plan your organization already uses. If you are in the military, you may elect to choose a
company where you previously worked or select a company. In any case, you will need to
begin by providing a brief history of the company, and then delve into the process detailed
more fully below. Accompany your writing with a minimum five scholarly journal articles
that support the assertions made in your strategic plan. You will also need to use at least
five other sources—books, magazines, websites, and even interviews—to augment your
data support for the presentation. Your strategic plan should address [Suggested number of
PPT slides in brackets]:The Name of the Company/Firm [1 PPT slide]Brief History of the
Company (or Organization), its Mission and Vision [2-3 PPT slides]Organizational Analysis
[5-6 PPT slides] : This section will present your identification of the firm’s strengths and
weaknesses, which emanate from your value chain and functional analyses. There is a
maximum of five strengths and five weaknesses and your presentation of them should be
prioritized. Exhibits are effective tools to provide strong support for each strength and
weakness. Please be as specific as possible and quantify your analysis where appropriate.
This section will provide the first part of the foundation for your identification of strategic
issues and related recommendations through your analysis of the organization’s core
competencies, competitive advantages and organizational weaknesses. Environmental
Analysis [5-6 PPT slides]: This section will present your identification of the major external
threats and opportunities currently facing the organization. These will be generated from
your analysis of the industry and general environmental factors in light of the organization’s
strengths and weaknesses. A maximum of five threats and five opportunities should be
identified and should be presented in a prioritized order. Use power point exhibits to
support your analysis, be specific and quantify your analysis where possible. This section
will provide the second part of the foundation for your identification of a strategic issue and
the formulation of related recommendations through your analysis of driving forces, key
success factors and industry attractiveness.Strategic Issues And Recommendations [6-7 PPT
slides]: Identify (with support) the most important strategic issue facing your organization.
It is extremely important that you clearly integrate the strategic issue with your analysis to

2. the organization’s SWOT. There may be interrelationships between particular weaknesses
and threats or missed opportunities, which should be recognized. It may be possible that 2
different weaknesses, 1 threat and 1 opportunity could be combined, due to their
relatedness, to form one strategic issue. Similarly, your recommendations should attempt to
capitalize and build upon strengths, competitive advantages and opportunities that you
identified. The point is to clearly ground your issue and recommendations with the internal
and external analyses so that the presentation is clear.Conclusion/Summary [1-2 PPT
