Module 2 - SLP
STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT: EXTERNAL ANALYSIS

External Analysis of your Chosen Organization's Environment

In 2–3 pages, perform either a PEST analysis or a Porter’s 5 Forces analysis of your organization (whichever you think is most relevant. You may do both if you’d prefer). If you chose a public organization such as a military unit, keep in mind that competition between military units for funding can be a very real aspect of strategic planning. Resources are not always abundant. Budgets and allocations are not always plentiful.
SLP Assignment Expectations

Follow the instructions above and then upload your paper at the end of this module.

Your paper should include an introduction stating the thesis, position, or central theme of your paper, a main body focusing on the key assignment specifications, and a conclusion concisely stating the main points of your analysis and the conclusions you reached.

Document your sources and provide in-text citations whenever you use information obtained from a background reading or other outside source, as well as a separate reference list at the end of the paper. You may use footnotes instead, if you prefer, but you must document where you got the information you are using in your papers.

The following criteria will also be used to assess your paper:

    Meets Assignment Requirements: Is it apparent that all writing requirements are specifically addressed?
    Critical Thinking: Has the student integrated course materials into a well-reasoned presentation of ideas?
    Writing: Is the paper clear and well written with an academic tone?
    Use of Sources: Did the student apply recent, relevant sources to support key points?
    Mechanics: Was the paper properly formatted to include proper use of in-text citations?
