MGT 660 Topic 2 CLC External Factor Evaluation Matrix New
MGT 660 Topic 2 CLC-External Factor Evaluation Matrix and
Competitive Profile Matrix
This is a Collaborative Learning Community
(CLC) assignment.
Throughout this course, you will work in a CLC group on a
strategic case analysis project. This project consists of different parts you will
complete each week that build on each other.
Go to the Strategy Club website and review the Sample
Strategic Plan for Colgate-Palmolive (2019) under the student resources
section. This sample strategic plan is an example of what your completed
strategic case analysis should look like at the end of the course
An essential part of strategic analysis is identifying,
evaluating, and selecting strategies. The Strategy-Formulation Analytical
Framework assists you in this process. This framework consists of three stages
and nine tools. See Chapter 6 in the David text for an explanation of this
framework. Over the next few topics in the course, your CLC group will use many
of these nine tools.
In this assignment, you will use two of these tools by
completing the following:
Part
1: External Factor Evaluation (EFE) Matrix
Create an External Factor Evaluation Matrix for the CLC
group’s selected company by completing the following steps:
Step 1: See Chapter 3 of the David text to learn how to
complete an EFE Matrix.
Step 2: Open your Strategic-Planning Template you started
in Topic 1. Click on the EFE tab at the bottom of the template.
Step 3: Complete the matrix using the external
opportunities and threats you identified in the Topic 1 assignment. Make sure
the factors you include are actionable, quantitative, comparative, and
specific.
Step 4: Use the online sources listed in Table 3-7
located in Chapter 3 of the David text to assist you with your analysis and
calculations. Be sure not to include strategies as opportunities; but do
include as many monetary amounts, percentages, numbers, and ratios as possible.
Step 5: In 250-350 words, write a brief explanation of
the findings and implications of the data identified in the EFE Matrix. See the
Sample Strategic Plan for Colgate-Palmolive (2019) as an example.
Part
2: Competitive Profile Matrix (CPM)
Develop a Competitive Profile Matrix for your CLC group’s
selected company. Complete the following steps.
Step 1: Refer to Chapter 3 of the David text to learn how
to complete an CPM Matrix.
Step 2: Open your Strategic-Planning Template. Click on
the CPM tab at the bottom of the template.
Step 3: Refer back to the information provided for the
team’s project case that you initially reviewed in at the beginning of the
Topic 1 assignment and review the section on competitors. Also view online
resources that compare the company with their primary competitor, or, if
possible, two closest competitors. You should also use the sources listed in
Table 3-7.
Step 4: Prepare a CPM that includes the team’s company
and two primary competitors.
Step 5: In 250-350 words, write a brief explanation of
the findings and implications of the data identified in the CPM. See the Sample
Strategic Plan for Colgate-Palmolive (2019) as an example.
Submit the EFE Matrix, CPM and the brief explanation of
implications of each and what it means to the company. What steps could be
taken to improve the company’s competitive advantage? (500-700 words) Submit
all parts of the assignment as one deliverable.
Be sure to cite three to five relevant and credible
sources in support of your content. Use only sources found at the GCU Library,
corporate websites, or those provided in Topic Materials.
