    Applicable Standard: None

    Policy: The Company should periodically (annually, at a minimum) conductan investigation and analysis of the market environment.

    Purpose: To develop an understanding of where and how the Company issituated and how it interacts with the business environment; torealistically evaluate its current situation and prospects in order todevelop a meaningful business (and marketing) strategy; to knowwhere the Company stands, where it wants to go, and how it is goingto get there; to leverage the Company's strengths and correct orminimize its weaknesses.

    Scope: This procedure applies to the Company President/CEO, theMarketing Manager, and the Sales Manager.

    Responsibilities: The CEO/President is responsible for ensuring the situationalanalysis is appropriate for developing marketing and sales strategies.

    Company's situation, analyzing the information, and preparing andpresenting a situational analysis report.

    Definitions: Situational analysis An in-depth process for developing anunderstanding of the needs of the customer, which involves acombination of data gathering techniques conducted from a varietyof internal and external perspectives; a methodology used to aid theorganization's strategic planning process; identifying, evaluating, andplanning around the organization's strengths, weaknesses,opportunities, and threats. Also known as a "SWOT analysis".

    SWOT Stands for "Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and

    Threats", aspects of a situational analysis.

    Procedure:

    SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS INTRODUCTION

    1.1 Strengths and weaknesses, when compared and contrasted with opportunities and threats,offer meaningful insight into the Company's condition and potential. The value of

    ____________________________________________________________________________________Sample Package Page 16 of 28

    situational analysis lies in bringing all this information together, helping the Companyevaluate and prioritize critical issues.

    1.2 The Strategy Team should review the MP1010-3 STAKEHOLDER ANALYSISREPORT and the MP1030-3 MARKET ANALYSIS and from those, assemble a list ofCompany and target market attributes. Attributes may beperceptual as well as factual;

    for example:

    Company Attributes Target Market Attributes

    Company size (sales volume, numberof employees/locations, etc.)

    Breadth of product/service line

    Financial soundness

    Uniqueness, quality ofproducts/services

    Company management structure

    Highly-skilled, trained, qualified

    employees ISO 9001 certified

    Small but diverse customer base

    Not technologically astute (savvy)

    Small businesses (< $5,000,000annual sales)

    Privately-held, stand-alone firms

    Major purchasing/leasing decisionsmade or approved by President/CEO/owner

    In business < 5 years

    Sales growth rate averaging > 20%per year

    Outsourcing some back-officefunctions (e.g., payroll, Web design)but not key functions

    1.3 The Strategy Team should consider a wide range of attributes/issues. However, allattributes should be realistic andshould be evaluated realistically.

    ASSESSING THE COMPANY'S SITUATION

    2.1 The Strategy Team should list the Company's strengths the Company's strengths and

    those of its products/services on MP1040-1 SWOT ANALYSIS WORKSHEET,section "A". Strengths arepositive internal attributes the Company has control overthem and, therefore, should maintain, strengthen, or utilize (leverage) them to itsadvantage.

    (NOTE: Examples of Company strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats areshown on the MP1040-1 SWOT ANALYSIS WORKSHEET following this procedure.)

    2.2 The Strategy Team should list the Company's weaknesses negative internal attributesthat it should work to stop, remedy, or prevent in section "B" of MP1040-1.

    2.3 The Strategy Team should list opportunities in section "C" of MP1040-1. Opportunitiesare typically external events or issues that represent the Company'spotential what the

    Company can be ifit recognizes andacts appropriately on the right opportunities. TheTeam should check as many sources of information (government reports, industry/tradeor general news media, word of mouth, etc.) as possible for awareness and knowledge ofopportunities.

    2.4 The Strategy Team should list threats in section "D" of MP1040-1. Threats are usuallyexternal in nature they are outside the Company's ability to control them. Threatsrepresent the Company's negative potential, or what the Company will become if it failsto recognize andappropriately deal with threats. Awareness and knowledge of threats

    comes from listening to or searching as many sources of information (governmentreports, news media, word of mouth, etc.) as possible.

    SCORING ATTRIBUTES

    3.1 The Strategy Team should score (rank) Company or product strengths on the basis of

    differentiation. If the market wants a certain product feature and your product is the onlyone that has it, that feature differentiates your product from the competition. If most orall competitors have the same feature, it doesn't differentiate your product from the rest.

    (See MP1040-1 SWOT ANALYSIS WORKSHEET, right side of sections A-D, forguidance on scoring/ranking strengths, weaknesses, etc.)

    3.2 The Strategy Team should score Company/product weaknesses according to how muchof an impact they are having (or could have, if not corrected) on the Company's ability tocompete or satisfy the needs of the market. As an example, the Team would score "donot receive orders via the Web" high if some or all competitors could take orders on theirweb sites.

    3.3 The Strategy Team should score Company/product opportunities by balancing thepotential risks and rewards associated with each. Every opportunity has an upside and adownside the Team has to decide whether the rewards promised are worth the risk offailure (see Figure 1).

    3.4 The Strategy Team should score Company/product threats based on the likelihood oftheir happening andthe potential impact to the business if or when the threat materializes(see Figure 2).

    3.5 The Strategy Team, having listed and scored strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, andthreats, should lay them out in a "SWOT matrix" (see MP1040-1, section "E") to promotediscussion and help Team members understand how these attributes fit into the big

    picture.

    ANALYZING THE DATA

    The Strategy Team should identify and list the Company's competition (chief competitors, atleast). It should then make a list of each competitor's strengths and weaknesses.

    The Strategy Team should use MP1040-2 COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS WORKSHEET to listimportant attributes strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (col. 1) andindicate where the Company places with regard to those attributes (col. 2).

    The Strategy Team should next address the competition how they compare with the Company,attribute for attribute, in columns 3-5 of MP1040-2.

    The Strategy Team should identify which attributes are of greatest importance to the marketplacein column 6 of MP1040-2, to help the Company focus its attention and resources onstrengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats that are most important to the market.

    SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS REPORT

    The Strategy Team should prepare a preliminary (draft) report, using MP1040-3 SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS REPORT for guidance.

    Executive Summary The Strategy Team should present a concise overview of thesituational analysis, summarizing the sections of the report that follow it. Though thissection is presented first, the Strategy Team should develop it after all the othersections are complete.
