external environmental analysis

/0 Comments/in /by

Assignment:

Exercises:

1. What part does external environmental analysis play in the development of value adding support strategies? What part does strategy formulation play?

2. What are the basic building blocks of structure? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?

Professional Development:

Case #3: Community Blood Center of the Carolinas: Donations, Donations, Donations

Using Exhibit 9-6 (pp. 375 & 376) as an example, complete a strategic thinking map that compares the results of an internal environmental analysis against the value adding support strategies requirements. This map will extend and further articulate the strategic thinking maps developed in strategy formulation and the development of the service delivery strategy.

The value adding support strategies provide a powerful means to change the organization and create a competitive advantage, especially because some of the value assign support activities are less visible to those outside the organization, making the competitive advantage much more difficult to imitate or duplicate. Decisions concerning the organization’s culture, structure, and resources are strategic in nature and should be made by strategic thinkers.

CLC business plan

/0 Comments/in /by

The CLC business plan is going to be on prevention of cardiovascular disease in the state of Maryland. As a culminating project, this assignment has two parts: an executive summary and a project plan created in either MS Project (PC) or Apple Merlin (MAC). Those experiencing problems with Project software may complete this portion of the assignment in Excel. Use prior course information and data gathered for your CLC Business Plan to complete this assignment. Write an executive summary of your CLC Business Plan. Write a project plan in Microsoft Project or Apple Merlin. Excel may be substituted as needed. Examine your CLC Business Plan: Extract the distinct activities needed to start up the business: (a) Identify tasks needed to complete the project. (b) Develop a completion schedule. (c) Assign resources to project tasks. Be creative. For example: If your plan calls for three nurses, you will need to plan for hiring, and training. Create arbitrary timelines for each activity. They could be very general (2 weeks to hire, 2 weeks to train) or they could dive much deeper (1 week to write hiring ad, 1 week to place ad, 2 weeks to accept applications, 1 week to review, 3 weeks for interviews, 1 week for offer-letters, 2 weeks to establish in HR system, etc.). Do this for each section of the CLC Business Plan. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required. This assignment uses a grading rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
