For this Current strategies and SWOT Analysis of a company assessment, based on company documents, your research, and what the company does [decisions and behavior], figure out what strategies] it currently employs. Identify several key strategies [in the left-hand column] by name [drawn from textbook, Table 5.4, p. 134 &/or Porter’s generic strategies] in Table 5, below and briefly describe the firm’s actions or behavior which demonstrates the strategy in the right-hand column. Be sure to introduce the Table and its purpose; Strategies can be combined to produce a hybrid.

Note. Insert any general comments needed for the reader; include sources. If none, delete. For our purposes, 3-5 strategies are sufficient.
(Once Table 5 is complete, summarize in more detail what the firm is doing, why, and observed results, positive or negative. Include current technology deployment/use to support current strategies, including any associated issues, as well as results. Use the format below.)

Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) Matrix
(First, write a couple of sentences introducing the reader to the SWOT analysis section; introduce Table 6 by number & name. Second, construct a SWOT Matrix; you can draw from the IFE and EFE matrices. Third, identify specific SO, WO, ST, and WT actions [see text Figure 6.3-page 173 and discussion]; it isn’t necessary to explain any of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, or threats, unless you think it sets a more meaningful interpretative context. Fourth, create SO, WO, ST, and WT actions as those may drive new strategies [Table 5.4, p. 134 or Porter generic strategy]; Fifth, integrate findings from the SWOT into the SPACE and BCG matrix analyses, as relevant and instructive.).
SO Strategies (Left Margin Heading)
(Explain each SO strategy; tie it to a specific strategy, as applicable, e.g., product development, backward integration; and link to any one of the firm’s current strategies, if relevant.)

(Explain each WO strategy; tie it to a specific strategy, as applicable, e.g., product development, backward integration; and link to any one of the firm’s current strategies, if relevant.
ST Strategies (Left Margin Heading)
(Explain each ST strategy; tie it to a specific strategy, as applicable, e.g., product development, backward integration; and link to any one of the firm’s current strategies, if relevant.)
WT Strategies (Left Margin Heading)
(Explain each WT strategy; tie it to a specific strategy, as applicable, e.g., product development, backward integration, and link to any one of the firm’s current strategies, if relevant.)
