Open latest issue of The Wall Street Journal and look for an article about new moves being made by a

corporation, specifically the decisions that are strategic.

At what level (Functional/Business/Corporate) is each of the decisions that you identified? Why do you

believe this to be the case?

What is your assessment of these decisions? Will they be effective? Why? How have you decided this?

Guidelines:

Before carrying out a SWOT analysis, consider the following guidelines:

 Be realistic about strengths and weaknesses. When performing a SWOT analysis on your business, be neither modest nor overly optimistic.

 Consider answers from the company’s point of view and from the point of view of customers, vendors, distributors, and others who do business with them.

 Distinguish between where the organization is today and where it could be in the future.

 Note that the SWOT is subjective. No two persons will come up with the same SWOT.
