Analysis

Based on your advanced organizer and further research, analyze the degree of alignment between what the organization is currently doing (actions) and their mission, vision, values, structure, and culture.

Alibaba so far has been done great job, for China's yearly 24-hour 11/11 Global Shopping Festival reached 268.4 billion RMB. It defiantly made shopping much easier and faster. Now, doesn’t matter where you are, you can easy access Alibaba web to buy anything you want.

If no clear organizational goal exists, it will be difficult to achieve outstanding company-wide results. Goal-setting allows staff in every department and division to make decisions with the long or short-term target in mind, and to achieve tangible results. The goal must be a vision that all can share, see and strive toward daily in every aspect of their roles and duties. There needs to be a vivid picture of success that all can relate to and be inspired by.
