Part 1: SWOT Matrix

Construct a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) matrix by doing the following.

• Step 1: Follow guidelines provided in Chapter 6 of Strategic Management:: A Competitive Advantage Approach, Concepts, and Cases to      learn how to complete a SWOT matrix. Use your planning template to develop a SWOT matrix for your Tesla.
• Step 2: Include two strategies in each of the four (SO, ST, WT, WO) quadrants. Be specific regarding your strategies, avoiding generic terms      such as forward integration. Include notation (e.g., S4, T3) at the end of      each strategy. Utilize the research you have completed on your selected  case to date, including the company's most recent quarterly report as      given at the corporate website.

Part 2: BCG Matrix

Construct a growth-market share (BCG) matrix by doing the following.

• Step      1: Follow guidelines provided in Chapter 6 of Strategic      Management: A Competitive Advantage Approach, Concepts, and Cases to      learn how to create a BCG matrix.
• Step      2: Use your planning template to develop a BCG matrix for your      company. Use your selected company's most recent year-end financial data, and other information acquired earlier to assist you.
• Step      3: Fill in the left division column of the table with your selected Tesla's divisions/segments (or whatever terminology applies to      your particular company/industry). See an example of Coca-Cola in Chapter 1 of the textbook. Utilize the research you have completed on your      selected company to date and find information to fill in all the cells in      your data table from Chapter 1.

Part 3: IE Matrix

Construct an internal-external (IE) matrix by doing the following.

• Step 1: Follow guidelines provided in Chapter 6 of Strategic      Management: A Competitive Advantage Approach, Concepts, and Cases to      learn how to create an IE matrix. Specifically, use the information and      instructions in LO 6-6, Figures 6-10, 6-11, and 6-12 to assist you.
• Step 2: Use your planning template to develop an IE matrix for Tesla.

Part 4: Analysis

Use the work you completed for Parts 1, 2, and 3 to analyze the following in at least 500 words.

• Analyze the significance of the three matrices regarding their relevance for strategic planning. Include a description of the key information for each of the three matrices.
• Discuss how the information from your analysis will influence your recommendations for strategic plans to improve the position of Tesla.

In preparation for the final submission of the assignment, without prematurely determining and formalizing strategic goals and objectives, begin thinking about possible strategies to capitalize and add value to the organization based on the analysis of this information.
