Why is it important to include as      many of these components as possible in a company’s mission statement?
2. There are many analytical tools and      techniques available for companies to gauge not only where they stand      within the industry but to also assess their sustainability and      competitive advantage within the marketplace.  Why do you believe it      is an important step within a strategic planning process to conduct a SWOT      analysis?  How can a VRIO help an organization?
