Discussion: Overview of the Organization
Students will discuss and research the following areas:
(a) organization introduction;
(b) organization background and history;
(c) organization vision, mission, and value statements;
(d) organizational reputation;
(e) organizational sustainability;
(f) SWOT analysis; and
(g) a conclusion.
Students will study many factors for organizational success, both internally and externally. For internal factors, students will study the strengths and weaknesses within the organization and the external factors in order to look at the opportunities and threats imposed upon our organizations. Researching these factors will help individuals stay ahead of competition (i.e., compete, survive) by modifying strategies that operate within an organization. As a result, there are many processes to analyze to build a strategic plan to meet the mission and goals as well as the future landscape (i.e., vision) of the organization, and improve operations and productivity, while remaining relatable to our customers.
