This simulation illustrates the use of Public Relations to develop a Public Relations plan and to use its various tools to manage a crisis” (University of Phoenix, 2010).

The MCA has been dedicated to displaying, collecting and interpreting contemporary art since it first opened its doors to the public in November 1991 (MCA, 2014). The beginning of the MCA was due to an Australian artist, John Power, who left his fortune to the University of Sydney when he passed away. The University of Sydney, on Power’s request, used this money to educate and inform Australians about contemporary art. This eventually led to the NSW Government donating the old Maritime Services Board premises to the cause. This location is where the MCA remains today. The following paper will analyse critical elements involved in the MCA’s strategic operations. Beginning with the mission, goals and objectives, followed by an external environmental analysis and an internal capability analysis. The majority of the paper will discuss proposed strategies and finally required resources. MISSION & VISION STATEMENTS ...

...of the acquisition process explains how a supply professional understands strategic requirements, describes the differences between needs identification and commercial equivalents, explains the value of early supplier involvement, and examines the advantages and disadvantages of performance specification. Supply management focuses on the entire acquisition process, and a supply professional must understand an organization’s strategic requirements to provide value and best buy opportunities for an organization. Part of the acquisition process includes “need identification.” An organization’s needs are what is required by either internal or external purchasers of the organization. Need criteria can be strategic in nature such as the financial implications or impact of the requirement and the amount of risk reduction the acquisition provides (Johnson, Leenders, & Flynn, 2011). For example, purchasing from a known supplier at a higher price versus purchasing from an unknown supplier whose reputation has yet to be proven may provide a cost savings but opens the company up to added risk. Other strategic attributes may allow for revenue enhancement, access to new technology or markets, or competitive benefits (Foster, Wallin, & Ogden, 2011).
