...INTRODUCTION It is useful to consider strategy formulation as part of a strategic management process that comprises three phases: diagnosis, formulation, and implementation. Strategic management is an ongoing process to develop and revise future-oriented strategies that allow an organization to achieve its objectives, considering its capabilities, constraints, and the environment in which it operates. Diagnosis includes: (a) performing a situation analysis (analysis of the internal environment of the organization), including identification and evaluation of current mission, strategic objectives, strategies, and results, plus major strengths and weaknesses; (b) analyzing the organization's external environment, including major opportunities and threats; and (c) identifying the major critical issues, which are a small set, typically two to five, of major problems, threats, weaknesses, and/or opportunities that require particularly high priority attention by management. Formulation, the second phase in the strategic management process, produces a clear set of recommendations, with supporting justification, that revise as necessary the mission and objectives of the organization, and supply the strategies for accomplishing them. In formulation, we are trying to modify the current objectives and strategies in ways to make the organization more successful. This includes trying to create "sustainable" competitive advantages -- although most competitive advantages are eroded...

...The Trade-Weighted Effective Exchange Rate Index, a common form of the effective exchange rate index, is a multilateral exchange rate index. It is compiled as a weighted average of exchange rates of home versus foreign currencies, with the weight for eachforeign country equal to its share in trade. Depending on the purpose for which it is used, it can be export-weighted, import-weighted, or total-external trade weighted. The trade-weighted effective exchange rate index is an economic indicator for comparing the exchange rate of a country against those of their major trading partners. By design, movements in the currencies of those trading partners with a greater share in an economy's exports and imports will have a greater effect on the effective exchange rate. In a multilateral, highly globalized, world, the effective exchange rate index is much more useful than a bilateral exchange rate, such as that between the Australian dollar and the United States dollar, for assessing changes in the competitiveness due to exchange rate movements. The invisible balance or balance of trade on services is that part of the balance of trade that refers to services and other products that do not result in the transfer of physical objects. Examples include consulting services, shipping services, tourism, and patent license revenues. This figure is usually generated by tertiary industry. The term 'invisible balance' is especially common in the United Kingdom. For countries that rely on service...

Four critical information-related areas that give Zara its speed include: Collecting information on consumer needs: trend into information flows daily, and is fed into a database at head office. Designers check the database for these dispatches as well as daily sales numbers, using the information to create new lines and modify existing ones thus, designers have access to real-time information when deciding with the commercial team on the fabric, cut, and price points of a new garment. 58 Standardization of product information different or incomplete specifications and varying product information availability typically add several weeks to a typical retailer's product design and approval process, but Zara “warehouses” the product information with common definitions, allowing it to quickly and accurately prepare designs, with clear cut manufacturing instructions. Product information and inventory management being able to manage thousands of fabric and trim specifications, design specifications as well as their physical inventory, gives Zara's team the capability to design a garment with available stocks, rather than having to order and wait for the material to come in.

...Engineering ppt download (2016), "Software Engineering 9 – Solutions Manual". Systems must change because as they are installed in an environment the environment adapts to them and this adaptation naturally generates new/different system requirements. Furthermore, the system's environment is dynamic and constantly generates new requirements as a consequence of changes to the business, business goals, and business policies. Unless the system is adapted to reflect these requirements, its facilities will become out-of-step with the facilities needed to support the business and, hence, it will become less useful. Examples of process activities that support change are: 1. Record-Keeping of requirements rationale so that the reason why a requirement is included is known. This helps with future change. 2. Requirements traceability that shows dependencies between requirements and between the requirements and the design/code of the system. 3. Design modeling where the design model documents the structure of the software. 4. Code refactoring that improves code quality and so makes it more amenable to change(Sommerville, 2010).

...Strategic initiatives can be defined as the means through which a vision is translated into practice and are collections of finite – duration discretionary projects and programs, outside of the organization’s day – to – day operational activities, which are designed to help the organization achieve its targeted performance (en.wikipedia.org). The strategic initiatives from our list include the following: 1. Efficient Consumer Response (ECR): Lean Manufacturing Japan (2008) stated that ECR “is a strategy to increase the level of services to consumers through the close cooperation among retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers. Lean Manufacturing Japan (2008), also stated that “ECR reduces the opportunity loss, inventory level, and entire cost, increases monetary profitability by sharing the purpose of customer satisfaction. 2. Just – in – Time (JIT): simply means getting the right quantity of goods at the right place and right time and it originated from Japan after World War II by Toyota Motor Company (Reid & Sanders, 2007). There are three elements of JIT which are: Just in time manufacturing, Total Quality Management and Respect for people. 3. Lean System: Also known as Just – in – Time. Lean simply means the elimination of waste, with perfect quantity to meet demand instantaneously. Lean has four elements which are: Customer focus, synchronized flow, behavior and waste elimination (Slack &Lewis, 2011). Lean operations help to reduce cost, gives higher quality, reduce lead...
