...To: Upper Management From: Jimmy Blodgett Subject: External Analysis of U.S. Cola Industry Date: August 31, 2014 Purpose of the Report Per your request, our team has spent the last month analyzing the competitive environment of the cola industry in the United States. Utilizing tools such as the Porter’s Five Forces Framework and PESTEL (political, economic, social, technological, ecological, legal factors) we were able to better create an external analysis of the industry. These tools are necessary in performing a successful external analysis. Throughout this memo we will apply these tools to the cola industry and we will highlight how these tools helped us to form a decision. Based off of our findings in the analysis, it is our recommendation that we should not launch a new product within the cola industry. Threat of Entry Remains Low The Cola industry in the United States is dominated by two competitors, Coke and Pepsi. These two firms accounted for 72% of the U.S.’s CSD market sales volumes in 2009 (“Cola Wars Continue”, pg.2). There are many social factors that account for this advantage. Both Coke and Pepsi began operations in the late 1800’s and they have used their history to build strong customer loyalty. Coke has even focused their advertising around the use of their product being a typical part of the American lifestyle (“Cola” pg.6). With such strong customer loyalty it would be extremely challenging for any new product to...

...Prof. Cesar Strategic Planning for the Navy in recent years have been focused more on cyber security because most nations or threats are not on the sea but rather from far off distances. * Technology has been increasing during the last ten years and being on top of that helps the Navy conquer against threats and using different analysis tools on a regular basis helps keep the security intact. * Being to rely on technology for everything in the Navy can be an issue because that leaves more areas that can be exploited. * Funding has been an issue because the wars are dying down and the threats that were there before are dwindling * The people being used are more in the civilian sector because of their expertise. * Also increasing the value of the sailors or employees is a mission that the Navy has been trying to improve with retention in mind. * Manning has also been an issue through the years with people being lost because that means more people have to do more than just one job. * The analysis systems the Navy will be using to improve the manning, inventory, and also the community. * The three sources all have different views on the strategic planning for the next couple years and the first was cyber security (Competitive Intelligence, pg. 42-44) and technology, the second was manning (Social Capitol, pg. 137-144) and the sailors (Human Capitol, pg. 127-136), and the last is more about presence through global support (Porters. pg 55-68). ...

Having direct control over hiring, ordering and customer service, she has built the company into an expanding entity. The following is a discussion of strategy implementation, technology and opportunities, strategic recommendations and external forces to be aware of.

...Implementing Strategic Management Processes to Manage Change within the Canadian Forces Military Police Scott A. Shannon MMPA 6465 - Strategic Planning: Collaboration, Cooperation & Coordination Walden University 25 November 2012 Abstract As a public organization, the Canadian Forces Military Police exist to deliver services defined by public policy.

Such change requires planning; therefore, this review will generally discuss the use of defined strategic planning processes within the organizational structure of the Canadian Forces Military Police. More specifically, this review will discuss various processes for defining operational mandates, defining strategic requirements to manage change, developing tactical implementation plans and strategies for implementing and monitoring the implementation of planned systems of change.

...Strategic Management Process Paper Nicole Graziano MGT/498 November 11, 2013 Amy Novoa Strategic Management Process * In an attempt to improve an organizations management plan and define strategies, often companies will develop a strategic management plan. This plan includes four basic steps, for a continuous process that will evaluate the business in its own industry against its competitors, and will challenge goals to meet the needs of the mission and vision while raising one up to the competitor. Starbucks has developed a very successful strategic planning process. The strategic management process that Starbucks uses will be described in this paper. * * Primary Components of a Strategic Management Process * According to Thomas Wheelan (2010) the four basic elements or the primary components of a strategic management process are “environmental scanning, strategy formulation, strategy implementation, and evaluation and control” (pg.14). * A strategic management process is needed for a company to succeed and achieve a better performance over the competitor. According to Kevin Blankinship, the idea and line behind strategic management is goal setting – to “combine purposeful planning with meaningful action” (Blankinship, 2013). * The first step in the planning process is to define the goals of the company. Performing a SWOT analysis is the best way to prepare for potential changes in a company. Then the leaders will need to come up with...
