PDF Summary
Internal Environmental Analysis examines an organization’s resources and capabilities to inform strategic decisions.

The analysis supports strategic planning, efficiency, and market positioning.

Strategic Analysis Process
Involves evaluating vision and mission statements, generating strategic options (e.g., Ansoff’s matrix, Porter’s strategies), and utilizing scenario planning.

Competences – Categorized into threshold competences (essential to stay in business) and core competences (differentiating capabilities that provide a competitive edge). These evolve over time.
Critical Success Factors (CSFs)
imited key areas that determine success, measured through Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
Value System & Value Shop
