1. Give an overview of the situation.
• Identify the parts of the general environment and the task environment of the organization which are the sources of opportunities and threats.
• This is not to be a restatement of the facts, but a selecting of the “big-picture” issues from your SWOT analysis.
2 Include the SWOT chart showing technical ability to provide information
3 Explain in detail the main problem (root cause or driving force that leads to other problems) and secondary problems (symptoms of the main problem) giving support for your claims.
• Identify the long-term (beyond 1 year) and short-term impacts (within 1 year) of the problems on the organization explicitly.
4. State at least three different options or alternatives for resolving the main problem. Explain what could be the costs and benefits of each.
5. Clearly state your choice for the best alternative and justify your choice based on the cost and benefits of the option.
• THIS IS YOUR ONE FINAL RECOMMENDATION, not a combination of all the alternatives
• It must be analyzed as one of the alternatives in the alternatives section of the paper. Give a strategy for implementing your plan. (answer who, what when and where for your implementation plan)
