Strategic Plan Part One: Environmental Scan- Adventist Health Central Valley Network Resource: Strategic Plan, Part 1: Environmental Scan Grading Guide You will perform an environmental scan for your target company. Choose an organization according to the following: Current employer Most recent or former employer Place of business that you have patronized or have been familiar with over a long period of time. Avoid choosing an organization that is so large that historical data would be difficult to apply. Firms in the Russell 2000® index may fit well, whereas firms in the Dow 30 Industrial index probably do not. The organization can be a start-up that you or a significant other may create in the future. For a start-up, focus on an entrepreneurial idea that is of substantive interest, so this project leaves you with a product you may leverage in the future. Create a 5-6 SLIDE presentation on the environmental analysis in which you include the following: -Determine how to create value and sustain competitive advantage using the environmental scanning strategy. -Evaluate the company’s external environment. -Assess the company’s general environment. -Evaluate the organization’s industry operating environment.
