External Environmental Scan

In order to develop effective strategies, it is critical to understand the marketplace environment. In this assignment, you will explore the relationship between marketplace positioning based on environmental factors.

Throughout this course, you will work on a strategy audit for a selected organization. In Module 1, you selected an organization for your course project activities and completed a market position analysis for your organization.

In this module, you will conduct a comprehensive external environmental scan of your business unit, including a five forces analysis, to identify the relevant trends that pose opportunities or threats to your business. These will serve as inputs for a final strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis that will be due in Module 4: Assignment 2.

There are many elements that can go into an environmental scan, and your analysis will depend on the nature of your business unit, product portfolio, target market, and other factors related to the scope of your business.

Your environmental scan should include some or all of the following elements:

  • Economic factors and trends
  • Political factors and trends
  • Regulatory and legal factors and trends
  • Societal factors and trends
  • Technological factors and trends
  • Geographic factors and trends
  • Porter’s five forces that consists of the following aspects:
    • Threat of new competition
    • Threat of substitute products or services
    • Bargaining power of customers (buyers)
    • Bargaining power of suppliers
    • Intensity of competitive/industry rivalry

Although your analysis will be tailored to your specific business, be sure to cover the following:

  • A thorough five forces analysis of your industry
  • The key factors and trends in any other areas affecting your industry
  • A preliminary classification of the external factors and trends as either opportunities or threats which will be the inputs for the final SWOT analysis

INSTRUCTIONS

Review the criteria and provided scenarios for the Recovery Plan, and Select one scenario to respond to with minimum of 3 pages. Must provide 3 scholarly references in APA.

 

SCENERIOS

Chemical Scenario: Chemical Attack on the Super Bowl

 The New England Patriots are taking on the New Orleans Saints in the Super Bowl, located in the Louisiana Superdome. The Superdome’s capacity for a football game is approximately 72,000; and the stadium is packed to capacity with excited football fans.

 At the beginning of the second quarter fans report a bitter almond smell coming from both the men and women’s bathrooms. Hydrogen cyanide (HCN), a colorless gas form of cyanide, has been released into the stadium via the vents in the Stadium bathrooms. Fans that have visited the bathrooms are experiencing the worst symptoms, while all fans and players are beginning to display symptoms of cyanide poisoning.

Create a recovery plan based on this scenario, which is specific to a chemical attack. Address all of the necessary criteria for the Recovery Plan as it relates to this chemical scenario.

 

Biological Scenario: Biological attack in the US Congress

The US Congress consists of three Senate Office Buildings and three House Office Buildings, in addition to the Capital building. The Rayburn House Office Building has a large cafeteria, which primarily consists of a generous salad bar and a few food stations that offer hot items. This cafeteria is open to Members of Congress, Congressional staffers, and visitors, including lobbyists and constituents.

 After the cafeteria has closed for the afternoon, Capital Police receive a phone call informing them all food in the Rayburn cafeteria was tainted with clostridia, which is a major source of botulinum toxin.

Create a recovery plan based on this scenario, which is specific to a biological attack. Address all of the necessary criteria for the Recovery Plan as it relates to this biological scenario.

 

Radiological Scenario: A Dirty Bomb in the Mall of America

It is the day after Thanksgiving, commonly referred to as Black Friday in America, and the busiest shopping day of the year. The Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota is crowded with eager shoppers. The Santa Clause exhibit, which allows young children to have their picture taken with Santa, is equally crowded. A substantial number of parents and children have formed a line to wait for a picture with Santa.

One of the props used in the Santa exhibit, a large gift package, suddenly explodes. In addition to unusual metal debris being thrown from the package, there are glowing particles surrounding the blast site. Additional materials seem to be emitting heat, but with no direct heating source.

People of all ages have been injured by the explosion. Some victims even display signs of burns. Obviously individuals closest to the explosion are at the most risk for exposure, but the Mall was very crowded before the explosion.

Create a recovery plan based on this scenario, which is specific to a radiological attack. Address all of the necessary criteria for the Recovery Plan as it relates to this Radiological scenario.

 

CRITERIA

The Recovery Plan should contain the following criteria:

1.       Explain the specific agent used in the attack and the effects of the agent on victims, and surrounding areas, if appropriate.

2.       Explain symptoms victims will experience and display

3.       Identify which government agencies (local, state, and federal) will need to be involved in the response to the terrorist attack.

4.       Explain the appropriate role and responsibility for all agencies involved.

5.       List communication methods between first responders and involved agencies; and identify necessary information that will need to be communicated to the public.

6.       Explain the unique challenges first responders will face when responding to the attack.

7.       Identify the proper Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE) that will be needed when responding to the attack.

8.       Explain how first responders should establish a perimeter and how large the containment effort should be.

9.       Explain what sort of decontamination procedures and equipment will be necessary to treat victims.

10.   Identify the appropriate decontamination stage for the attack, and explain initial decontamination considerations.

11.   Explain the type of evidence first responders should be looking for, and how first responders can preserve any evidence.

 

12.   Discuss the effect the attack will have on the area.

DS 1

Discussion 1: New Voices Supporting Early Care and Education

 This week you studied a variety of position papers, all of which put forth arguments in support of stronger funding of quality care and education during the early years. These arguments originate in three “worlds” usually not deeply connected with the lives of young children. They are proposed by economists, neuroscientists, and politicians.

 Currently, many seasoned early childhood professionals are finding that their experience-based knowledge of children and families is supported by research within these three fields. And, overall, early childhood professionals have welcomed this research and the influx of new interest by these fields because it is beginning to translate into increased funding for programs in need of financial support, or into the creation of worthwhile new early childhood programs.

 On what specific data do these voices, new to the field of early childhood, anchor their arguments? What are some of their main arguments for supporting young children and families? In what ways do they articulate their support? What is the essence of their suggestions? This assignment is an opportunity to investigate these questions.

 In preparation for the Discussion,
 

•Review all required resources, including the media segment and the U.S. Department of Education website.

•For each resource, evaluate which main arguments are presented in favor of care and education policies for the early years.

•Choose one written resource that stimulates your professional curiosity more than the others, and that you want to analyze further.

•Using the reading you selected and the media segment, evaluate in what specific way(s) commitment to the well-being of young children, families, or early childhood professionals is expressed in each of the two resources.
By Wednesday:

Post

 A brief response to each of the following questions:
 

•What influenced your choice of the written resource?

•How is respect for and commitment to the well-being of young children, families, and/or early childhood professionals expressed in the article and the media segment?

•How has your understanding of early childhood issues and trends deepened by considering the views of economists, neuroscientists, and polDiscussion 2: Children, Childhood, and the Economic Argument—Unintended Consequences
