Key internal factor Acquire Cell phone ,Inc. (SO) 20% annual growth in the cell phone industry (opportunity ) Excess working capacity (strength ) Pursue horizontal integration by buying competitors ‘s facilities (WO) Exit of two major foreign competitors (opportunity ) Insufficient capacity (weakness) Develop new products for older adults (ST) Decreasing number of younger adults (threat ) Strong R&D expertise (strength ) Develop a new employees benefits package (WT) Strong union activity (threat) Poor employees morale (weakness)

Steps to Developing a SPACE Matrix
Select a set of variables to define FS, CA, ES, and IS. Assign a numerical value: From +1 to +6 to each FS & IS dimension From -1 to -6 to each ES & CA dimension Compute an average score for each FS, CA, ES, and IS. Plot the average score on the appropriate axis. Add the two scores on the x-axis and plot the point. Add the two scores on the y-axis and plot the point. Plot the intersection of the new xy point. Draw a directional vector from the origin through the new intersection point. Ch 7 -23 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education

Steps to Develop a QSPM Make a list of the firm’s key external opportunities/threats and internal strengths/weaknesses in the left column. Assign weights to each key external and internal factor. Examine the Stage 2 (matching) matrices, and identify alternative strategies that the organization should consider implementing. Determine the Attractiveness Scores. Compare the Total Attractiveness Scores. Compute the Sum Total Attractiveness Score. Ch 7 -42 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education
