This exercise should help you think about
1) your long-term personal goals, and 2)
companies you might want to work for
1. What do you want inscribed on your
gravestone?
What would be your primary goal if you
were told you had 18 months to live?
If you had a child, what is the most
important lesson that you would like him or
her to know?
Book says, “…every organization has a
mission statement that defines its
purpose and answers the question ‘what
business are we in?’
Use the answers to the above questions to write
a personal mission statement/paragraph that
should specify your life’s goal!
Consider:
Values: what’s important to you, e.g. health,
friends
Principles: guidelines to follow, e.g. fairness,
quality, service
Strengths: your qualities, e.g. adaptable,
confident
Blockers: what’s stopping you? e.g. shyness,
laziness
Next write a paragraph describing the
mission of a company you would want to
work for.
SWOT analysis
Environmental Scan – Both internal and external factors
need to be considered:
1. Internal factors – characteristics in the firm
(management, mission, resources, systems process,
and structure) that can be considered strengths or
strong points and weaknesses or weak points.
2. External factors - characteristics in the
environment that are “outside” the firm (customers,
competitors, suppliers, labor force, shareholders,
society, technology, the economy, and
governments) that represent opportunities to tap or
threats to flank.

Grand, Business, and Functional
A. Grand level strategies:
- 1. Growth (a. concentration; b.
diversification)
- 2. Retrenchment
- 3. Stability (status quo)
- 4. Combination (multiple strategies)
1a. Growth through concentration –
concentrating on your existing specialization
i. market penetration – aggressively targeting
current markets with existing product specialties
ii. market development/geographic expansion –
expanding into new markets

products, or develop new but related
products
1b. Growth through diversification – branching
out into new areas
i. horizontal integration – expanding across the
general industry (e.g. Coke acquires Minutemaid).
ii. vertical integration – expanding into industries
populated by suppliers/buyers (e.g. Ford buys steel
plant).
iii. conglomerate diversification – expanding into
unrelated industries (e.g. GM buys Hershey’s
candy).

company in order to diversity efficiently.
2. Retrenchment
i. Turnaround – downsizing existing
company/divisions
ii. Divestiture – selling off existing

continuous improvement)
4. Combination – multiple use of strategies
