Complete a VRIO or Value Chain analysis, a PESTLE analysis, and a Five Forces model for an organization. Prepare a 3-6-page executive report that analyzes the internal and external environments of the organization and recommends a course of action based on the analysis.
Introduction
AFI, VRIO, and value chain are just three concepts you need to understand as a business strategist. This assessment focuses on these important facets of business analysis.
Introduction
For this assessment, you will analyze the internal and external factors that shape and influence an organization’s strategy. Your work on this assessment will demonstrate your understanding of industry forces and how an organization can leverage its strengths to its advantage. This portfolio work project asks you to analyze the strategic process using the AFI framework. This analysis will clearly demonstrate your ability to think critically and strategically, and to use evidence to support your thinking.
Scenario
The vice president of strategy has asked you to prepare an objective analysis of the internal and external environments of the organization. She is hoping that your insight can be used to plan for the future direction of the company.
Your Role
You are a strategic analyst for the company you have selected to use in this course. The company has recently started the strategic planning process and needs to analyze the current internal and external environments.
Requirements
To complete this assessment, be sure you understand the AFI framework as presented in your text. Conduct your own research to find recent articles on the value of strategic planning and the role of leadership in the strategic planning process. (Note that the Strategic Management Process Map on pages 30 and 31 of the course text will be very helpful in completing this assessment.)
For this assessment, you will need to complete a VRIO or Value Chain analysis, a PESTLE analysis based on research of the organization (not conjecture or opinion), and a Five Forces model (pay attention to the relationships of elements from both PESTLE and Five Forces). Your prior discussion work should help here. These must be included as appendices in the document you submit. You should also research the industry your company is in, as well as the company’s website for information and supporting evidence. Once you have this research completed, prepare an executive briefing report that will be distributed to senior executive leadership. In your report, address the following:
Analyze the key components of the AFI strategic planning framework. Assess the value of using a strategic planning framework for long-term success and sustained competitive advantage.
Analyze the internal environment of the organization.
What are the key findings from your VRIO or Value Chain analysis?
How well does the organization leverage its strengths to execute the business strategy?
How effective is the organizational structure and management system design?
Analyze the external environment of the organization.
What are the key findings from your PESTLE analysis?
What are the key findings from your Five Forces analysis?
How can the organization respond to these forces to better position itself?
Explain the role of leadership in the strategic planning process. Be sure to address the ethical responsibilities of leaders in the strategic planning process.
Recommend a course of action for leadership based on your analysis.
Deliverable Format
The strategic process and analysis is a professional document and should therefore follow the corresponding MBA Academic and Professional Document Guidelines, found under Writing in the MBA Program Resources, which you can find in the Tools and Resources for this course. Pay attention to the sections on APA formatting and citing references.
In addition to the analysis, include:
Title page.
Table of contents.
Executive summary.
References page with APA formatted references from at least five sources.
Appendices: VRIO or Value Chain analysis, PESTLE analysis, and Five Forces analysis.
Target length of 3–6 content pages in addition to title, references pages, and appendices including your VRIO/Value Chain, PESTLE, and Five Forces analyses.
Written for an audience of executive leaders.
Evaluation
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies through corresponding scoring guide criteria:
Competency 1: Assess the importance of strategic management for supporting long term success and sustained competitive advantage.
Analyze the key components of the AFI strategic planning framework, assessing the value of using a strategic planning framework for sustained competitive advantage.
Explain the role of leadership in the strategic planning process.
Competency 2: Apply strategic thinking approaches to resolve business-related challenges.

CHAPTER 9: The Drug Business
Trafficking in illegal drugs at the highest wholesale levels are controlled by international organized crime syndicates from Colombia, Mexico, and other countries. Headquartered in a foreign country, leaders maintain tight control of their workers through highly compartmentalized cell structures.Control of most of the world’s cocaine industry remains in the hands of Colombian organizations, which have expanded into heroin. Colombia has a violent history, with a drug culture to match. The country is wracked by leftist insurgencies and right-wing militias, both using drug trafficking to finance their efforts. For distribution in the United States, Colombian organizations are aligned with Mexican and Dominican organizations.
Mexico has a long history of political corruption that has affected law enforcement, and leading drug traffickers are publicly celebrated. Mexican drug organizations have cells operating in the United States, and in addition to dealing Mexican-produced heroin, they have partnered with Colombians to distribute cocaine. Although they are latecomers to the trade, Mexican drug organizations have also become dominant in the manufacture and distribution of methamphetamine. Drug trafficking has connections to terrorism. Terrorists may use the business to finance their efforts, and/or personnel in drug and terrorist groups may overlap. Terrorists can offer military skills and weapons, while traffickers provide a source of revenue and expertise in illicit transfer and laundering of proceeds.
CHAPTER 10: Drug Laws and Law Enforcement
Drug abuse results from a combination of susceptibility and availability and law enforcement can affect availability. Law enforcement efforts are constrained by the constitutional due process, in particular, the Fourth Amendment, jurisdictional limitations, and corruption, both domestic and foreign. The necessary use of informants and undercover work in the fight against drug trafficking is particularly prone to corruption. The legal foundation for federal drug law violations is the Controlled Substances Act, which places a substance in one of five schedules, and states have largely followed the federal model. People who are involved in the illegal drug business can be arrested and prosecuted for such offenses as manufacture, importation, distribution, possession, and sale. Particularly useful are conspiracy statutes that obviate the need for proving a substantive crime and permit the prosecution of an entire organization. Since money laundering is a crucial element in wholesale drug dealing, there is a specific statute that outlaws efforts to conceal the source of funds. More controversial are civil forfeiture statutes because of the possibility of harming innocent third parties.
Local law enforcement efforts are typically directed against mid-level or street-level dealers; federal efforts focus on large-scale wholesalers, many of whom operate on a transnational basis. While several federal agencies have some responsibility for drug enforcement, it is the DEA and Immigration and Customs Enforcement that have the largest roles. Military involvement in drug law enforcement is limited by the Posse Comitatus Act, and military officials have traditionally opposed even a supportive role. Street-level drug law enforcement can result in displacement but disrupts connections between retailers and consumers. Intensive street-level operations are expensive and can have the effect of reducing competition and increasing profits of remaining dealers. Increased arrests can also overburden the justice system.
Measuring “success” in drug law enforcement is elusive because of a lack of standards regarding arrests, seizures, and purity levels. Law enforcement that reduces the available supply of a particular drug may cause substitution, and the profits that can result in such market conditions may encourage new players to get involved.

The Final Analysis
Choose any of the art forms studied during the term, including dance. Locate a specific work or performance that was created by an artist who confessed to Christianity and worked out of a distinctively Christian worldview. The work should be considered a masterpiece of its kind.
Do some research on the artist and the work and try to gain a deep understanding of how the artist integrated his or her faith with the materials of that art form. Study the work yourself independent of the judgment of others to further this understanding.
Consider the following questions:
1) How does the content of the work reflect a Christian worldview?
2) How does the style of the work contribute to its message?
3) How does the artist handle the unique challenges of the artistic form?
4) What in the craftsmanship or execution of the work reflects an understanding of art as a gift from God?
5) Are there any aspects of the work that you question given your own understanding of the faith?
Now for this assignment, compose a 1000-1500 word critical analysis of a specific artistic masterwork by an artist who confesses or confessed Christianity. Address the five questions listed above in an essay designed to show how faith can be expressed through the tools of a specific artistic medium. Use specific detailed analysis of parts of the work to develop your points.
Include with your essay images from the work, sound clips from it, or links to it. These will be in addition to the 1000-1500 word analysis. Also, you should include citations when using materials from scholarly sources, but this paper is to be an analysis, not a research essay.
If you have questions, contact your instructor, but do so well in advance of the project’s due date.
