What part does external environmental analysis play in the development.

This module examines the role of
organizational culture, organizational structure, and strategic resources in
implementing strategy. Value-adding support strategies are based on the
elements of the lower portion of the value chain and are the means for
accomplishing the decisions made in strategy formulation. These value chain
components determine the organizational context and are vital in effective
strategy implementation.
Summary: The value-adding support strategies provide a
powerful means to change the organization and create a competitive advantage,
especially because some of the value assign support activities are less visible
to those outside the organization, making a competitive advantage much more difficult
to imitate or duplicate. Decisions concerning the organization’s culture,
structure, and resources are strategic and should be made by strategic
thinkers.
