Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word strategic objectives summary. Include your balanced scorecard and its impact on all stakeholders, and the communication plan, including an in-depth introduction and conclusion.

Identify key trends, assumptions, and risks in the context of your final business model.

Develop the strategic objectives for your new division of the existing business in a balanced scorecard format in the context of key trends, assumptions, and risks. The strategic objectives are measures of attaining your vision and mission. As you develop them, consider the vision, mission, and values for your business and the outcomes of your SWOT analysis and supply chain analysis.

Consider the following four quadrants of the balanced scorecard when developing your strategic objectives:

• Shareholder Value or Financial Perspective, which includes strategic objectives in areas such as:
• Market share
• Revenues and costs
• Profitability
• Competitive position
• Customer Value Perspective, which includes strategic objectives in areas such as:
• Customer retention or turnover
• Customer satisfaction
• Customer value
• Process or Internal Operations Perspective, which includes strategic objectives in areas such as:
• Measure of process performance
• Productivity or productivity improvement
• Operations metrics
• Impact of change on the organization
• Learning and Growth (Employee) Perspective, which includes strategic objectives in areas such as:
• Employee satisfaction
• Employee turnover or retention
• Level of organizational capability
• Nature of organizational culture or climate
• Technological innovation

Evaluate potential alternatives to the issues and/or opportunities identified in the SWOT Analysis paper and table you completed in Week 3.

Create at least three strategic objectives for each of the four balanced scorecard areas.  Base your solutions on a ranking of alternative solutions that includes the following:

• Identify potential risks and mitigation plans
• Analyze a stakeholder and include mitigation and contingency strategies.
• Incorporate ethical implications

Develop a metric and target for each strategic objective using a balanced scorecard format.

• Example: a strategic objective in the shareholder or financial perspective is to increase market share. A metric to actually measure this strategic objective of market share increase is, “The percentage of increase in market share.” The target is the specific number to be achieved in a particular time period. The target for the metric of “Increase market share” could be “Increase market share by 2% for each of the next 3 years” of an increase of 2% per year for 3 years.)

Outline a brief communication plan discussing how you will communicate the company’s strategic objectives that includes the following:

• Define the purpose.
• Define the audience.
• Identify the channel(s) of communication and why you selected that channel.

Format paper consistent with APA guidelines.

 

 

Imagine you are a manager at a major bottling company. Customers have begun to complain that the bottles of the brand of soda produced in your company contain less than the advertised sixteen (16) ounces of product. Your boss wants to solve the problem at hand and has asked you to investigate. You have your employees pull thirty (30) bottles off the line at random from all the shifts at the bottling plant. You ask your employees to measure the amount of soda there is in each bottle. Note: Use the data set provided by your instructor to complete this assignment. 

Bottle Number	Ounces	Bottle Number	Ounces	Bottle Number	Ounces
1	14.23	11	15.77	21	16.23
2	14.32	12	15.80	22	16.25

9	15.65	19	16.21	29	16.91
10	15.74	20	16.21	30	16.96

1. Calculate the mean, median, and standard deviation for ounces in the bottles.
2. Construct a 95% Confidence Interval for the ounces in the bottles.
3. Conduct a hypothesis test to verify if the claim that a bottle contains less than sixteen (16) ounces is supported. Clearly state the logic of your test, the calculations, and the conclusion of your test.
4. Provide the following discussion based on the conclusion of your test:  

a. If you conclude that there are less than sixteen (16) ounces in a bottle of soda, speculate on three (3) possible causes. Next, suggest the strategies to avoid the deficit in the future.

Or

b. If you conclude that the claim of less soda per bottle is not supported or justified, provide a detailed explanation to your boss about the situation. Include your speculation on the reason(s) behind the claim, and recommend one (1) strategy geared toward mitigating this issue in the future.
