In this 2-hour long project-based course, you will learn how to analyze, and set the right strategic direction for your organization with Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM). The QSPM is designed to assess and determine the extent that alternative strategies enable the firm to effectively take advantage of external opportunities, mitigate external threats, capitalize on internal strengths, and improve upon internal weaknesses. As a strategic-management tool, the process can be described as an objective, logical, systematic approach for making major decisions in an organization. In order to analyze and set the right strategy for our organization, we will use a spreadsheet to sketch, conduct the analysis, and determine the best strategic direction, among other alternatives. Also, for us to practically demonstrate how to apply the QSPM to set the optimal strategic direction, we have created an energy services company we want to use for the analysis.
