The three questions integral to a company\u2019s formulation of a strategic plan are: Where is the company now? Where does it want to go and how does the leadership get it there? The Final Project for your Capstone course provides you with an opportunity to choose a company, conduct a strategic analysis, and present a detailed plan for its growth and development.<\/p>\n
One of the goals of this Final Project is for you to cull all you have learned from your Graduate program in order to both showcase your cumulative learning and inform your strategic analysis of your chosen company\u2019s current state in a range of functional areas. After completing your strategic analysis, you work to create a plan for the company. This plan should include how to capitalize on opportunities for continued or expanded growth and development and determine a direction for the future.<\/p>\n
